  "At the end of The Knife of Never Letting Go, Todd and Viola have made it to Haven in hopes of sanctuary from their pursuers, the ever-growing Prentisstown army…only to meet with grim news. Haven has been surrendered to Mayor – that’s President, now – Prentiss, and Viola is near death from her gunshot wound. When Todd awakens at the opening of The Ask and the Answer, however, he is alone with the enemy, with Viola nowhere in sight. Todd struggles awake with a single thought in his mind – to find her, to save her, to keep the both of them alive and out of the Mayor’s (the President’s) reach. But Todd finds himself trapped, ensnared in the Mayor’s web of manipulations, lies and truths. Forces larger than the two young teens pull them apart and test the strength of their relationship, as two warring camps emerge with the Mayor and men of New Prentisstown on one side, and the insurgent, mysterious “Answer” on the other."

  "This is my second novel in the genre after The handmaid's tale and I'm impressed. The central theme revolves around a propaganda spread by ruling class fooling the humanity into living in underground "ant farms", believing the world above to be uninhabitable, while a small ruling class above divvies the Earth into villas where they use their "leadies" (robots constructed below and sent up for the "war effort") to build personal mansions. The main occupation of the ruling class ("Yance men") is to carefully produce the propaganda and false images that they broadcast to the subsurface workers, to keep them from coming up. The book forces you to think about the world - about how media can be used to manipulate the masses, about the nature of religion and belief, and about the complicated play between morality and authority and political conspiracy. must read book."

  "I've been reading this series by Graham McNeill for a long time, so of course I was going to pick up the next book in it. As always, this book is action packed, and carries your favourite characters forward through this chilling adventure. I like the way McNeill writes characters; he does a great job of building them up to make their decisions believable and understandable. I've never felt like his characters were just doing things arbitrarily, and it works well to drive the plot forward in interesting ways. This wasn't my absolute favourite book in the series, but it's a really solid read, and I would recommend it to anybody who is a fan of the series for sure. If you've never read any of his books though, definitely start with number one!"

  "After reading The Windup Girl, I was really excited to read other works by Paolo Bacigalupi. Unlike most reviewers, I didn't think this one was all that bad. It's true that Windup Girl may end up being a one-hit wonder, but I think people are being unnecessarily harsh on The Water Knife because they're trying to measure it against it. Instead they should appreciate it for what it is, which is a great novel on its own."

  "Sci-fi with dystopian worlds are some of my favorite reading material. Lost in Arcadia is almost a bandwagon book that doesn't really provide anything someone who avidly reads the genre hasn't read before. The writing is only just ok and the plot is basically if Stranger Things met Skyrim/Fallout. The story was just so all over the place, I hard a hard time keeping up, or interest in reading for that matter."

It is full of great storyline and is just plain amazing. This was a good book for summer reading. It has a perfect mix of suspense, bravery, courge, frienship, and exciting little details that make me want to read mlre!"

I want to live in a bubble and know that the world our kids live in is not filled with drugs and sex, but I do appreciate that this book keeps those aspects real. Thankfully, it was not the entire focus. I enjoyed reading Dean's take on a world gone mad, and the entire group of kids working together was inspiring to read."

  "This series has been compared to George R.R. Martin's Game Of Thrones. It's an excellent fantasy thriller that includes drama and romance. It's a New York Time Number One Bestseller. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, then you're going to definitely be into this book. It's written for the young adult genre, but I think it's an enjoyable series for anyone."

The original was great and this follow up didn't disappoint. The stories can be complicated and heartbreaking but there is always an element of hope in them. Great series overall."

  "Uglies, the first book in a trilogy, is considered one of the best young adult dystopian novels. It is one of the first dystopian novels that I ever read. It is an interesting story for young girls as it focuses on beauty, much of what is on young adult's minds. The book features a strong story line on beauty, friendship and betrayal."

  "This is a pretty short book that will draw readers in and hold them until the end. It's about a teenager who is earning a living carrying goods beneath a city. The main character builds a life as he goes along. I think the world-building in this book is also very intriguing and sets a great backdrop for the story."

  "This looks to be great for a young adult age range. The content of the plot also seems to focus on a story similar in tone and direction to The Hunger Games books, set in a similarly dystopian future society. User reviews are very positive, and it appears to be an extremely popular pick as well."

  "Finally a book that's both fast paced and bothers to world build. Plus this book pushes boundaries and tries to do new things and they all work, a dystopia caused by magic, LGBT protagonist, and a book not trying to set up and endless series of increasingly clunky sequels."
