The Young World | Chris Weitz
7 posts | 15 read | 10 to read
"Chris Weitz has made a beautiful transition from writing and directing films to novels. The Young World is populated with characters you won't forget and a story as fresh and urgent as Divergent."--James Patterson, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Maximum Ride. Welcome to New York, a city ruled by teens. After a mysterious Sickness wipes out the rest of the population, the young survivors assemble into tightly run tribes. Jefferson, the reluctant leader of the Washington Square tribe, and Donna, the girl he's secretly in love with, have carved out a precarious existence among the chaos. But when a fellow tribe member discovers a clue that may hold the cure for the Sickness, five teens set out on a life-altering road trip, exchanging gunfire with enemy gangs, escaping cults and militias, braving the wilds of the subway--all in order to save humankind. This first novel from acclaimed film writer/director Chris Weitz is the heart-stopping debut of an action-packed trilogy.

If there was an illness that spared only tweens and teens, I could see all of these things happening. I have two kids in middle school. Too real. Horrifying.

Now that I finally have my own copy I can give this book a read once I'm finished with the book I'm currently reading

I'm not sure why I bothered finishing this one. It never got any better and the ending is flat. I'd say it seems like a setup for a sequel, but doesn't appear to be one planned and in this case, that's a good thing.

StaceyKondla There is a sequel called The New Order and book 3 is due out next week. Glad I didn't bother with one... 8y
kgriffith Just found that when I dug a little deeper, thanks for the tip! And yeah, as much of a completist as I normally am, this is one to abandon. 8y

I really want to appreciate the ways that this dystopian YA story is unique, but between how the primary female character is written and how she's narrated, I find myself cringing, rolling my eyes, and thinking, "I kind of wish I had read instead of listened, but even then.... Meh."

I'm super excited to listen to this. It's part of the summer's audiobook program for teens. I found this gem of a site a week after the summer started. You get 2 free audiobooks each week. www.audiobooksync.com I was lucky enough to only miss out on week 1 & 6. So far I've got 14 new audio books!!!
