 I am very sad to say I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did Across the Universe. 
 The main conflict was incredibly interesting. The ship has erupted into what is basically mutiny. Only it feels a lot of more serious and a lot more scary, then it ever has on stories that take place at sea. You can't maroon people in space. You can only kill them or send them out into the airless vaccumm that surrounds you. Neither sounds very pleasent. As a result I found people acted a lot more desperately and fought even harder for what they wanted. The result was lots of action. I love books with lots of action! They keep me hanging on until the last page. 
 Admist all this great action was Amy. And I can honestly say she is the sole reason I didn't like A Million Suns as much as Across the Universe. Amy drove me nuts. Plain and simple. I found her pretty flaky. We're supposed to believe that she's strong and rational but time after time she simply ran to Elder or just plain ran away when things got tough. None of which gave the impression she was strong at all. I also wondered why she was never the one pushing for democracy. Coming from our present day North American society I would think that would be prominent in her mind when she saw the state of disarray the ship was in. 
 I also never bought that she would forgive Elder so easily for unplugging her. Sure I knew she would forgive him eventually, but immediately seems like a stretch. She may never see her parents again, she's now forced to live on an isolated ship where everyone thinks she's a freak. She should be a little more angry that he was the cause of that. Maybe she's a bigger person than me. 
 Overall still a great read that I read in one sitting and the pages flew by as I tried to find out what happened. I can't believe how long I have to wait for the next book!! I only hope Amy improves as the story progresses.
