The Thousandth Floor (The Thousandth Floor #1)

This book was all drama, but it didn\’t seem immature like a lot of other teen dramas. It was a fun read most of the time, and pretty fast paced. There was a point in the middle of the book where I thought \”why am I reading this\”, but I continued and it picked up again. It\’s funny reading the reviews because it seems like everyone liked or disliked different characters, so I guess it can be interpreted in different ways. My favorite were Avery and Atlas. Atlas is Avery\’s adopted brother. She is in love with him (not a spoiler since this is revealed in the very beginning of the book. He may or may not be in love with her – we don\’t find out until later in the book.) Everyone in the book acts like this is the most horrible thing ever, but I don\’t think it\’s a big deal because they are not blood related. There were a lot of twists that you could see coming, but not too bad, and still an interesting read. The ending left a lot of things open, but not to the point where you\’re left with a cliffhanger. One person dies at the end, it\’s foreshadowed early on, so not a surprise. I just wish it was a different person, which would have made for a happier ending (for me)! There were a few people I wanted to push off the roof of that building! Ha ha.

I expected more sci-fi and futuristic elements in the plot but the plot was focused on juicy secrets, forbidden lovers, blackmail, and class differences. It was like a futuristic version of Gossip Girls. Despite this, I genuinely enjoyed listening to the characters each figure out how they fit in and relate to each other, despite different classes and secrets that divide them. I wasn\’t a fan of the ending but the middle had lots of juicy moments that made for easy listening.

Young adult drama about as deep as do you think so-and-so likes me? No resolution.

12hrs and 56 minutes I will never get back. The futuristic concept is what intrigued me, but the storyline was ridiculous. The relationships between the characters were nauseating.

I like that this was a \’believable\’ futuristic book. The author was so descriptive of the futuristic gadgets that I could almost see them. The story line is a little confusing at first since you are trying to follow about 8 different main characters, I found myself multiple times thinking \’wait who is this about?\’ But I quickly caught on in about a minute or 2 of each chapter. From the very start of the book you know someone dies from falling off the top of the tower and it\’s very exciting / anxious waiting to see who it is. There are a LOT of story lines to follow but it\’s very cool seeing how they all tie in together. Overall I think this was a great book and I love that they leave you hanging at the end. I also think the lady reading the story did a great job!
