I had started to watch the television series of this book and then I found out it was a book and I was like "hello, you need to get cracking one that!" And that is exactly what I did. I started to read The 100 novel and I was not disappointed. However, the book and show are so different, it's a wonder they are both the same. (view spoiler)[This novel is told in third person point of view, but it tells the story of four different characters with each chapter alternating which characters story we learn about. What I really enjoyed about this book was the flash backs of the characters life. Kass Morgan did such a fantastic job of doing this, I was blown away. She made it such a smooth transition from the present to the past and I really liked that. With each character, they all had different backgrounds and reasons for why they did the things they did. There would be times, throughout the book, where I would question whether or not I liked this character or not, then I would learn of their history and I would understand them. This novel is set in around the year of 2150, where Earth has become unlivable for humans because of radiation exposure, so what we think is the last of humanity lives in space on The Colony. At the end of the book, we find out that there are other humans. The Colony is running out of air, so the Chancellor and the other leaders of The Colony decide to send 100 prisoners, people who have committed the smallest of crimes are sent into confinement, to Earth to test if it is livable again. The novel tells the story of how the 100 is dealing with being on Earth. However, one of the 100 escapes the drop ship being sent to Earth and we get to see her story play out on The Colony, in space. It is all very fascinating and intriguing when it's put together. (hide spoiler)] Kass Morgan created fantastic characters that I would love to learn more about and cannot wait to dive into the next book in the series. 
 HAPPY READINGS!!!
