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
I love this book as it is very adventurous and is an amazing page turner. It also relates to modern times when it talks about, racism, which is a major problem in the world today. It also relates to the fact that many people think that different groups or religions have to be separated from each other, or else there will be tension and controversy between the two groups. Through out this whole book I was gripped as every sentence I read had me gripped on with tension. I recommend this book to any one who loves adventure and likes cliff hangers
Loved the story line. it is my favourite book so far. it really captured me. Loved the ending.
This book is immersive and enigmatical in almost every way possible. It always keeps you surprised and shows the true meaning of a meaningful book.
Overall I liked this book as it quite summed up modern society as the separation comes in the form of racism
It was an ok book but had a bad ending.
