This is Not a Test By Courtney Summers - Restarting September 13th 2018

47% I'm still really liking it. (view spoiler)[I think it's much more realistic that scared people are going to sacrifice other people that they don't care for, don't know, or think will get them all killed than it is to think that every group of survivors will just help each other no matter what the cost. Not that I agree with it, but I do think that this book is more realistic in that aspect (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It is realistic in that aspect, however, I just can't bond with Sloane, and nothing is happening, I expected much more from a zombie book. (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

92% Well, looks like the author finally woke up. (view spoiler)[ finally some action! I'm so sad because of Grace, though, she was so nice. And Harrison...damn. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

and just as its about to end...

[Inês]

I'm done....well, that was disappointing. (view spoiler)[ The way Trace died was awful, I was so shocked... (hide spoiler)]

Is there a sequel? Because (view spoiler)[ that ending was pretty crappy, I mean, Sloane's sister and father are dead, Cary disappears, and Rhys and Sloane just go riding in the sunset? After all the boring parts I was at least expecting a better ending. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No, its a standalone. The ending was rubbish (view spoiler)[ it was like the author got bored and just stopped writing. (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

I didn't get the point of the book...(view spoiler)[ did it had a point? I was always waiting for Sloane to have an epiphany or whatever and find a reason to live, but that didn't really happen... Everyone else died, except Rhys, and about the ending I agree with you, it was pathetic. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I expected there to have been more of a point too. (view spoiler)[ the whole thing was just a waste of time, and Sloane didn't improve as the book went on either. i felt like slapping her to see if it knocked some sense into her. all those other people were dying, and trying to keep her safe, and she really didn't give a toss! (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

This book is just an example of a good idea that turned into a crappy story.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know. I was really looking forward to this one. I had wanted it for so long! then i read it and it was rubbish. really disappointing :(

[Kate]

I read this last month and was wondering what you guys thought of it. Turns out we all share the same sentiments. :p

26% (view spoiler)[ I'm finding this so dull. I hate books where they're just cooped up in some place, and this is reminding me a lot of Monument 14 which I disliked for that reason. I also really hate Trace, and he just said that there were teachers he wanted dead, and he made a joke out of a teacher dying. How rude can you be? I have no respect for people who wish people dead, especially when they didn't do anything wrong and they're probably already dead. I understand being upset, but Trace is just being an asshole. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

50%: (view spoiler)[ I'm definitely not liking this... I've had crap luck with all my books so far this month, I think I've rated all but one 1 star. I don't really like the writing even though I understand that it's different because Sloane is in a really weird mental state and she's depressed, suicidal and probably has PTSD. I have nothing against that, but the writing just isn't for me. Also I think Sloane is extremely irresponsible and is willing to risk others lives for what she wants. I think all the characters are quite selfish. I think if I could decide I wouldn't read more of this author, but I already have Please Remain Calm, and I have to read another one of her books for Battle of the Books which is basically a book trivia competition where a group of 10 books is selected and you compete against other schools answering quesions about those books on a team. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

77%: (view spoiler)[ Trace is such an asshole. Also, was it necessary to put in the part where he was masturbating literally next to Sloane? I felt so awkward just reading it.. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Done: (view spoiler)[ Why did all the action and all the killing people off have to happen literally during the last 10% of the book? It's sad because for like 8% of the book I was actually into it. I also can't really believe that they missed an entire barricade and Grace died because of it. Almost their entire group was looking around all for several days trying to find it and NOBODY looked in that specific spot in the basement? I find that super hard to believe. (hide spoiler)]
