By the end I was definitely sucked in, I just wish it hadn't taken 200 pages to get there! Perhaps it was the lack of originality, or maybe it was the disconnect between myself and the characters. I honestly can't quite put my finger on it, but something just didn't hold my attention in this book. I couldn't sit for a long time and read this book straight through, even though as an E-ARC it was less than 250 pages. I'm not sure what it was, but surrounding all of the action and intrigue was an air of boredom. Although it's extremely fast-paced and there are a lot of twists and turns involved, I constantly felt like something was missing. In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an exciting new young adult trilogy.It took me awhile to really get into Glitch. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.Īs Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network. In the Community, there is no more pain or war.
