An exciting, adventure-filled sequel! As the story continues, Margaret and friends find themselves in hot water again and again. Turner does a great job revealing the characters' personalities and keeping the pace moving in this story of survival. Even the Pope has a part to play! Great for both religious and secular readers, Turner tells the story well without preaching or "pontificating" (pardon the pun). Appropriate for both teens and adults.
Great follow-up to "I Am Margaret." The three are on the run and in desperate straits. Like the Lord of the Ring stories, help comes in unexpected ways and not without cost. Lots of food for thought. This series may be written for teens, but I'm a 69 year old Grandma loving it.
Margo was strong as ever. I think she actually grew quite a bit in this book. I still feel that, to some degree, she sees Bane through a rose-colored lens, but at least I was seeing the goodness in him, rather than just being told about it. I'm glad Margo got her birth-control chip out of her at the end. I guess they're just lucky the government hadn't started putting in tracking chips yet.Bane is still rather annoying, though, like I said, I can see his goodness now. He certainly grew a lot in this book. He has gotten to the point that, while still protective of Margo (which is a good thing) it no longer feels so much like he is overprotective. I do wish he would go to an anger-management class though.I still like Jon better than I like Bane. He didn't descend completely into self pity, which is something that I had feared at the end of the first book. I mean, he has his moments when he is clearly just feeling sorry for himself, but mostly he seemed to be keeping up his character-strength, even while loosing his bodily strength. It did seem odd that he got shot twice, and he was weaker than the other two. I understand that he was blind, which would make walking an unfamiliar path much more difficult, but in the other book I felt that his athleticism and bodily strength were pretty well established, so I felt that his exhaustion may have been slightly exaggerated. I really hope he finds happiness by the end of this series.I hope to see Juwan and Dominique again. They were another set of interesting characters that we didn't get to know very well, and I'm still hoping to get to know Jane better than we did in the first book.Even though I believe I have adequately expressed the fact that I like Jon more than Bane, I am extremely grateful that Corinna Turner is not approaching the difficult matter of Jon's feelings for Margo as a love triangle. There was a brief moment at the beginning of the book when I could see how the relationships could go that way, but then the author steered us safely away from that path, showing that, while she loves Jon very much as a friend, Margo never had any romantic feelings for him. Once in a great while I appreciate a good love triangle, but they are a fad that is overdone far too much lately, so it's nice to have a book that does not lead us too deeply down that plot line.These books are stressful (in a good way) and I want to know what will happen next.
Amazing! This is a book full of twists and turns. The author's insight into human nature is incredible. Her writing leaves me always wanting more and makes it so hard to put down the books. I am so grateful for all the adventure and action. It is a great book for teens and adults! I enjoy getting to know the characters so well and appreciate the author's character development--quite deep. I imagine this series will begin to take the U.S. by storm. I so very much enjoyed this book! Could not put it down.
These books are so good it took every ounce of self-control to not pick up book 2 until after writing my review of book 1 - I Am Margaret. It was worth the wait. This book continues immediately after book one. The story in some ways has a very different pace than book one. But it is a very tight story. A story about resistance, about friendship, betrayal, faith and a journey of 2000 kilometers and above all hope.At the end of book 1 Bane has freed Margo and Jon and the other ReAssigness from the EuroGov facility. Now they are all on the run. They must cross the continent because their survival depends on it. And now they are the Three most wanted. The three are pretending to be new adults backpacking across the country. Being careful of who notices them, and how much they interact with others. But life trekking across the wilderness can end up being harder than expected. Especially with Margo recovering from the start of her collection. Jon being blind and hiking across the country and with needing to be extra cautious at every turn.The three friends encounter a wolf pack, up close and personal, a bear and experience betrayal more than once. Their journey seems to get harder at every turn. All of this while trying to make it to the Vatican free state.Amazing story! Excellent writing. Some incredible characters who lay it all on the line. I cannot wait for book three to be available in North America and will be following Book 4's release in the UK. Great books give them a try.
As might be expected given the title and its place in the series, this book contains more action and less reflection that the first. The narrative includes plenty of ellipses and sentence fragments that keep pace with the action. Most of the novel moves at breakneck speed as the trio try to keep one step ahead of the EuroGov, starvation, and wild animals. The expression âout of the frying pan, into the fryerâ comes to mind. Only when in desperate need of food, do they dare interact with others, and itâs never certain whom they can trust.The Three Most Wanted is a well-written, action-packed journey containing enough character, courage, and depth to satisfy and leave the reader eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series.(The author is a fellow member of the Catholic Writers Guild.)
And now for something completely different. The continuing adventures of Margaret and her companions - after having escaped from jail, they then have to get all the way across Europe to the nearest state that isn't ruled by Euro bloc. While being the most wanted criminals ever. Quite a different story to the first in content, but not in quality - that has only got better.
