oh that confoundingly ambiguous ending. true or not? i don't think it made me believe in god, but more so the breadth of human invention, instinct, and ingenuity. but beautiful story, well told.
the jump in years was confusing at first. good start to the next part of this series.

I like this book more than I thought I would, and it certainly was much better in the second half than the first. In some ways, standard fantasy, but in other ways surprisingly original. In fact, the book surprised me more than once. Not with any dramatic twists, but how sometimes situations came to a very realistic, unsatisfying conclusion. The "magic" of the world is cool, and I like that it didn't bog down in unnecessary explanations of how it works. The Andat character, Seedless, is wonderfully realized. Overall I found the characters very human and believable.
I really liked the storyline. Very intriguing. Definitely not a fan of the fake swearing.
Mystirous!
I listened to the audio version. I enjoyed this book and its upbeat ending. A little corny and that was great for me riding in the car.

This book was cute, romantic and inspiring and magical. But I wish for a better ending, detailed and longer ending.

Original review posted on Layers of Thought. A young adult dystopian that sounds so realistic in the audio version that it’s frightening. Funny and heartbreaking, it will help readers think about what our world could become if capitalistic advertising is allowed to run wild in combination with technology. About: It appears that Titus is a regular teenager, the only difference is that in his world everyone has a “feed” implanted in their brain. It transmits constant personalized ads into their vision and auditory senses, including a way to keep in constant contact with anyone at anytime. It’s responsible for the fact that actual reading has become a thing of the past, since all communications are voice and thought activated via the “feed”. Sadly, also in this world the oceans are toxic, sterile, and no fish exist all in response to their rampant consumerism. It's all too normal for Titus and his friends. As they party, take trips to the moon, and ingest the occasional mind altering substance, they lead their “normal lives” with a “party on attitude”. However, this world view is about to change when Titus meets a girl named Violet who is very different from anyone he knows. He begins to realize that, along with all the teen fun and games, there is an underlying angst and horror which they are all trying desperately to ignore and marginalize. Thoughts: I enjoyed listening to this book in audio, with its well done and interesting sound effects. Told in first person by Titus, it’s coupled with their future version of “teen speak”. I dare you not to go around calling friends and family members “Unit” instead of “Dude” or other current young adult colloquialism. There was a romantic element to the story which is told from the guy’s perspective which I enjoyed. With a realistic ending that is not your “drive into the sunset” cliché. There are a good number of interesting science based elements in addition to the implant – including cloning and hover cars, however the best bit is how the actual feed sounds in this audio version that I think is particularly brilliant. I enjoyed this novel in audio and would recommend it for any teen (adult too) who enjoys a good dystopian. I could even imagine using the written version within the classroom as a modern day trade out for 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, or perhaps in tandem with required high school readings; giving a fresher perspective to the classics. I give this audio version a 4 stars, since in addition to the author’s creative technological ideas which are a key to the book, the reader and audio producer have also contributed to create a darkly funny and all to realistic “listen”.

I think it was a great book and I recommend this to anyone who loves adventure books, like me. It also has a lot of tension, so I was on the edge of my seat for half the book

While I enjoyed this, it is another book that I read when I was too young to really understand it fully. But my mother read it before me, and so I picked it up because she said it was good. It was hard to put down, but I will have to re-read it to better appreciate what it has to offer.
