Johnson, Elana Possession, 405 p. Simon Pulse, 2011. Language: PG-13 (50 swears, 0
‘f’).
Violet Schoenfeld has broken
the rules one too many times. Now
the Thinkers are hauling her in for Lock Up. Society has matched her with Zenn, but when they throw her
in with Jag, another prisoner, Vi finds out that there may a whole other life that
is better for her – away from mind-control, strict society and nightly
brain-washing.
Its too bad that
the society in this book is so poorly described that it is difficult to figure
out the structure. Unsophisticated
readers will enjoy it just for the love story and the danger, but your better
readers will be left cold. Vi is
back and forth and all over the place (I guess that is just like a teenager),
in her emotions and her actions, feeding right into the fact that everything
she does is being controlled by everyone around her – even those she should be
able to love and trust. I would
suggest Uglies over this any day.
