Since they are building up some of the background to the good stuff, I don't feel like it really brings the story down. Once the story picks up, a few chapters in, it doesn't stop. When the story picked up for me, the book was really hard to put down. It sucked me in and didn't let me go, even when the book ended (mostly because the story isn't over). I'm really looking forward to reading the next book and finding out more about The Testing.<br /><br />Mariz<br /><a href="http://www.housecleaning-maidservice-ny.com/goshen_ny_maid_servicestart.php" rel="nofollow">Get Best Info for Goshen NY Maid Service visit site</a>Penelope Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732383763497653346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472726634139621642.post-11380267393786225602013-06-01T21:46:27.199-06:002013-06-01T21:46:27.199-06:00Glad you enjoyed this one.

I kind of felt like this would be an SAT test from hell LOL Another reviewer said they go through a lot of crazy things for the test and then have their memory wiped of the test anyway so I wasn't sure I would like the story.

I downloaded it from NetGalley, but it was one of those that only went to the computer and not the Kindle, and I just couldn't sit in front of the computer to read it. I will have to get it when it comes out.

It certainly sounds like an entertaining premise, and I must admit when I first read the synopsis I thought Hunger Games ripoff. So happy it turned out to be better than that! I've got an ARC and now I'm excited to make some time and read it.

It reminded me too much of both Hunger Games and Enclave, and it just didn't reach me emotionally at all. Technically, I didn't see any major flaws, but emotionally, it just didn't work for me. I'm glad this was not the case with you.<br />Great review.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.com
