I did not like this book and this took me forever to read. I quickly realized that I was not going to enjoy this read but I kept going because I told my friend that I would give it a chance.

One of the main things that I hated about this book was that it was FILLED with stereotypes. In the start of this book, I had to read about either how ugly or how amazingly beautiful David's classmates were. After the story gets going a bit, there were gangs being formed and they were based off of appearances and your hobbies/interests. The gangs couldn't be any more stereotypical and basic than they ended up being: Nerds, Sluts, Varsity, Pretty Ones, Skaters, Loners, Scraps.. I couldn't get past this.

There was no reason for how aggressive everyone's actions were. They hoard food during the supply drops when they really don't need to. They could have just shared and all had enough to live off of but suddenly everyone decides to get violent and territorial. This also feeds into how much this book lived off of stereotypes as the gangs refused to mingle with each other.

I pretty much hated every single one of the characters in this book. I started off being frustrated with David and I thought that Will would be the better of the two.. But as readers, you quickly find out that Will becomes the hated one and David the liked one. Will feels like he lives in David's shadow so he is always rebelling and trying to prove himself better. Basically this only leads to more problems which usually end badly for David. Will cares more about winning over the heart of a girl that doesn't even like him than supporting his own brother. All of the characters except a small handful are completely selfish, and unnecessarily violent.

We also have no information on the details of this virus. We know that it doesn't hurt teens in high school but then it will brutally kill those that are younger or older.. But besides this we really know next to nothing. We never find out why this virus only lives in teens or why it makes their hair fall out only to grow back in white. I didn't enjoy the storyline or the world that was created in this book and I definitely didn't enjoy any of the characters.
