I'm more than halfway through and I can't put it down. I would recommend anyone that decides to take a leap of faith on books from the video game genre this one would be it--it reads more like a book that a video game was inspired from and not the other way around. I know it sounds counter intuitive but I would recommend watching the "Uprising Trailer" at [....] or on [....] because it enhances the richness of this world.

Maybe all that should be in a second book, one that explains more about political situation before the asteroid hit Earth and a more deeper look at Raine's life. Another part of the book should talk about how The Authority became The...Read more

This book was very enjoyable. I'm the kind of person who just likes to read "fun" books, and this book was definitely fun. I read about half of this book while drinking a beer by the pool. If you are looking for a life changing book, go find something that Oprah recommends.
