New twist to the classic dystopians
Trigger Warning: Graphic gore, death, suicidal thoughts, torture.
When Rebecca approached me about reading A Touch of Death, I have to admit I was a little apprehensive. Dystopian is one of those genres that has been so overly saturated that nothing seems to be fresh. Luckily, my apprehension was unwarranted.
A Touch of Death is one of those books that will grab you the second you start reading it. This dystopian sci-fi novel grabbed me almost instantly. The plot was exciting and gave us a nice twist to the classic dystopian books. I liked all of the elements present, and they seemed to work pretty well together.
The main characters Kitty & Nate, were fascinating. I liked seeing how they interacted, and I loved the bit of bickering too. It did take me some time to warm up to both characters. I never seemed to connect to either of them, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book. The relationships in the book were interesting to watch evolve, and I liked seeing how both Kitty & Nate changed throughout the book.
All in all, I enjoyed the book. I would have liked to connect more with the characters, but this was a solid 4 star read for me!

An Interesting Film
I really enjoyed this film, in was interesting and in depth. Eli travels west, protecting something very valuable. A dystopian future in which humanity is not painted in the best light, but intricately shows the power of one simple book, a text that's message was lost in the old world. A great movie, would definitely watch again.

Great read. Well written with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This is not your typical romance or dystopian story. I loved that there is Opal's POV and Aecker's POV. You can understand the characters a bit more when it's like that. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Will she, won’t she, who cares
I’ve read a lot of dystopian society and this one didn’t do it for me. Granted, I read it a while ago, but it’s always stuck with me as a flop for the genre. The world isn’t compelling and the main conflict is which boy do I want to be with: mystery or certainty.

Story
I sat through it.
It's hard to nail down what was wrong. I actually liked the casting. And dystopian future movies are right up my alley. But i just didn't enjoy this one. I want to watch it again to try to figure out where it lost me. But i am not looking forward to that... So stay tuned?

My absolute favourite series at the moment! Despite the dystopian setting it is scary how real the problems portrayed can seem and how possible the world feels! This is the only time I will probably ever say this but I much prefer the TV series than the book, not to say it’s a bad book, but that the show is that’s good!

Questions, questions. Where's Evan? What happened to the camp? Ben and Cassie? Cassie and Evan? Will anyone get their real name back? Where are they going?
A gripping read with a scifi and dystopian feel. I had no idea cover to cover who to trust, who were good guys and bad guys. So much potential going into the next book.
