The Darkest Minds A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books

Love this book. I gotta say though.. Just like Hunger Games, divergent, Maze runner etc... I had to get passed the whole, kids killing kids.. adults killing kids thing. I'm not sure that's a good thing to "get over" because of how the kids are killed sometimes and treated-it's a bit brutal. This is going to be a movie in late 2018, so I started reading it. Now that I've read it, I might not be able to watch the movie depending on how true to the book it is. But that is just personal preference. If you are a parent, wondering if its okay for your kid to read, I would say definitely late teen. Its more violent than other YA books. I'm a parent and a teacher and I would save this book until they are a bit older. There's a lot of death, and a suggested/possible rape scene. No other sexual content so far, but lots of language from one character in book two.

If you want an excellent read, by a wonderful writer, this is the book. It definitely keeps your attention, has great character depth, and is a unique story. I'm on book two now.

The Darkest Minds A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books Reviews

A great series beginning with a uniquely developed world and enticing characters, WOW!! This bleak yet secretly, against all sorts of odds hopeful dystopian gem has been hyped to the umpteenth degree and frankly does not (completely) disappoint. Yes, the writing is not poetic (for the most part) and the Dystopian genre has been done...fried, refried, charred well done, over hard almost to the point of disgust. This opinion might be skewed a bit. My love-hate relationship with this genre is public knowledge, making me the unbiased, best suited person to review this....ANYWAY... the most stunningly poignant character development has been created here! It stands up and DEMANDS the plot not only acknowledge but revolve almost exclusively around these uncommonly rich/dynamic, three dimensional characters. These characters are so deep that they, along with some seriously interesting and creatively unique world development, are what makes this undertaking anything more than a generic YA Dystopian knockoff. I know that that observation sounds a bit obvious but I cannot stress enough how the interconnectedness of these characters coupled with their complexity made this novel. The unique and uncharacteristically immersive world development was, of course, necessary yet merely an accompaniment. Otherwise, Darkest Minds is one big road trip with damaged/misunderstood, subversive yet winning against all odds teenagers versus bad guy adults/corrupt government ad nauseum trope after trope chase scene on loop. I am tempted to give this less stars but I fell in love (hate where compelled), attached and fiercely invested in each and every character (secondary, tertiary and all).
The MC, and sole POV, Ruby was a tad annoying. This detracted immensely from my personal need for a kick @$$ heroine whom is also beautifully, yet not classically beautiful, humanly flawed. Her constant referring to herself as "a monster" and going along, falling in love so easily after being tortured for 6 of her most formative years was disconcerting (to say the least).
All in all this was a good read and what appears to be an excellent start to a much beloved series. Will I continue on to book #2 even though there is an extreme abundance of highly anticipated books on the scene right now, heck yeah?! I recommend you follow suit. This is fanatically revered and cherished by MANY of the Goodreads population. Go for it!!
I saw Amandla Stenberg in the movie's trailers and it's actually the only reason I decided to finally read this. I had a lot of expectations but the book kinda read all over the place. The reading flow reminded me of being in a car where the driver likes to randomly stomp on the brakes when you least expect it. The writing style wasn't something I'd ever want to go through again, which is a shame, because I actually REALLY LIKED the way she could turn such mundane moments into art. Simple things like describing that moment when you're watching rain run down the glass window is amazingly good. I love how she can bring out those small moments you don't really think about but can get lost in when it happens. It's because of those scenes that this is a three-star rating and not lower. I feel like a really good editor would have easily made this book amazing.

I'd recommend this because of Chubs, who was the only character I felt got the attention deserved to turn him into a really well-rounded, real, relatable and likable character. Even when he was rude or mean it was all for a reason and a really deep one that you could feel on so many levels. Oh, and the plot. Do it for the plot. Would I read the rest of the series? No, but I'm glad I did read this, because I met Chubs.
