Book: Poster Girl

 Book: Poster Girl

Author: Veronica Roth

Pages: 288


This is my 184th read for the year

This is the story of Sonya.  Her family was part of the elite members of a society until the Delegation collapsed.  Now she is a prisoner in the Aperture - a walled off city for the members of the Delegation who survived the uprising and were jailed.  The rest of her family is dead.  And she - the one time Poster face of the Delegation thinks this is where she will die.  However - she is given a chance for freedom and to rejoin society.  The brother of her dead fiance has given her a nearly impossible task to find a missing girl so that she can rejoin her family.  This task leads Sonya on a path through the Delegation's past that she did not know about.  And in the end she needs to decide for herself where her true loyalties lie.

I really liked this book.  I thought it was well written and the story flowed well.  I liked the characters, and there were a few surprises I didn't see coming.  It is a short book, but she was still able to build a sci-fi world that was satisfactory to the reader.  I knocked it a star because the ending was so unsatisfactory.  I was disappointed - I was left wanting more.  It kind of wraps up, but leaves you hanging and the epilogue is only 2 pages.  A bit frustrating.  But overall - glad I read this one.

Stars: 4
