The young cast are brilliant (0 more)
Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts are too cheese (0 more)
A great way to gain weight from cheese
This is by no means a bad film in fact it's a very good film, with stellar performances from the young cast the only thing that let's it down is the over the top mushiness from the main adult stars ,I left the cinema feeling like I gain 2 stone from all the cheese ,again not as good as the book but it was well worth the hr and half to watch it

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This was part of a young adult dystopian box set and I have to say that I am glad that I started with this book. I really enjoyed it.

This was an extremely quick read that kept me captivated for hours. I found myself invested in the characters. This novel is not your typical dystopian book. It deals with mind readers and a society that is scared of evolution. The fact that this was not a stereotypical dystopian really surprised me. I liked the characters and I liked the content. I'm glad that I was able to sit down and take time to read this young adult novel.

Ultimately, I enjoyed this novel. I will definitely continue on in the series and I am excited to read the rest of the box set.

This young adult novel fills in the blanks about what Jyn was doing for the years involving Saw and her journey to becoming a rebel, like the title suggests. The book had a fairly good pace, and was easy to read. I liked Revis' development of Jyn's character, and I think it was spot on. Overall, a good addition to the new Star Wars Canon.

I got this free on the Amazon Kindle store so figured I might as well give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. It had elements of sci-fi but the usual Young adult genre fit right in. I enjoyed learning about all the characters and finished this book rather quickly. I am now on the second and there are 2 more after that!

I actually really enjoyed the first book in this series. It’s got decent world building and character development. It suffers a bit from the trend to make absolutely every young adult sci-fi/fantasy novel into a series, which means you’ll be left hanging a bit at the end. Gotta keep you coming back for more.

Overall, the first book gave me high hopes for the series.
