Lies (Gone #3)Lies by Michael Grant

Lies (Gone, #3)Synopsis

It's been seven months since all the adults disappeared. Gone.

It happens in one night. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach; and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. But Drake is dead. Sam and Caine defeated him along with the Darkness—or so they thought.

As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid against the Town Council; the Human Crew versus the mutants; and Sam against Drake, who is back from the dead and ready to finish where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumors are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ. Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?


My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Well if this series can get any more ridiculous, I will be shocked. Seriously? Orsay is now a prophet and can see through the FAYZ wall. While that may be okay, (and preposterous as well), why is no one suspicious of her protector? Where did she come from? From the beginning I knew almost everything that was gonna happen in this book. Why? Well the title gave it all away. Same with the other books in this series. I guess it's supposed to be a small hint, only for me it rips the plot right open.

What I enjoyed most from this book is Astrid's downfall. She's so retarded in her genius-ness. On the other hand it was heartbreaking watching Sam. I genuinely like Sam, even though he's stupid and has no idea what he's doing. Still, I want him to find his happy ending. Not much else to say here, except the HC finally got what was coming to them.
