Review #68 - Reboot by Amy Tintera

Reboot is your classic YA novel. Set in a world where a disease is fatal, but some victims come back to life creating humans which are faster, stronger and most importantly lacking feelings. It centres on 178, the coolest and hardest reboot of them all. And insert cute boy.

The first part of this book is really enjoyable. The world building is fantastic and 178's lack of emotion was a really fun perceptive to read from because YA is a very emotional genre. It was also great to read from such a strong female character who is flawed and wonderful. The socially hierarchy is also really insightful.

The early-romance was also done well. The flirting was believable and 178's reaction was done excellently. Her character development was very strong during this point.

However, I found that the second part of the book deteriorated rapidly. Whereas the first part and been punchy and hard the second part was drippy. The plot became very slow and took a while to get anywhere of any interest. Also, the romance became boring. The thrill of the chase was over (ironically if you've read the book) which just left a fairly dull book.

I would recommend this if:

You want a book that is a classic YA dystopia

You like good female characters

You want a book that I questions what makes us human

I gave this two stars
