Whether it’s something about the kids themselves or something about the strange world around them, it’s always something. Because the characters know so little about themselves, their surroundings, and their circumstances there is always something new being discovered. If you knew the answers that were going to come in the end it really wouldn’t be the same book.Īlive is one of those books where things are constantly happening. Savage – our main character – wakes up in her strange ‘coffin’ surrounded by other equally confused, lost young people she has no idea what’s going on.

The book is primarily about a group of young people thrown into the unknown who try and figure out what’s going on. You are thrown into this world where you’re just as aware of what’s going on as the characters. The mysteries behind this series is really the best part of reading Alive. I’m avoiding spoilers because I really do think you should read it and when you do I want you to experience all the twists and turns the way I did. Now, I’m not avoiding spoilers because Scott Sigler has asked people not to spoil things for other people. That makes it hard to really write a very thorough review but this is one of those books where, again, I think that’s okay. I need to be careful in how I approach this review.Īlive is one of those books that it’s really better for the reader that they know as little as possible going in so that they can get the most out of the story.
