Okay, book 2 of the series! This book was pretty short I was surprised how thin this book was when I got it from the library its maybe 200 pages -and yes, for me that's short- This series is really great if you're looking for a quick read that's just sweet and fun. I love the kids in this story including the 'annoying' Chloe. Plus I'm just really into apocalypse stories (I think I said this in the part one post but eh. I don't feel like checking) OH AND BTW...!!!! I heard that Monument 14 is going to be a movie??! Emmy Laybourne posted her dream cast. I only remember Astrid as Bridget Mendler and China Anne Mcclain as... Sahalia I think. I don't know about Bridget as Astrid though... partially just because I don't really like Astrid and I sortaa like Bridget... or at least I liked Lemonade Mouth when I was like 11. Lol Plus Bridget Mendler seems a little too 'Disney Channel' to play someone 16 and pregnant who beats up a child. (Granted it wasn't her it was the chemical compounds) As for China, I know she was on Ant Farm but that show came out when I had already outgrown Disney so yeah. But I assume she's also a little Disney for a rebellious, seductive 13 year old.
Was that off topic? Ha. Anyway! Sky On Fire... Dean and Astrid! Lord so many things about that couple. I'm sort of rooting for Dean in that you always want the hero to get the girl but Urmm... she's pregnant. With a drug addicted douche bag's baby. And she has no personality! The only thing Dean really liked about her in describing her was ''her abs'' and 'her shiny blonde hair'' well 1) Pregnant girls aren't exactly known for great abs. Sorry dude. 2) They haven't showered since the series started (about 2 or 3 weeks) so I'm guessing her hair isn't looking so hot at this point. I think he's just in love with the idea of her and not 'her'. And same goes for Astrid, she was all over Jake one minute and literally the day after Jake leaves she's banging Dean. No wonder you're prego honey! Jake does come back so...awkward. I think Niko and Jo make a better couple... the end of the book. Awww! Speaking of couples... Alex and Sahalia?! Is that happening?! Whoa. Didn't see that coming but I think that actually has the potential of being adorable. In moderation. They're 13. No sex scenes please. And she's just getting over Brayden. Poor Brayden :( that such an awful way to go. I was starting to kinda like him.
Other things I liked about this book really quick. Max and Ulysses are like adopted brothers now! Aww! I love that Ulysses found his family! Max's story about the dog, I love Max in general. His backstory just tugs at my heart. The whole part with the twins getting saved was so sweet! The scene where Dean was running to the helicopter and he tears of the oxygen mask was epic! I just heard intense movie music in the back of my head while reading. Think Spartan warriors rushing out to battle. That epic super hype feeling lol. Well, I've been writing this for too long, must do homework *inward groan*
Thanks for Reading! -R
