2/5 Stars
B&N:
In the blink of an eye.
Everyone disappears.
Gone.
Everyone except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not a single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Gone, too, are the phones, internet, and television. There is no way to get help.
Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.
It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen and war is imminent.
The first in a breathtaking saga about teens battling each other and their darkest selves, gone is a page-turning thriller that will make you look at the world in a whole new way.
My Review:
I was very surprised that I did not enjoy this book that much. Everyone else has loved it. I figured out why I didn't like it. It was actually kind of painful to finish.

I gave it 2 stars because the concept is pretty neat.
You see, I'm a character driven type of person when reading. I need the characters to be so developed I feel like I actually know them. I need to care for them. These characters were not like that. Even the main character, Sam. I honestly did not care if he lived or died.
Will I read the rest of the series? I'm not sure yet. I own the 2nd one. But, still just not that sure.
