“Listen, sweetheart. Don't be a hero. [...] If they actually go through with this hare-brained notion and send you into the fighting, there will come a time when you'll have a choice between staying in your trench and crawling out of it to save a buddy. Or maybe you'll have had enough of getting shelled and decide you just have to run out there and shoot someone. That's what I mean. When that moment comes, you stay down. You keep your head down. You hug the ground.”

“The feature that makes people look at her twice, sometimes with suspicious glances, is her eyes. They are too large, wide-set, slanted a bit. And they judge, those eyes do, they watch and they take note and they judge all that they see, and lots of folks do not like that much.
To the innocent, her eyes are arresting. To a person with something on his conscience, they seem too knowing.”

Basically, that was what I was going to say to you, Michael. You are my second author to friend me and I feel like going on top of Mount Everest and screaming to the whole world, "I LOVE YOU MICHAEL GRANT AND LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON FOR ACCEPTING MY FRIEND REQUESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That felt so weird of me but whatever. For a girl that no one really looks at completely, and an outcast who spends her elementary school recess time reading in a corner all by myself, it feels like I'm walking on cloud 9 (whatever the heck that's supposed to mean). I adore the Gone series and am getting my friend to try to read it. I love how it has a little bit of everything. From sex and drugs to anorexia and lesbians. And throw in a bunch of teenagers trapped in a bubble with no adults and have to be there in a year where they develop powers and fight against evil and hunger. I have to say, I wasn't that fond of the ending (view spoiler) , I still love your way of writing. Michael, you have made my month, heck, my year . YOU ROCK.

I just need to say, that I LOVE your books. The Gone Series was so amazing! I Literally read it day and night, till my mom start yelling at me because it was late.
I wanted to jump around like a little girl -and a fan- when I got the notification. So... just thank you, because you made this book nerd the happiest person in the world.


I love your books so much. I recommend them to everyone, I'm not even kidding. So, like my friend is telling me about all these types of murder and torture that she knows and I'm like, "Hey, you'll love the Gone series. The first one's more mellow but then they get REALLY violent." When I was reading them the only thing that stopped me from reading all night was my parents coming in and getting mad at me. Solution: I got a flashlight. It's a pretty sucky flashlight but I use it until one, by which my parents are asleep, then I turn on my actual light.
I really have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for accepting my friend request. I was just checking my email like I do every day after school and I got an email from Goodreads: Hello Elephant, Michael Grant has accepted your friend request. I basically died then came back to life. I bow down to you.

Thanks for all the beautiful reading you have provided for me these past couple of years.

I just finished reading Light, and I am so sad now that its over, its like I lost a whole load of friends... I have to tell you that the end surprised me, even though it really shouldn't because it seemed like an obvious ending. but because I knew u were the author i expected it to be different, u know..., but im glad it ended this way! some of my favourite characters are still here but I lost some I never thought I would lose :( did u intend to make the ending take the readers by surprise? so thank you so much for filling, like, my past four years with this amazing and disturbing world u created... and im going to miss it so so much... and im feeling depressed now that it is over :( im never going to be able to enter a world like that again.....



I would like to thank you so much for being my friend here on GoodReads, which is a fantastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people including authors and readers, writers and book bloggers. I value highly all of my friends on this site and very much look forward to discussing books with you.
Kind Regards

So, just thank you, I think it's awesome you haven't used it (yet; I'm only fifteen chapters into FEAR).



"...My goal in writing GONE? To creep you out. To make you stay up all night reading, then roll into school tired the next day so that you totally blow the big test and end up dropping out of school."
Your apathetic attitude towards the somewhat sensitive subject of high school drop outs (especially sensitive with Americas brittle economy) has, strangely enough, restored my faith in the human race. Don't ask me why, because I'm not sure I quite understand myself. Nevertheless, I thank you.


Seriously, this is happening to me over and over again, every time i read the books. Can't get up in the morning to get my sorry ass back at school, because of this series.
But thank you so much! I really love this series, so I can't say more thank you. Realy love them!
Can't you make a movie? Please? I WANT A MOVIEE!!
xoxo your biggest Norwegian fan, Anette :D
(sorry for my bad english, but I'm a norwegian, and got the worst englishteacher you can ever imagine!)

series<3 :D And I can't wait for the book 5 to come.





Hiii! I love your GONE series. I picked up the first two from my schools Scholastic book fair. :) I flew them all then bought Lies, and Plague! Plague was so good! I didn't like the ending though...
DEKKA IS THE BEST!
