Jeanie WaudbyÆs first novel,áô One of Usö is a pacey thriller which will appeal to those who enjoy books with a dystopian setting. It is set in a society where there are two groups, the Citizens and The Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood wear hoodies, the girls have to have long hair and wear long skirts, so they are easily identifiable from Citizens. The Brotherhood often resort to terrorist methods and the book opens with a bomb attack on a station. K is rescued from the attack and finds herself being recruited as a spy for the Citizens. She has to infiltrate a Brotherhood school to find out who is responsible for the attacks. As she gets to know the pupils there, she begins to question what she has been told. And then she discovers to her shock that everything is not as it seems
What an incredible book. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first but the twist at the end is very unexpected and I love how the author leaves this until the very end to keep you in suspense. Please read read read this book!
This book is brilliant as it has a very interesting twist. You would never expect what happens in the end. I love the part where K/Verity is escaping from Oscar her so called ‘friend’ at the end of the book.
This book was incredible and I read it within 7-8hours I completely agree with you Dan and Emily it was so suspenseful that I couldn’t put it down even on the coach to and from Scotland!
I loved the way it would take you down a suspenseful path and then change it into something that you were not expecting. It was a great book and I loved the suspense and mystery of it.
One of us is one of the most suspenseful books I have ever read. After witnessing a terrorist attack at the train station, Oskar, a “police” officer starts to talk to her. She is dragged into something she will never forget… This is a great book for the people who like fast paced action and sitting on the edge of their chairs! A great book that I recommend for anyone over the age of 9.
