An intense, creepily realistic young adult novel that poses the question: what wouldn't the government do to stay in power and keep the streets safe(er)? In this case, they would not stop at locking away 100 innocent (?) teens, and brainwashing them. But even more captivating, there is much more going on behind the scenes than just that. This is a great novel (especially for conspiracy theorists) and one which I genuinely did not want to put down. I've read some people complaining that theThe concept appealed to me, but I felt more could have been done with this narrative. I was half way through the book and the pace hadnt picked up, and the story hadnt progressed enough for my liking. I was waiting for something to happen.Nowhere is written in third person, but regularly switches perspective between a number of characters. This allowed insight into both the captors and the captives. I liked Ryans character because he felt the most rounded out of the bunch. I didnt feel
I gave this book 3 1/2 stars. It's a good book. It reminded me a bit of The Maze Runner at times and I actually picked it up to see how much alike it would be. The plot is really very similar as well as some details.

Great book but a bit confusing.
This book had potential, I'll say that. I could not stop reading it, and it was a nice, quick read, finished it in an afternoon. But I really wish the characters were more developed, I mean, I wanted to root for them and ship them, but I really didn't know much about them. There were few hints as to their physical appearances, which is always disappointing, and they didn't have any unique quirks or fears or strong qualities which could endear them. I feel the whole time I was reading, I was
Children are kidnapped off the streets and put into a remote facility telling them they are offenders of crimes not actually committed. The sinister reason behind it is their ability to influence events through unconsciously manipulating probability. Some of the kids will not take it lying down. Descriptions are few if any, character development is simply missing. Other than that the story may appeal to non-discriminating fans of Maze Runner or Hunger Games.
