Recommended for fans of dystopia and light YA sci-fi. It's one of those mind-blowing ideas that makes you stop and think. There are surprise twists and some danger and even a hint of romance though that is not the focus of this book.Īt the end, all I could think was wow! I keep comparing this to The Matrix in my mind. The author does a fantastic job of giving you just enough that your satisfied but you still want more. Kyle and his 3 companions try to figure out what the heck is going on and why it's happening.
An event occurs leaving only Kyle and 3 other people normal while the rest of his town is somehow changed. A teenager living in what I presume to be current day (or close enough).

I'm finding it hard to write a review that won't give anything away. Wow! What an original idea for a dystopian novel! Very well done! I received a copy of the sequel for review and so read this one in preparation.
