Wither by Lauren DeStefano
5.0
Noticed these books have been getting a lot of negative reviews well lets bring some balance to this shall we? Yeah straight off the bat this book gets a 4.5 stars from me because if you haven't noticed I binge read this book and I enjoyed it and yes it was a new take on the dystopian genre the story goes like this:
A botched attempt to create the perfect human race means that men die at 25, and woman die at 20. Young girls are being abducted and forced into polygamous marriages in a desperate attempt to keep humanity ahead of the disease that threatens to eradicate it.
I enjoyed this book so much I did a few binge reading sessions yeah another case of me finishing a book in two days yeah I found this a breeze to read it gets straight to the point and considering the fact I've never read anything by this author I was pleasantly surprised and I think the opening to this book had a lot to do with me liking it because to me this book was like a short movie and at the we're treated with a short story called "The First Bride" and it's worth checking out as we get a glimpse from one of the side characters in the main story before the events of this book and I felt that added to this story but another reason I liked this book was because the way it deals with dark topics is really well executed and I'll be moving onto book two Fever now.
In short I feel these books are underrated and don't let the negative reviews affect you getting these books they are good and I feel these books are underrated and I'd say they fall between New Adult & YA due to the subjects mentioned.
Excuse my massive gush on this book but hey I loved it so yeah.
