    Maybe the best series ever
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2012*

This series was technically YA. Being 68 doesn't stop me from reading the good YA stuff despite it's penchant for romance. I thought that Gone was an excellent book. As the next book was released, I expected the "mid-series" weakness. Instead, I found that I liked the book even better. And so on through book 5, Fear which is even more adult and more breath-taking than it's predecessors.In principle, I hate that authors can't seem to tell a story in 250 pages anymore and that everything is a trilogy or more. Fear has made me change my mind, now I'm living in Fear that the next book will be the final one and I wqon't be able to find anything as good to read.I'm listing what I consider a few of my favorite books to give you a frame of reference for what I love. The tension, the pacing, the mind boggling imagination. If you liked these, you'll love this series. Let me add that the Gone series should be read in its correct order.Altered Carbon: A Takeshi Kovacs Novel (Takeshi Kovacs Novels)The Hunger GamesUglies (The Uglies)The Blade Itself (The First Law: Book One)So, really 5 stars for every book and for this incredible series. I see the author has a new series starting BZRK and I'll be buying it with confidence.

    It Just Gets BETTER!
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2012*

There is nothing more controlling and irrational than fear. You would think the kids in the FAYZ would have nothing left to fear after the gaiaphage, a kid with a whip hand, a girl who can make you think you are suffering your worst fears, murderous bugs the size of cars, and life without the adults who should be taking care of them, but they have never experienced real fear. In the fifth installment of Michael Grant's Gone Series, Fear, we get a taste of just how much terror is too much.Sam, Edilio, and Dekka have made as stable of a life as they can in the FAYZ. They moved to the lake where they have plenty of water and houseboats to hide on in case of an emergency. Caine is now calling himself King Caine and ruling with the madness he has become known for. But some alliances have changed. Quinn organizes the fishing for both camps, Albert (who was always out for himself) deals to both sides, and Diana, now pregnant, has left Caine to live with Sam and the others at the lake. But the most painful is Astrid's abandonment. She left Sam and everyone else who reminded her about how she sacrificed her little autistic brother Petey to stop the bugs from annihilating the kids at Perdido Beach. But oddly, even with the division, this is most stability the FAYZ has ever seen. That is, until the dome starts to go dark.The stain is slowly creeping up the dome and threatens to plunge the entire place into complete darkness. It takes everything Sam can do to keep the kids from panicking, but with the coyotes becoming desperate and Drake "Whip Hand" Merwin skulking about, there are reasons to be afraid of pure darkness. Sam can hang as many "Sammy Suns" (little orbs of light from his powers) as he wants, but it won't save hem from the crushing darkness. And now that Drake and the gaiaphage think Diana's baby is the key to giving the gaiaphage a body, there is more at risk than anyone can possibly understand. And that is only what is happening on the inside of the dome. On the outside? People are prepared to do unspeakable things to stop what they fear is inside from getting out. Even if that means sacrificing everyone inside the dome.Oh boy. Boy, oh boy. This series doesn't just age well like cheese, it transforms with each book into a mind-blowing experience where you find yourself asking, "How can Grant do that? Did he really just go there?! What, for the love of all that is holy, is happening?!" Five books in and this series simply doesn't get old. It doesn't get predictable. It knocks your socks off with each new installment. It is, quite simply, brilliant. Of course, the story does get darker with each new book, and Grant doesn't pull any punches with the kids in the FAYZ, but if I know anything about teenagers (and I certainly hope I do after ten years teaching in a high school), it is how much they appreciate an author who trusts his or her readers to experience a serious story. They like an author who doesn't hold back just because this is a young adult series. And most of all, they like a story that will shock them with every turn. Well, here it is!Last year, I had been telling a 9th grade student of mine about this series. He loves graphic novels, but doesn't read full length novels outside of literature class. I told him about the story and then the year continued. Then, at our Parents' Weekend, his mother tracked me down to tell me he devoured the first four books of this series. She told me these are the first books she had seen him actually enjoy reading, and she was thankful I had mentioned them to him, because, in her words, her son was now "a reader". It was amazing to hear that we had finally found a series of books he could enjoy at that level, but more importantly, Michael Grant made him a reader. If that isn't a solid endorsement for this groundbreaking series, I am not sure what is! So if you have a kid out there who just needs to find the right series to make them a reader, consider Gone. It might be just the thing that kid needs to become a book lover!

    Another wonderfully creepy book in the Gone series
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2012*

Trapped under a dome, separated from their parents and all other adults, the children of Perdido Beach have managed to somehow get through many challenges - illness, death, murder, betrayal, and more. But none of them are sure they can survive the latest - total Darkness. The Darkness is scary enough, but even scarier is the Gaiaphage who is going to use the situation and other events to become even stronger."Fear: A Gone Novel" is the fifth book in Michael Grant's Gone Series and while I confess there are times when I've thought the series has dragged on long enough by the end of this book I realized I don't want the series to end. By now readers who have read the entire series care about these characters (or hate some of them) and Grant uses this to his full advantage - he does not hesitate to kill characters off. In many ways, this seems like one of the gorier books in the series (although all of them were pretty gory). Grant gives readers their first extended look at life outside of the dome and this works brilliantly in several ways. For one thing, it shows how parents (and the government) react to what is going on. Even though there has been many deaths of characters I care about in the series, the scenes with the parents reminded me (again) that they are still children and many children won't be coming home (if they ever do make it home). Also, if they do make it home, Sam, Astrid, and the others will never be the same. The glimpses outside the dome also show what happened to the few children who managed to escape. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Diana but, to me at least, she is a sympathetic character in this book. Grant walks a fine line between horror and camp in a few scenes with Diana and her baby - it was almost humorous until you realize how brilliantly Grant portrays Diana's fragile state of mind."Fear: A Gone Novel" is another wonderfully creepy book in the Gone Series.
