Well I found this book after i watched the movie but the book i can say is 10x better than the movie. The book has the same theme as the Hunger Games series with the after the world ends sort of type book. I really enjoyed it but when i got to the end i found out there is 4 in the series!Now i have to find them and read them too. Hopefully they will be as good as the first one

Very excellent read, vivid imagery and portrays a very accurate perspective from the eyes of someone who's never seen a candle, fire or a boat before. Thrilling for all ages (as I am 17 and I thoroughly enjoyed this) it is a great choice to keep you busy for a couple days.

It ends on a cliff hanger, so be warned.
