Explanation Concering Books Independent Study (The Testing #2)
In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies . . . a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas—and though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.

Not much better than the first one, this book is pretty much what I expected.This series is almost like dystopia brain candy. It's just fun and entertaining, but not much substance. The main character, Cia, is just too perfect, but not in a good way! She never does anything wrong and doesn't have any flaws, this gets kinda annoying, it's unrealistic, and I can't connect to her. She is an ok character to read about, and it's interesting how she figures out all of the tests, but there's not muchJoelle Charbonneau has written another enticing read that is filled to the brim with exictement and action and stabbed me in the gut, time and time again. With everything a good dystopian should be, Joelle Charbonneau has continued to raise the stakes and expand this brilliant world.The questions this book raises are so thought-provoking and powerful, and I love the ease at which they are incorporated into the plot. The stakes are raised in Independent Study to a new high, and I was completely
WHOA things happened....RTC
This is indeed a great continuation of the first book! It may not be as action packed as the first one,and a bit slower,but there were heart-pounding moments(especially on the Testing games they went through once again). In this book,Cia and Tomas,along with their fellow freshmen Colony students/candidates were about to meet the students of Tosu when they were sent to University in Tosu City.In this new environment,Cia gained new friends and perhaps,some enemies that she's struggling to decide
I feel like I am looking for myself. Staring into the rocky void is like peering into a reflector of my emotions. Shadows. Emptiness. Wow. And once again Joelle Charbonneau has managed to creep me out and keep me on the edge of my seat. I think it goes without saying that terror comes in many forms. But Joelle has mastered the less apparent and infrequently used disquieting terror. It's really hard to get under my skin when it comes to telling a story where we are supposed to be scared because
Well, again I wish i could give a 3.5 rather than a 4. We pick up here where we left off in the first book.(view spoiler)[Cia managed to hide a recording she made before they wiped her memory so now she has to decide whether all the horrible things her own voice is telling her are true. (hide spoiler)]The book is still pretty fast moving and the characters (view spoiler)[ the ones that survive (hide spoiler)] are pretty much themselves. Also the plotting works pretty well with some twists (you
This is not the fantastic sequel to a fantastic book. This is like waking up next to the guy you met the night before (and who then seemed sexy and attractive) after the alcohol glamour is wearing of, monster headaches cloud your mind and you see that he looks nothing like Brad Pitt, not even remotely. Its like waking up, going to the bathroom and seeing a female doppelgänger of Heath Ledger The Joker in the mirror instead of your usual face, mascara and lipstick inches away from where they were
