Book review - The Darkest Minds(TDM#1)by Alexandra Bracken
Finished Read : October 2,2013
Compendious From Goodreads :
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.
When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.
When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

So,I was walking through my local library looking for something to read.Found The Darkest Minds....I remember one of the booktubers-that I watch-said this book was awesome.So,I decided to pick it up,since I had not found any other YA books to read.Mistake.Want me to spell it?M-I-S-T-A-K-E.Why?Because it was too awesome to put down.
Non-spoiler Book Review :
Awesome Book,Although the beginning was kind-of slow.It got more interesting towards the ending,but other than that,it was and still is an awesome book.It's hard to write a review without spoilers,but yea..Bear with me.Main character was nice-Stupid in the beginning,but she changed.Changed as in changed - good thing. We also met Liam and and his pack,which included very few people,and he was very awesome.Very very awesome.I will admit,that I dislike arguments,but that happens in all kinds of relationships right?Right.Well,I can't tell you who's with who or if there is going to be a relationship.but yea,I can't wait to read Never Fade.
JUMP TO TEASERS/QUOTES IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.THE SPOILER REVIEW IS AFTER THIS.
Warning - Spoiler!
Well,This time,I do not have a reading process.I didn't bother to mark any because I just wanted to enjoy the book.So,We'll just move on to the review and skip my process of reading this.
Spoiler Review :
Woah,Omg.We meet Clancy,Who is such a beeep.And back to Liam,It's funny how he mentions Harry.Hahaha.From 1D if you didn't get the joke.Anyways,Noooo.Ruby erases his memory at the end of the book.My question is if he forgot about Zu and Chubs.If he did,because Ruby made him forget,then she is a son of a gun.She deserves no-one.Seriously?She erasing his memory of them?So,fudging sad.Like,for realz?To be honest,if she did do that,then she deserves no-one.From the summary of Never Fade - She looks for Liam.Nope.Get away from him.NOW.It would be a surprise if she could put memories back into his mind,but until then,I doubt Liam would like her.Hahaha.And in the beginning,when Sam(I believe that's the girl's name)stood up for Ruby at the camp and she expects Ruby to back her up,Wtfudgsicles?Like seriously?You really expect her to stand up for you.You budged into it yourself.Hahaha.You're so funny.
(Spoiler this time)What I think about the characters :
- Ruby : Scary.She does have magical powers after all.
- Liam : Omg.Gah.I love him.Favorite guy character out of this book.
- Clancy : Omg,Seriously.He's just a rude little bloop.I can't believe he can freeze people though.Serioulsy?He's like the superior among the superior.I actually liked him in the beginning for some reason.
- Chubs : Why,did he die?Why?I liked him as a character no matter how much he was annoying to Ruby.
- Zu : Well,she left.Good bye.Hahaha.Nice character.I hate how she thinks she doesn't deserve what she gets,but later on in the camp,she knows she deserves it and wears it! :)
Teasers :
"Can you - uh - open the door?Just for a sec?"He sounded nervous enough to make me nervous.
"It's over," he said as we sat on either side of him. "It's all over."
Quotes :
Be cunning and full of tricks,and your people shall never be destroyed.
All the world will be your enemy,Prince with a Thousand Enemies and whenever they catch you,they will kill you.But first they must catch you, digger,listener,runner, prince with the swift warning.
