Review: Getting to know these characters was a treat!

I have been on a dystopian novel kick lately and I recently read System of Fear, a fine example of the genre.System of Fear is about a group of teenagers who get thrown into a situation that is bigger than most people think they are. The teenagers are pretty unambitious about anything but partying and napping until their friend needs them to stop his execution.Nick Sand has written a gritty and realistic novel that is impossible to put down. Getting to know the characters in this book was a real treat and the ending was such a surprise.I grew up reading Young Adult novels and some of them were not great. They had cookie cutter characters that solved “tough” problems like who to date by the end of the last chapter. I wish books like this one was around back then. Books like this that have teenagers in them that are real people with real problems.  I am just glad I can enjoy these books now.  Nick Sand will be one that I watch for in the future.
