Explanation Concering Books Possession (Possession #1)
Vi knows the Rule: Girls don't walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn ... and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi's future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause? The Thinkers may have brainwashed the rest of the population, but Vi is determined to think for herself.But the Thinkers are unusually persuasive, and they're set on convincing Vi to become one of them ... starting by brainwashing Zenn. Vi can't leave Zenn in the Thinkers' hands, but she's wary of joining the rebellion, especially since that means teaming up with Jag. Jag is egotistical, charismatic, and dangerous—everything Zenn's not. Vi can't quite trust Jag and can't quite resist him, but she also can't give up on Zenn.
This is a game of control or be controlled. And Vi has no choice but to play.

I felt like there was a significant lack of thorough world-building going on with this one. Lots of things just did not make sense, and led me to believe that they existed in the story merely to move the plot or characterization along. For instance, how does it make sense to put Jag and Vi, both apparently dangerous criminals, in the SAME JAIL CELL, when there is a whole entire room full of empty cells? And then to leave it minimally guarded so that escape is possible (yet is mysteriously neverI blame this on too many dystopian love-triangle books in a row, so this rating is partly my fault. I got about a third of the way through and just stopped reading. Maybe I'll come back to it later.
Oh dear. Someone is going to have to tell me what the hell happened in this book, because I couldnt follow any of it.Its not often I so badly rate a book, but I have to be honest, Possession was disjointed, incoherent, with unlikable, inconsistent characters and a rambling plot. And the synopsis sounded so promising.One of the most important aspects in a dystopian to get right is the world building, and Possessions was vague to say the least. A quick run down on what I did manage to grasp:Theres
Oy vey. What was going on in this book? Seriously.The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book is unorganised. It reads like a first draft where Johnson just wrote whatever came to mind, and then didn't go back to fix the inaccuracies. Nothing makes sense, and there is no clear vision as to what's supposed to be happening. The world-building, in short, sucks balls.Then there's the characters. Holy crap, I hate Violet. She is dumber than Bella Swan in every way. The choices she
My Thoughts:I had low expectations to begin with, since this book sounded like a ripoff of countless other books, like Matched and its less-successful ripoffs. (Think "1984" with a heavy dose of estrogen.) But this book truly outdid all knockoff dystopians in its terribleness. The plot is a mess, the characters annoying, and the setting barely explained at all.The PlotCan I hear one collective "ugh?" Thank you.First off, it was just annoyingly cliched. You have your Orwellian society where
After a forbidden walk in the park with her match, Zenn, Violet loses her status as a Goodie. The Thinkers have been monitoring Vi's behavior for a long time--ever since her sister Ty's death when Violet unplugged herself from the transmissions that tells the Goodies how they are to think and act. While imprisoned, Vi meets Jag Barque, a young man who is a Baddie. Vi knows she no longer has a future with Zenn, who is now working for the Forces. She is drawn into Jag's world--one where he can
