Alive Book One of the Generations Trilogy Scott Sigler Books

This book has a seriously interesting premise. I found however, that it tries to be too mysterious for the first half that I got a bit bored during the first half. Granted, this is a YA book and I am a mature reader. But the corridor running that the group goes through for the first half of the book, had me yawning. There wasn't any payoff for reading the first half of the book that sets up the twists and turns that Alive takes.

This book does get much better. I think that had I known what was going on first hand from the onset, this would have been a much better book. The reader goes through the waking up of Em in a strange coffin with a piercing in her neck. She then helps to spring others in a mysterious room. The group picks Em as a leader after a bit of fanfare.

I think, as a reader, I would have been much more interested in this story had the whole idea been planted and told from the perspective that unfolds toward the end of the book. I would have enjoyed it much more than how it did unfold. This is a fairly entertaining story and some will like it more than I, but I felt kind of duped reading it.

Em's strength did remind me a bit Katniss-she is very strong and determined to save her group. I think after this book is out of the way, the series can take off a bit more and this first book was a bit slow. Some activities take pages of detail to get through, all the while maintaining this air of mystery because the group has no idea where it is or how the people came to be in their little pods or coffins from which they came.

This is like a C story to me. The rest of the books may get much better once the action begins.

Alive Book One of the Generations Trilogy Scott Sigler Books Reviews

I am surprised that I finshed "Alive" alive. It certainly left my heart skipping a beat or two in certain places - dark, enclosed places.

Many have compared the book to "The Hunger Games" but I think it more closely resembles "Maze Runner". However, "Alive" would be enjoyable to anyone who enjoyes YA distopian novels.

Others have given a small, spoiler-free, introduction to the book so I won't go into that here. I do feel that many of the characters are well developed, especially the main characters for this book in the trilogy. I know that some of the minor characters are likely to have their parts grow in the next two books and I'm looking forward to seeing how their characters develop.

Overall a great read from an established author and highly recommended.
A young woman awakes suddenly. She is trapped. She can’t see anything. Her hands are held at her sides by some kind of straps. Her feet can’t move either. Something is trying to bite her neck. She must get free. She struggles and is able to break one hand free. She grabs the snake and then bites its head off. But she is still trapped. She has to escape. She doesn’t know why she is here. She doesn’t know who she is. She just knows that she needs to be free.

That’s how Alive begins. You are seeing the panic and horror through her eyes. You will discover who you are and where you are, but before you can figure anything out, you need to escape. You have many more puzzles to figure out. The story is one of discovery. Everything is unknown.

Scott Sigler is beginning a new Young Adult series. This is a well written firsthand account of M. Savage. She is the person you see, and the story unfolds from her point of view. You get to know her as she gets to know herself, since she has no idea who she is, where she is, or why she is there. There are more people, but they are as lost as she is. The story is their story of discovery.

I enjoyed this book. It’s a very quick read, partially because it’s a short book, but also because the book is very hard to put down. It is definitely the first book in a series, but since there is some plot resolution, I’m not labeling it a serial, even though you will be anticipating book two. I hope it comes out soon.

I give Alive 4 1/2 Stars out of 5 and a Big Thumbs Up! You should read Alive, if you want to get in on a new, exciting young adult series.

If you would like to listen to the FREE audiobook of Alive, it’s available at Scott Sigler’s blog. He is podcasting the whole book. A new episode is out each week! Scott Sigler podcasts all of his books for free!

I received a Digital Reader’s Copy from the publisher.
I was lucky enough to be given an rough cut of this book because I'm a long-time Sigler fan. I've been asked not to spoil any details, so I can't actually tell you much about it! I CAN tell you the following things It's YA, so no bad language or graphic sexual situations. The protagonist is a girl and the story is told from her POV. She wakes up alone in the dark and has no idea where she is or what the heck is happening. She has very few memories of the time before she woke up. She thinks she's 12 years old and it's her birthday. She finds some other kids and they start walking.
This is the first book of a series, so you never get ALL the answers, just enough to make you want the next book NOW! The ending comes at a good transition point to the next book. I didn't feel cliffhangered, but I'm eagerly awaiting the next one! I probably could have read it in one day if I'd had the time. It reminded me somewhat of "Lord of the Flies". Definitely recommended.

My 11-year-old niece is a non-reader. I challenged her to read the first 5 pages. After two pages she asked if she could take the book home with her.
