Review Detail

I thought I would be hooked on this book since the book's main character had such a similar name to me. I thought that it was funny that she did, and that she might be like me a little bit. No, not true. The poem that kept popping up, the 'don't go gentle' one, I thought that the poem might inspire Cassia to rebel. No, she did not, she took things quietly, and hardly rebelled at all. If the author was trying to write a rebellious character, it did not work out well.

The love between Ky and Cassia as well, to me, was a bit to quick and weird. I think that when they said the 'I love you's' I thought that was pretty weird. As we saw it, they were only friends, then poof, they are in love. Not cool. It was a to easy relationship. And though the relationship bloomed over a few months, it was still pretty quick, as the book did not revolve around it, and really only followed the events, with these confusing glimpses added in.

I liked the Grandfather. He was awesome. He knew that the world was wrong, and knew that freedom is more important than safety. The restrictions and death sentences made me pretty upset, and the hundred things. There is no need to limit knowledge, but knowledge is power, so in a way I understand that.

This book was written in a simplistic style that was a bit boring. They could of added more detail, and traits to the characters. Like Ky, we hardly know anything about him, and it is weird falling for a person who you know nothing about. It should start as a friendship before going anywhere else.

This book was okay, not the best, and the simplistic manner that it was written in bored me out of my mind. I am not reading the next one as I do not think it is worth the money.
