Villain (Gone, 8) Paperback – October 1, 2019

Great details and story involved . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,

I have throughly enjoyed this series, and enjoyed this one as well, although this is the first of the series that I didn't find myself completely engrossed in and unable to put down.

Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Mr. Grant's. I have insisted on everyone I know that enjoys reading that they read his books. The entire Gone series I have absolutely loved. That being said the only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars was there wasn't enough back stories on the main characters in Villain. Throughout the Gone series we were given the backstory on most of the main characters. That way we could at least try to understand the choices they were making. I have no idea why the villains of this book became so deadly so fast. The second story in this book could have had several chapters devoted to what was going on there. I Always Love Mr. Grant's writing, this just seemed a little bit rushed. I do recommend this book. Its still an excellent book with a great story and I can't wait for the next one.

So I didn’t care for the book before this one. In my review, I said it was just ‘meh’ and I hoped that this book, book 8, would be better. It did not disappoint! The edge-of-your seat action Michael Grant’s Gone series is known for shines again in this book. I stayed up all night to finish it. I can’t wait for book 9! Am anxious to see The Rockborn Gang save the world!

Looked like a new book. Good condition. Price good. Came in time specified. Very happy. Would recommend and use this seller again, when needed.

I recommend reading the full I am sad that I am finally coming to an end of the series. So far it's been a blast!

Son loved this book. He is using it as leisure reading between exams. He told me he loves the book so I highly recommend. He is a junior in HS and this is the genre he likes.

There's a lot to digest in this. While I enjoyed it because this world is amazing; there was a LOT that was really unnecessary. There were Rockborn that were given so much life, only to have their stories literally go nowhere at all. I don't understand why so much effort was given to characters that didn't even have a chance to be or do anything. I think that's one of my biggest issues with this book. The other big issue is that it seemed rushed. Very rushed, actually. I suppose it was supposed to be a bridge between the beginning and the end, but there's no depth to this part of the story. It seems like it was written just to be written. Every character is far more impulsive than they should be, and its non stop chaos from the first page on. There's also the matter of Peaks, who was supposedly a main character, wise morph changed with zero explanation as to why it changed between book seven and book eight, who's storyline ended I'm the most unlikely, improbable way imaginable. The return of Drake was anticlimatic at best. There was literally no reason for him to be back. He doesn't really offer anything to the story, other than to give readers the futile hope of a Sam and Astrid comeback that never happens. Those two being so briefly in the story, but talked about constantly in the first book and this one is a bit pointless as well. There's absolutely no reason either needed to even be mentioned other than in Dekka's initial internal dialogue in the first book, so readers would have a glimpse of what they were up to; beyond that, its redundant and even the scene we see the two in is nothing more than filler and a small break from the absolute chaos of the entire second book. I honestly hope the final book is better than this. This series didn't deserve to be ruined with this Spinoff, in my opinion, and there's just one more book left to redeem the mess Mr. Grant has made of the memory of The Fayz and the Gone series.

The whole series is a never-ending adventure. Lots of action! What I really like about these books is how Michael Grant describes things in such a way that you can actually experience it. It's like seeing the movie rather than reading the book! Books 1-6 were fantastic. The last three are quite different, but not in a bad way.

Livre reçu dans les temps. Je recommande !

Michael Grant continues to outdo himself. He truly captures the realism of it all and how the “Rockborn Gang” are affected by it all, how their humanity is called into question. Can’t wait for Hero

I love this series- so many twists and turns
