Relation Conducive To Books Lies (Gone #3)
It's been seven months since all the adults disappeared. Gone.It happens in one night. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach; and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. But Drake is dead. Sam and Caine defeated him along with the Darkness—or so they thought.
As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid against the Town Council; the Human Crew versus the mutants; and Sam against Drake, who is back from the dead and ready to finish where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumors are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ. Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?

Wow what a great idea it is to burn down your town as an act of rebellion! Also this whole connection between drake and Britney is SCREWED UP. Anyways this book was v strange, but still pretty good.I was wrong. Sam and Astrid are perfect for each other. Sam has that blind heroism and lack of thinking things through, while Astrid does nothing but analyze everything like it's a textbook she's studying. Sam is a hero, but a 15 year old one that can't take the stress that comes with it. Astrid has very little emotion or compassion, and pretty much just lectures everyone and wants them to do what she says. She wants Sam to back off of the Zil guy because the "council will take care of it".
Actual rating: 3,5 starsWhile I enjoyed more the previous installment, this one was really good too. I like the fact that they're focused in the problems they face, in the social aspect, rather than pushing some romance and lovey-dovey moments down my throat. Plus, the characters (all of them) have /real/ flaws, even the most powerful ones.

Plot: 2.5 starsCharacters: 4 starsWriting: 3.5 starsSci-fi Element: 3.5 starsEnding: 3 starsOverall: 3.3 starsThis series is getting weaker. After really enjoying the first two in the series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the third installment. But it just didn't add anything to the series, it was still well-written but I felt like the author was merely prolonging the story and not really moving the plot along. Maybe it's the old: longer series = more money, but that's just... crap.
Wow! Another greatly delivered book by Michael Grant. The 3rd installment of the GONE series is not to be missed. Just when Sam and his town have conquered hunger, Orsay is claimed to be able to see past the FAYZ wall. Lies? Unsure. Drake is rumoured to be back from the dead. Lies? Unsure. Brittney seem to be a tough little cookie who is not yet ready to give up her fight with Death yet. She is aslo rumoured to have returned. As if lies and rumours were not enough, Zil is teaming up with Caine
I could write so much about this book. About how this series is still awesome, the characters still engaging, the bad guys still terrifying, and the story still completely enthralling and compulsively readable, but you guys already know all that. Just add an extra dose of backstabbing and treachery and you have LIES , the newest, and possibly most satisfying of the series to come along yet.And while it doesn't completely outright say "Hey this is the answer to all the weird shit that's going
All right, the GONE Series is epic, and that fact is undeniable. Did I love LIES? Yes. Was it as good as the previous two? I'm not sure. One, I was expecting it to be a bit longer, and very disappointed when it ended so soon. Two, I really wish there had been a little more Diana and Caine moments, because they are the main reason I read these books, as pathetic as that sounds. Three, I wanted a better, more clear ending that explained a little more of what happened after Sanjit left the island
