First off, the characters are absolutely brilliant. Bliss is an expert at showing their bond and their impoverished situation that you can’t help but sympathize and find someway to relate to them.
I want to start out talking about the “twist� in the book. I’m here to say that while I feel it is easy for the reader to figure out what is really going on early in the beginning, Bliss wasn’t trying to create this HAHA FOOLED YOU moment, but rather write about the strong bond between two boys towards the end of high school. How hard it is to figure out where you stand in this adult world when you’ve already been forced to be in that situation for so long.
Bliss notes at the end how he felt this was mainly written to make a statement about death row, but I really felt that the story took a step to the back, as Luke and Toby’s characters where just so strong that it really made it about the trials of growing up and the unexpected that can happen with friendship and time.
The prose in this book are very strong, very compelling, and very emotional. I was very surprised when I saw that not many people are talking about it, as this book needs to be read more. I was very moved, and I loved every page....more

Having been following this series since the third book was released, I was beyond excited and a little sad that it was finally coming to a close. How would it be handled?
This review will remain relatively short, so as to avoid spoilers. But here were a couple things I was expecting from this book:
--Tragedy --Romance --Major heroism
Now these terms basically describe every book in the series, but I feel this book covers all of them wonderfully. There were times I was swooning, on the verge of tears, and rooting for the protagonists big time.
Towards the end, I will admit, I was scared Maas was going to take the easy way out. But a completion of the final 100 pages quickly made me fall in love with the ending.
All in all, this was a beautiful close to the series that had me rolling through all of the emotions.
Considering that this was nearly a 1,000 page novel, I could make this review way longer than it is. But, I think my rating will speak for itself....more

I immediately started reading it when I received it and I must say, I was amazed. This book is a precious "artifact". I was instantly immersed, almost like I was in OASIS, experiencing this marvelous tail. I rarely laugh, scream, yell, whoop, or any variations of those things, out loud, when reading a book, but, when I was reading this, my classmates probably thought I was crazy when they were around me while I was reading this book. If you are contemplating on buying this, buy it. If you have it sitting on your bookshelf and have questioned to read it or not, go pick it up and read it now. If you've already read it, read it again. No words can describe how amazing this book's story, characters, and plot really are. Ernest Cline, you have crafted a masterpiece....more

While I still figured out the major twist at the end, there were enough twists in the middle to make up for it. I cannot wait to read the second book. Marissa Meyer has created a world and characters like no other. I felt for these characters, it felt like I was there with them. Meyer has created a world and characters and story line so believable, that when I looked through my door way, I half expected Iko and Cinder to be coming through. ...more
