I don't know why but I've been feeling like writing book reviews and as we don't have that many, who's gonna blame me for writing another?
So, a few years ago, maybe three or just two years ago, I asked my mum to get me these two books for Christmas as I thought I was going to love. Guess what? I was wrong.... These two books were probably the most weird books I've ever read, in a bad way... The first one, Hunger, is about this town in California I think where, all of a sudden, everyone who's up to fifteen years old disappears. So there's this scene where they are at the classroom and the teacher suddenly vanishes. How crazy is that? And things start to get even more bizarre when the kids start to gain super powers. Cool, right? That's what I thought.
Sam is the main character and I honestly don't remember that much of him but I don't know why I couldn't relate myself with him. He has this weird super power that, as I remember it, consists in lighting up his hands or something. Like, he claps his hand and a light lights up. Just kidding. But seriously, he's like one of the most powerful kids in there and all he can do is that? What the hell?!
And there's Astrid who's Sam's girlfriend. First of all, who the hell is named Astrid? Astrid is a really odd name. And she's such a dead character, I mean, she doesn't have any energy and she always seems so sad... I think the only characters I liked were Dana or Lana, don't remember, Diana and Pete. Lana, for me, was the strongest character, Diana was really mess up but so smart and Pete was so strange that I actually ended up liking him.
Still in Gone, in the end there's this scene where Sam and his brother (whose name I cannot remember) are fighting and Sam has the chance to kill (his brother is one of the bad guys) and doesn't. Why doesn't Sam kill him? They have only met a few days before so they aren't friends or anything so why doesn't Sam kill him? Because he's his brother? Well, let me tell you something Sam, your brother is freaking mean! He's kind of a sociopath!! Exactly like Drake!By the way,Drake is another psychopath that I absolutely hate!
I think this starts in Gone to, but all of those scenes when Lana/Dana is at the woods in that little house with the wolves surrounding it were just so uncomfortable! And what is that thing that's living inside of that cave that's calling for her? What is it?
Even though this books has all these strange questions, I think it is to big, I mean, I have no problems with big books as long as they are interesting but this one just moved at a very slow pace and most of the scenes were either boring, weird or uncomfortable.
Anyway, that's just my opinion on this book I've read a really long time ago so if I read it now my opinion might be different, but I've heard good things about and there are people who actually liked this book so if you want to read go ahead, there's nothing stopping you!
