I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made my heart pound and it was intense. The book builds. It starts off slow and builds to a crescendo of action, revelations, drama, and more!! Ms. Hope did not hold back, and she made parts of the labor camp extremely realistic.I'd just warn some younger readers to beware of the violence. There were times it got pretty graphic, to the point where at 31 I felt nauseous, so while it's not a huuuuge part of the book, be ready for some extremely detailed spots that may be too much for some readers.Rory is a strong character, a character you can identify with. The plot is very intriguing, and when more books come out I'm hoping it will grow and expand on itself and gain more depth, with more explanations of the Selected, their history, more about how the world came to be the way it is, etc. I'd just like to see some more detailed explanations on the entire concept that this 1st book introduced. Other then that, this was an amazing book!I highly recommend this book to others, and am looking forward to reading more of The Selected series as it comes out!!
