Review - No Spoilers
ACID is Emma Pass's début novel and boy was it a good read. I absolutely loved every thing about this book and there is little to complain about. The cover is awesome and it really shows our main character's personality - Jenna - well. During school while I was reading it, so many people kept coming up to me and asking what I was reading so I had a great time convincing people to read it.
I couldn't tell what the genre for this book was so I'm just going to say Science Fiction/Dystopia so if you like those two genres then you'll love this book. Also if you like a good fast paced, action novel then this is definitely the book for you. The only issue I had was that the characters were a little flat and I would of liked to have more character development for a few characters. One thing I did like was that Romance wasn't a huge part of the story. The author kept it reasonable and realistic.
The concept and story-line were quite interesting. They're not completely unique but the story still held individuality to it. I really liked the layout of the book because throughout the book it would have these reports by ACID which was really fun to read. It was like reading a newspaper and it made the story even more real and made it feel like it had it's own history.
The protagonist, Jenna was an awesome character. She was badass and she knows how to defend herself. In know way is she weak but sometimes she can rush into situations without thinking. I loved her personality and she was such a 'tell-it-how-it-is' sort of person who takes no sh*t for anyone. She was definitely a strong heroine and all I can really say is, Katniss you better watch out.
It's a well paced novel but so much happens that it feels really fast. The plot twists left my mind reeling and I couldn't put the book down. It's a really quick read which you would enjoy on the weekend of holidays and it's only about 400 pages. Overall I really loved it, and I think you should definitely go and read it. You'll love the world that Emma Pass so creatively built up and you'll finish it in no time.
I give it:
