So there I was, at a book-fair, and I see these awesome hardcover books with a completely black cover (save for a colorful title) and brightly colored pages. The books,
Hunger in orange, and
Plague in red, were my first encounter with the
Gone novels. I bought both, In this instance actually judging books by their cover because I had no idea what they were actually about. When I got home I did my research, and immediately ordered the first novel in the series;
Gone. The story, in a sense a modernized version of William Golding's
Lord of the Flies, is fast-paced and very enjoyable. But before I get into the review, read the summary after the jump.
