This book was awesome. I am not a sci-fi fan, myself, but i chose this book for a school project and i definately do not regret it. Its story is so absorbing and every minute is actions packed. A must read. Two thumbs way, way up!

This is the best science fiction book I have ever read. I actually don't like to read science fiction, but I could not put this book down ! It took me only a weekend to read, and when I was done I wished I had taken more time reading it.

In this book, the world is greatly changed. The Change happened right aorund our time now, and the book takes place 15 years after the Change. During the Change everyone over 14 years old just vanished, disappeared. They were taken to a parallel universe. The Overlords took charge and started the Meat faxctory. On childrens 14th birthdays they were taken to the meat factory, and parts of their bodies and their brains were used to make creatures, dark creatures. Kinda gruesome. Anyway, this book revolves around Gold-Eye, Ninde, Ella, and Drum, who are all part of a gropu of escaped children. These children all escaped the dormitories and are all under Shades care. Shade is sort of human, sort of not. He is really hard to explain, so youll just have to wait and read. The whole plot, although it sounds kinda corny when you read about it, is actually very believable and well-thought out. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone 12 and over. The ending was great, made me cry...but I cry at the end of just about every book anyway.
