Gone - Michael Grant
SYNOPSIS:
In a flash, your life can change forever.
Something bizarre has happened in the town of San Perdido. In a flash,
everyone over the age of fourteen has disappeared. Poof. Gone. A strange
impenetrable force field encircles the town, and as the stranded kids
struggle to survive on their own, they discover that some of them are
developing new talents-unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers-that grow
stronger by the day. And unfortunately, not all the kids with these
new-found powers are good.

“This intense, marvelously plotted, paced, and characterized story will
immediately garner comparisons to Lord of the Flies, or even the
long-playing world shifts of Stephen King, with just a dash of X-Men for
good measure. A potent mix of action and thoughtfulness-centered around good
and evil, courage and cowardice-renders this a tour-de-force that will leave
readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless. Grant’s novel is
presumably the first in a series, and while many will want to scream when
they find out the end is not the end, they’ll be glad there’s more in
store.” …… review

Now for my review - and MD’s - ——- WONDERFUL! This book is awesome. Neither of us could put it down. I won’t give it away, but I wasn’t disappointed with any of it. Great book.

I loved the book! Aboslutly loved it! I couldnt put it down and it is most definately going on my favorite books list, but i have a suggestion and a question.
Suggestion: Could you make the romace in the novels more profound? I’m really fond of Astrid and Sams relationship and also other relationships in the books and would like to know more about how they are advancing as couples.
Question: Can you please release the books quicker? A year is a very long time to wait. Even 10 months would be better than a year.
Mr. Grant would you please respond to my comment on this website or at my email: alexisrowe08@yahoo.com
Thanks

I completely adored this book. I couldn’t put it down and was done in only four or five days (I can’t remember). I can’t wait until the second book comes out. This should be made into a movie.

I think this book is amazing, and would do really well as a movie, too. What a ride! Can’t wait for the next one!

This book was awesome. I finished it in 2 days. But i think that there needs to be alot more info with Astrid and Sam. Maybe even deeper, but either way, alot more. Please release the next book early! Next year is a long time from now!
