This book is the best one I have ever read. It is instantly gripping and just gets better the more you read. The characters aren't just 3 dimensional, they are like 12 dimensional. It gets a little gruesome in all the sequels, so fair…

Sean221 I really liked your review and becuase it seems to sum up the book and give a good age suggestion for me, I will read it. Honestly, I had seen this book series on the self many times, but I just didn't know what it was about. I…

Gone is an intriguing thriller, where out of nowhere everyone disappears -- except for kids 14 and under. There is not a single adult, as well as no phones, no internet, and no TV. Before the adults disappeared they could have been driving…

I loved this book. It was thrilling and captavating. It's one of those books that is hard to put down. I would stay up late reading. After the third book though I felt like I was getting bored. I really recommend the first book.

Gone is an epic YA genre mashup that will definitely make you not want to put the book down until you finish it. To some, 558 pages sounds like a lot, but once you dive into the storyline, it goes by so fast. It's intense from start to…

First read this series when I was younger and loved it, reread it again now and loved it again! I feel as though I got a lot more out of it now, although it was still amazing at a younger age. One thing people should know before reading…
