Review Feedback - Robison Wells

A new review about Feedback by Robison Wells is added as a page under 'Series/Trilogies Reviews' on the side --->

It's a bit short because there wasn't that much to say without spoiling things :P And besides, it was kinda the same as the first book. You also got to find out everything about the whole Maxfield Academy and I was a bit surprised about the whole truth.

Mind you, the ending was a bit disappointing, but I thought that the rest of the book was good :) If you want to find out more about what I thought of this book then you know where to click! And if you haven't read Variant then I got the review right under this post :)

Variant - Robison Wells

Variant by Robison Wells is the first book I've read from him. There's also a sequel to this book called Feedback. If you liked the Maze Runner, I'm pretty sure you will like this one as well! It's similar, but with a twist. And by a twist, I mean things turned out to be completely different from what I imagined.

The Blurb:
Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.

He was wrong.

Now he's trapped in a school that's surrounded by a razor-wire fence, where video cameras monitor his every move - and where breaking the rules equals death.
All Benson wants is to find a way out. But when he stumbles upon the real secret the school has been hiding, he realizes that escape may be impossible.

My Thoughts:
When I started reading this, it wasn't like I could barely put it down like other books that's been so good that I can't leave it, but I wanted to see if Benson made it out in the end. It wasn't boring or anything because stuff happened all the time and the way the school was run by teens, I wanted to know what this was all about. Same as Benson.

And then, after halfway through the book when he finds the truth about this place, I couldn't put it down! Seriously, I finished this book around 4 this morning. I couldn't stop reading and when I finished it, I jumped out of the bed and got the sequel out of the bookshelf and continued. When the clock turned almost 5 a.m, I told myself that I had to put it down and go to sleep :P Everything changed and trust me, I did not see this coming, at all! At one minute, things felt a bit strange about this place, but nothing really happen and then everything changed when he found out what was really going on. Usually, you have an idea about how a book might end, but this was something else.

It went from ok, this reminds me of Maze Runner..they're stuck in this school and Benson's the only one in this place who actually wants to escape to What is happening?? What is this place? Omg! I did not see this coming!! You can't trust anyone here! What's going to happen now? and so on.. It ended up becoming a thriller more or less.

Of course, this is my thoughts about this book and I thought this turned out to be one awesome story. Some people might not think that this was any good at all or maybe thought the twist sounded weird or something :P But, if you like the Maze Runner (and I don't mean the movie version) then I'm pretty sure you will like this one too.

4/5

8 new books and some update

Hello! It's been a while but nothing much have happened since last time. I'm still reading Edge of Eternity and hopefully I will finish it soon! I know...It takes some time to finish it and I don't have a really good excuse other than I haven't been in a reading mood or had that much time lately (blaming my bf for staying a week at a time). At least I'm over halfway in the book and I still enjoy reading it. So far, so good!

Over to my new books!:
