The Program Series by Suzanne Young - Reading from 'The Treatment (The Program #2)' from October 22nd 2018

[Rachel]

I'm finished now, so here are some of my thoughts :)

(view spoiler)[ well I really enjoyed this book, I felt it touched on so many important issues! The program itself was a scary thing, with all those tablets to take away memories! I really wasn't keen on Realm at all! He just seemed so false a lot of the time - like calling all the patients sweetness and getting close to them. It was good that he helped Sloane and James escape though :) (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Finished part 2 (view spoiler)[Pills, pills and more pills...sheesh. There is a pill fore everything. truth, memories loss, retention and everything in between it seems. Pharmaceuticals are soon to be the powerhouse of the world! (hide spoiler)]

This sounds like such an interesting plot.

[Abi]

Starting now. :)

[Abi]

Chapter 3 - This is alright so far, but I can see it dragging really badly if the pace doesnt pick up a bit soon.

[Abi]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[ouch! Poor lacey. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

5% (view spoiler)[ he'd rather die than get taken into the program? really? that's sad. are all the teens really so depressed that they'd rather die? (hide spoiler)]

It is dragging. The pace is really slow.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ now James says he's going to kill himself? she'll have no-one left! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 10 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Poor girl! She's losing everyone! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh for Pity's sake! at 30% if goes back to chapter 1!

(view spoiler)[ so she's finally ended up in the program. this is so slow. slashing her wrist isn't the best way to prove she's not mental! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

35% (view spoiler)[ the romance bit between JAmes and Sloane was quite sweet. other than him telling her she gave him a hard-on that is! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

39% (view spoiler)[ bless, she misses him so much! i hate that they have taken him from her! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

40% (view spoiler)[ so they've taken her memories already. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

44% (view spoiler)[ that bloke is disgusting. (hide spoiler)]

[Maya]

I want to know how someone comes up with ideas like this.

Starting now.

[Stormy]

going to start this today or tomorrow

[Sarah Elizabeth]

46% (view spoiler)[ they're telling her that James infected her?! (hide spoiler)]

55% (view spoiler)[ I hate that they've made her forget James! (hide spoiler)]

56% (view spoiler)[ sneaky - having a 'patient' who's actually working for them. (hide spoiler)]

57% (view spoiler)[ he was trying to help? I'm not sure I can believe that. (hide spoiler)]

58% (view spoiler)[ can't believe he injected her like that! (hide spoiler)]

61% (view spoiler)[ 100% survival rate, but they have no idea who they are! (hide spoiler)]

63% (view spoiler)[ and back to freaking chapter 1 againa! so annoying! (hide spoiler)]

63% (view spoiler)[ she's forgotten that her brother committed suicide?! (hide spoiler)]

65% (view spoiler)[ it doesn't seem like anyone remembers. (hide spoiler)]

69% (view spoiler)[ I hate that she doesn't remember JAmes. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

71% (view spoiler)[ I can't believe they lied about her brother's death being an accident! (hide spoiler)]

73% (view spoiler)[ I really hope that her and james get back together. (hide spoiler)]

78% (view spoiler)[ yes! she likes james! (hide spoiler)]

80% (view spoiler)[ how is he supposed to remember? she knows he's been through the program! (hide spoiler)]

85% (view spoiler)[ she is being a bit unfair to him. and she kind-of is leading him on. she hard;y knows who to turn to at the moment though. (hide spoiler)]

87% (view spoiler)[ so he killed himself and he was 21! (hide spoiler)]

94% (view spoiler)[ another ring! and I'm so glad he thinks he love sher!! (hide spoiler)]

96% (view spoiler)[ he's jealous! (hide spoiler)]

97% (view spoiler)[ a pill to recover her memories. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[
Would be awful to not be able.to remember anything! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

That was alright, but so slow!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Way too slow!

[Maya]

Chapter 4:
(view spoiler)[That is horrible that kids can't trust their parents and that they have to physically hurt hurt themselves in order to be able to cry without consequences. That's just horrible! (hide spoiler)] Also when I read the synopsis for this, for some reason I thought James and Sloane met in The Program, but they are together before that. I honestly don't know why I thought that they met in The Program.

Also sorry that I am going really slow with this. I'm in a book hangover from Red Queen. :/

[Maya]

Chapter 6:
(view spoiler)[What the heck?! Miller's dead! That's really sad! So I guess it's Sloane and James against the world. (hide spoiler)]

[Maya]

Chapter 10:
(view spoiler)[Well I guess all of his promises are on her shoulders now. I really hope James doesn't kill himself. I mean I don't think he will. I predict that he is going to go into The Program and then the next day (or shortly after) Sloane will join him. (hide spoiler)]


I knew it.

[Maya]

Chapter13:
(view spoiler)[They removed his tattoos! How cruel can they be?! The answer=very! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Maya wrote: "Chapter 6:
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ it was really sad that Miller killed himself. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Maya wrote: "Chapter13:
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ that was really bad! I suppose he wouldn't remember what they stood for anyway once they removed his memories. (hide spoiler)]

[Maya]

Sarah wrote: "Maya wrote: "Chapter13:
[spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[That is true. He might even have requested that they remove his tattoos if he didn't know what they meant. It's still very very sad. (hide spoiler)]

[Maya]

Part 2, Chapter 5:
(view spoiler)[So I'm guessing that the yellow pills are what makes her memories get taken away? I have no idea how, but that is just my guess. (hide spoiler)]

[Maya]

Part 2, Chapter 7:
This would be terrifying!

[Maya]

Part 2, Chapter 11:
(view spoiler)[What they are doing can't be legal. This is starting to remind me of the old insane asylums that you heard about (what horror movies are made of). Next they are going to perform a lobotomy. (hide spoiler)]

[Maya]

Part 2, Chapter 12:
(view spoiler)[Her memories are officially gone and so is that scumbag Roger. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Maya wrote: "Part 2, Chapter 11:
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ it does sound awful! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ this orange pill will-they/won't-they business is interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: " chapter 2 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yep. I can understand why shes in two minds about it! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

12% (view spoiler)[ so obviously this memory-removal business has been going on for quite some time, and not just for depressed teens! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

14% (view spoiler)[ the suicide clubs sounds ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

18% (view spoiler)[ it seemed quite obvious to me that those drinks were going to have something nasty in them. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

20% (view spoiler)[ so where has lacey gone?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

21% (view spoiler)[ so LAcey is back in the program. hmm. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: " 14% [spoilers removed]"

Yep.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

28% (view spoiler)[ well i'm glad they still love each other, but reading that he said he was only with her out of pity could not have been easy! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

32% (view spoiler)[ her breasts are 'nice'? 'nice'? what a compliment james! not. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

40% (view spoiler)[ so realm has all his memories. the pill is the cure for the program, and the creator of the program wants to make this pill to destroy it.

putting everyoe under the age of 18 through the program sounds like a bad idea. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

43% (view spoiler)[ what is james doing? (hide spoiler)]
