WOOOOOOW, well the only reason i picked up this book was because it said on the back that it was good for people who loved Hunger Games (and I MORE THAN LOVE HG). 
 But it amazed me so much, this book was just WOW. It's neeearly as good as hunger games, which is a HUGE statement coming from me. 
 The plot is fantastic, because it has light moments mixed in with the quite dark story, and many places made me actually laugh out loud. I think Thomas, the main character, is an amazing character, and alot of girls would love him to be real (i certainly do!). The story is so original, I don't even know how the author could possibly come up with a plot so far fetched, yet still familiar. There was one bit, not revealing what happened, that made the tears come pretty hard, and there were also bits that made me close my eyes to take it in, bits that made me gulp it was so scary. 
 A few times i suddenly realised my face was literally buried in the book because i had gotten so into it and was reading feverishly. 
 Anyway, pretty amazing, i have to say, and im so glad i found this, because all my fave series' have now finished (HP HG & VA), and i now once again have a book to look forward to (the next in this series). I think this is going to be up there with the favourites, and maybe eventually a phenomenon like Hunger Games.
