Roman Bucyk had decided to give up baseball for the right far, the war across the Atlantic Ocean, World War II. However, he does not end up in Europe. His assignment is the African deserts of Tunisia in a tank with his crew.
When I saw this in the Book Fair, I knew I had to buy it. The Vietnam War books Chris Lynch did were exceptional, and I knew this would probably match them. It did. I love his wry humor as the war goes on. The battle scenes are still as gruesome and heart-wrenching as the Vietnam War series, but maybe a little less of the scenes. Lynch's story that will take you inside of a tank with all of its claustrophobia and camaraderie.

What if your whole life was planned out for you? Your meals, your education, your job, even your future husband or wife. This is the Society Cassia is a part of it, and she never questions their choices. She is thrilled when she learns her match will be her best friend, Xander. Then there is a glitch, and on the card to tell her about Xander, there is another boy, Ky.
I could not get into this book. I even tried reading the rest of the series and found it did not get better. There were moments of excitement and suspense, but they seemed to be few and far between. It was mostly about the love triangle and the Plague, but it did not seem to have the overarching appeal of like a Hunger Games or the intricacies of a Divergent. I wanted it to be something more than what it was. **Spoiler Alert: This book is a sequel.**
Lena has lost everything. Her life on the other side of the fence, her family, and the man she loved. How in the world would she survive in a world where every day is a struggle to find food? And what about her new assignment to go back to her old life? I actually finished this book some time ago, but I have not had the chance to review it. After Delirium, I really was not excited about this series, but I decided to give Pandemonium a chance. It was well worth it. This gives Lena so much more depth than a girl obsessed with a boy. The beginning is slow, but get past the first few chapters, and you won't be disappointed. |
