Enders by Lissa PriceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 3.73
Goodreads Summary:
Someone is after Starters like Callie and Michael—teens with chips in their brains. They want to experiment on anyone left over from Prime Destinations—Starters who can be controlled and manipulated. With the body bank destroyed, Callie no longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get inside her mind and make her do things she doesn't want to do. Like hurt someone she loves. Having the chip removed could save her life—but it could also silence the voice in her head that might belong to her father. Callie has flashes of her ex-renter Helena's memories, too . . . and the Old Man is back, filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body?
No one is ever who they appear to be, not even the Old Man. Determined to find out who he really is and grasping at the hope of a normal life for herself and her younger brother, Callie is ready to fight for the truth. Even if it kills her.
Actual Rating: 4.0
The best part about any dystopian novel is the world that the author creates. In Starters/Enders, Lissa Price has created a world where Enders (Old people) rent out Starters (young people) bodies to use to do whatever they want.
The main character Calli is an interesting main character who doesn't seem to really think out her actions. In books there is usually a long train of thought leading to any plot changing action but not so much in this book. Calli doesn't sit around and feel sorry for herself and her loved ones that are in this situation, she takes action to fix the problems created by this type of messed up world.
I enjoyed this book but I wasn't in love with it. The middle got boring and some of the plot twists were a bit predictable. It finally started to pick up at about 80% when the big plot twist came.
I was kinda annoyed because there was no presence of my favorite character from Starters in this one, Enders.
***SPOILER***
I shipped Blake & Calli in Starters and when I found out Blake was actually the old man I was kinda grossed out. But then the big plot twist in Enders is that Hyden is the Old Man.. I can deal with that. Oh of course I loved that happy moment when she's reunited with her dad!
This book was lacking romance at times, and not enough action to get away with it. But I enjoyed it nonetheless and am interested to see what happens next in the wonderful world of Calli Woodland.
