This started very slow. Very. Most of the book were the kids in government detention being studied while much more exciting things happen outside. I had to chuckle on how fast scientific discoveries were made. The ending was better ... some excitement at least. The teens still whiney. Writing still solid. Rated C- [2 stars].
I'll go right into the final book Thrive.

Thrive certainly has non-stop action from page one. It reads better if you just go-with-the-flow. Don't analyze it. Don't pause, just read it through. It's less painful that way. What the author has these teens do is nothing short of ... I'm at a loss of words. Solid writing. Rated C [3 stars].
