Shortly after the world-changing events of Gone (2008) and Hunger (2009), the young residents of the FAYZ face ominous new threats, including a death-obsessed cult leader and the resurrection of a buried girl. And remember Drake the Whip Hand? Yeah, he might be back, too. Grant continues to hurtle through an endlessly fascinating (and increasingly grim) story line; his chief achievement, though, is how the X-Menâstyle powers of his cast never overwhelm the mournful realization that their world is slowly degenerating into brutality. The vast array of characters will challenge newcomers; fans, though, will go bonkers. Copyright 2010 Booklist Reviews. - Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2013 March #2
We've come a long way from Gone (2008). The emaciated children still plod through their days locked beneath the dome. All the food is nearly gone, and they have little energy to repel the unknown Darkness that besets them. The gaiaphage inhabiting Diana's unborn baby growing at an alarming rate is always hungry, and it is determined to destroy everyone in the FAYZ, especially those who have tried to resist. Making matters worse, the veil that shrouded the dome has liftedâparents and gawking TV reporters can now watch the carnage as it transpires over the last 88 hours and 39 minutes of life (and death). Will someone or something be strong enough to obliterate the gaiaphage? And, if anyone lives, what will happen to them on the outside? In four separate "Aftermath" chapters, Grant sorts out who's left and what kind of future awaits them. Readers dying for this series ender will be rewarded by Grant's characteristic nonstop action. He keeps readers where he's always had themâon the edge of their seatsâuntil the very end. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The Gone books have been one of the most dependable YA series in recent history. Advertising and attention will spikeâprobably significantlyâfor this final battle. Copyright 2012 Booklist Reviews. - Horn Book Guide Reviews : Horn Book Guide Reviews 2010 Fall
In this sequel to Gone and Hunger, Sam seems to be the only mutant capable of moral integrity--or is he? Short, choppy sentences drive the very fast-moving plot of this near-future post-apocalyptic-meets-comic-book-video-game fantasy complete with graphic violence, death, and cannibalism. Multiple points of view add some confusion. Copyright 2010 Horn Book Guide Reviews. - Horn Book Guide Reviews : Horn Book Guide Reviews 2013 Fall
In this gory conclusion to the Gone series, it's unclear whether any of the kids will be left alive once the dome that has enclosed them through the previous five volumes is finally gone; certainly none will survive unscathed. While this novel will be irresistible for series fans, newcomers will need to catch up before diving in; characters remain two-dimensional. - Kirkus Reviews : Kirkus Reviews 2013 March #2
With the world outside the FAYZ in sight and stakes rising, characters take drastic actions for survival and redemption. As the barrier has become clear, the FAYZ kids gain an audience, creating anxiety about performance as they worry about how they will be perceived by the adults in the normal world. Kids now communicating with their parents and the media have renewed hope that the end of the FAYZ is near, and they act accordingly. Others deduce that Gaia is up to something big, the endgame, now that the gaiaphage has taken a human form. They restructure leadership so Sam and Caine can team up to try to stop Gaia before it's too late. Sure enough, Gaia can feel little Pete weakening without his physical form and plans to doom the human race once Pete fades enough for the barrier to fall. But first Gaia must prevent Pete from taking a physical form again by trying to slaughter his potential hosts--the FAYZ kids. However, Gaia must kill judiciously, as the powered kids' link to the gaiaphage is revealed and explained. The answers to the FAYZ mysteries sometimes come in less-than-graceful exposition, but dedicated series readers will be more concerned with satisfying their curiosity. Multiple chapters of aftermath wrap up the series better than an epilogue could. A bloody, action-packed reward for the series' loyal fans.

Nearly a year after it all began but only two days after the world could see inside, life in the FAYZ continues on a downward spiral. Now that the dome is transparent, trying to communicate with parents and watching a jumbo television screen are distracting kids from their everyday obligations. Soon the threat of starvation grows equal to the fear of destruction by the monster child Gaia. Staying alive against the odds has never been easy, but with hope for an end in sight, the pressure intensifies. Everyone in the FAYZ knows survival is far from guaranteed, for anyone As a series finale, this book is more than satisfyingâit is epic. With the first chapter starting a countdown of just a little over three days, the tension of wondering how it will all end kicks in on the first page and does not let go. Horrific, tragic, and brilliantly kind moments alternate, keeping readers unsettled and desperate to know what happens next. Longtime fans should be prepared but will still feel the loss of characters they have come to know and love, or love to hate. The good news? Those lingering questions driving dedicated readers mad are truly answered, including how the protective dome was created and what elements brought the gaiaphage into existence. The only cautionary note is due to violence and sexual scenes, making this most appropriate for emotionally mature or older teens. This is a fabulous series from start to finish, particularly for the guys.âStacy Hayman 5Q 5PÂ J S Copyright 2011 Voya Reviews.
