Outlivers eBook Simon J Townley Reviews
I was given a copy of this book by the author for and honest review.
Wow! This book was awesome and created a world the was horrible and unlike any other book I have read! In the beginning I was a little confused but once I got the jist of the past I was swept away! Thia was a great character. She did what she thought she had to do to and tryed to hold herself as her life spirled out of control. She was always fighting with her inner feelings on doing what she must! I like how Simon Townley made her a bit twisted! The world was awesome and the ending blew me away! Great Book I would recommend it!!
Theia is a 17 year old taken to be a companion for an old man. As she tries to escape she becomes ruthless. She does everything in her power to try and bring down the outlivers who own the world, or so they think.
The book was easy to read and had a good pace. I enjoyed the story for the most part even though some parts were slow and some were rushed. Also, the overuse of fragmented sentences drove me a little crazy. Some parts were unclear as to what the person was thinking about, it just felt like word splatter.
There was very little world building so I did't really have a clear understanding of why the world is the way that it is, and there is only one important man refered to. Where is the rest of the government or does he run it all? Why don't the younger people take out the old people if they are so fragile?
Aeron's character was really lacking in details as well. How was he before he was taken? What was his and Theias relationship like before? What happened to him to make him compliant yet still love her? Why does he claim to love her even though she was tortured and almost raped?
Theias character was brutal but I love that she fought to stay herself. She started out stubborn but during the torture scene she was out of control. When did she snap? I think her anger could have been build up a bit more. Also the boys trying to talk her down seemed useless.
The plot twist of the story was extremely creepy and I think having that as part of the story, a bigger reaction to discovering her father/grandfather tried to rape her was needed. That's kind of a big deal and it was really only confronted twice.
The last few chapters felt a little rushed. I think more story and information could have come from the retired people and the fighting that broke out across the city. Maybe the next book could be a before this book, when and why the world changed.
I was given a copy by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Theia lives in a gym, with a lot of other kids from orphanages. When she turns 17, she must go to the Workfair to have her future decided. The world is ruled by the "haves" - the "outlivers"- very, very old, very, very rich people who have "carers" and "companions" and other staff to cater to them, and doctors and nurses and pills to keep them alive for hundreds of years. The average working person works for 70 or so years, and then retires - to the seashore, to retirement villas where they live out their lives being cared for themselves. The only ones with any money are the Outlivers, who inherited it and are not letting go of any of it. They are also the government ministers. Theia has been trained in martial arts, and when she is ordered to strip and parade before some outlivers and elderly, she fights and escapes. She eventually is caught, and becomes a companion to very rich, very old, very powerful man. She slips him a sleeping pill for the "little blue pill", and gets away with it for a while. When she is caught in her deception and they try to force her to have intercourse with the old man she becomes even more violent and escapes. She meets up with a couple of her old friends, and they try to run to the sea with a vague plan to find her brother, who is a guard, and steal a boat to find another, better world. What they find at the end of their journey is shocking.
I spent a few very late nights where I just had to read a little bit more. Although I was a bit put off with Theia's escalating violence, I found myself immersed in this horrifying world. The book had a satisfying ending. I would recommend this book to fans of dystopian fiction.
I didn't think I would relate to a 17 year old being an older person but this story had me reading late into the night.
The set up is easy. The old get older, feebler, wealthier, more arrogant and more powerful.
The young have been made serfs.
That's it.
