Eve (Eve #1)
Sixteen years after a deadly virus wiped out most of Earth's population, the world is a perilous place. Eighteen-year-old Eve has never been beyond the heavily guarded perimeter of her school, where she and two hundred other orphaned girls have been promised a future as the teachers and artists of the New America. But the night before graduation, Eve learns the shocking truth about her school's real purpose and the horrifying fate that awaits her.
Fleeing the only home she's ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Arden, her former rival from school, and Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust... and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.
In this epic new series, Anna Carey imagines a future that is both beautiful and terrifying.
Zero stars.My plan was to give this book somewhere around 2 or 2.5 stars because it was cliché, unoriginal, riddled with plot conveniences, and sloppy. I just wasn't enjoying it at all. Then I got about 3/4 of the way through when the main character was raped and the rape was blamed on her. And it never got rectified.I'll keep from using names in case you plan to read this book (which I don't recommend - there wasn't a single good element in this story):Rapist: "She wanted me. Not you - me "
Dystopian has always been one of my least favorite genre in YA books. I have read good ones like Hunger Games and Divergent. I loved those but like Wither the first dystopian book Ive read, Eve did not live up to my expectation.Reading Eve had been a struggle. It started out good but gradually I became more and more unenthusiastic about it. If this was how we are going to be 2032 then I wouldnt want to be alive during that time. No exaggeration!WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?Majority of the Earths
Rating: 3.5It's no secret that I have a weakness for super-cool dystopian novels, so I knew I had to read Eve from the moment I heard about it and I'm glad I did! Considering its insane competition, it's not the best dystopian I've ever read but it was still really enjoyable! Anna Carey did an awesome job with making the world believable in that awful, gut-wrenching sort of way, which is so important in a dystopian book! It was gritty and dirty and full of such selfish people. Some parts
Eve by Anna Carey is light on the world-building as dystopias go. Its not one of those books that offer an incisive commentary on some aspect of our existing culture. Its more, heres a setting where things suck; now we have a backdrop for a romance/adventure story. Thats not inherently bad. It just makes it a fluffy read, rather than a chilling one. Eve doesnt possess the depth of books like Margaret Atwoods The Handmaids Tale (which Carey quotes in the front matter) or George Orwells 1984 or
He was a strange breed of man, part wild. Not the sophisticated kind who graced the pages of The Great Gatsby. Nor did he seem like the violent man Id encountered on my first day in the wild. He had saved me, at least. I could only hope that it wasnt for some nefarious purpose.High Points.The idea. I know people will be like B-b-but its exactly the same as The Handmaids Tale but Ive never read it sooo I think Ms Carey did a great job at setting up this idea and it was incredibly creepy. Arden.
Nope.
