Re: Gone series by Michael Grant

Oh god I think it's terrible. The first book had potential, but holy crap I did not care one iota for...Sam? I don't know. It was just loaded with a bunch of done themes and stories.

Really? I quite liked it because all the characters were genuinely flawed. And most of them did act like teenagers. I mean, how many times does a hero of that age say "Sorry. I'm 16. I don't know what I'm doing and I can't do this."

But to each their own. Sam isn't very interesting, I agree, I just really like the whole idea of the dome. (And tbh, I'm not a very empathic person, so having to care doesn't really register for me).

The premise is really interesting and has it's moments, I agree. And I actually liked a lot of the secondary characters more than Astrid and Sam. Uh...Lana(?), Emilio, Diana, Brianna...I think that was them? Anyway, I remember liking them in the first and second books quite a bit. I just couldn't stand the main characters.

Yeah, the last few books had more side character stuff, they were better.

Ugh. Astrid. Righteous religious people, can we not?

Sam and Astrid are both really bland, but I love all the side characters.
In the later books the POV character changes enough that Sam is no longer the most in focus protagonist, at least.
