This is the second book in the Gone series. In this book, the students have broken into two distinct groups again...the "bad" kids and the "good" kids. They are all starving after wasting a lot of the resources by being, well, kids!
This series is hard to read, with its theme of destruction and anarchy among children. The kids are running wild and the lack of adults has made some students step up and act better, while a lot of kids use the wildness of the times to act evil. There are crazy mobs and beatings and thoughts of cannibalism. It's not a light read, by any means. But it's good in a Stephen King way. My only complaint is that the books are so long and there are supposed to be 7 total in the series. Can I really handle reading 600 more pages...5 more times??
