Reboot
By Amy Tintera
Genre: Young Adult Science Fiction
Personal Rating: 5/10

After a deadly diseased wiped out half the country, a strange thing began to happen--people were beginning to rise from the dead. At first it was a miracle, until it was discovered that these reboots were stronger than an average human, and almost completely void of emotions. The longer a person says dead before rebooting, the less humanities remains in them. Our main character, Wren, was dead for 178 minutes, and now she is a weapon. When Wren is charged with training a new reboot named Callum, a boy who had only been dead for 22 minutes, she begins to see the positives of human emotions, and decides that being the perfect weapon isn't everything.

The reason I gave this book a 5/10 is because for me there was absolutely nothing good or bad about it. It was just a book that floated in the middle between interesting and boring. I didn't feel like it offered me anything, nor did I find the characters worth reading about for more than a few pages. To me, it was just another post-apocalypse sci-fi that offered very little in the way of uniqueness. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book to anyone, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading it either. There wasn't anything inappropriate in this book, I just personally didn't find it interesting.
