Better than number 1!

Liked it better than number 1. Faster pace and doesn't get bogged down in too much trivial detail. Great ending has you eager to read number 3.

Liked this much more than #4,  as well as 1&2. Great story, great couple with great chemistry, and of course, great passion!  I have to go back to #3, but will read the whole series.

Suspenseful and very entertaining. Better than the first one.

Hold on for this joy ride, this one is better than the first. This book only confirms my belief that this might be one of the, if not the best, book series I've ever read. Before I knew it, I was there with Delta as they pushed to survive. Mr. Smith, congratulations you have succeed where so many others fail. This book is better than the first, and even before I finished, I intended on but the next one.

I was very apprehensive about this next album release from LP, simply because the first one was spectacular and I didn't think they could equal it let alone top it. This is just as good if not better! LP kicks some serious azzz!

This one picked up where the first one left off and ramped up the tension and excitement. And then added character development!  A great read!

Better than the first one! The world is brought into better focus, the characters become more detailed and the plot thickens. This book highlights the best aspects of the series.

I read both books, but Interesting Places (#2) is by far my favorite.  It had a lot more humor (which was refreshing and laugh out loud at times), developed the characters even further from the first book, and definitely makes me want this series to continue into many more books.  Can't wait!!

Better than the first one!  I had mixed feelings after the first one. It took too long to get going leaving our characters to do some stupid things just to move the plot a long and fill time, like not checking on their friend that they hadn't seen all night and all morning, one even said "maybe i should check on her"... yeah you probably should! They also probably should have noticed that puddle of blood on the stairs. My main issues were actually with "final girl" when she had been caring for her badly hurt friend the entire movie and then she just abandons him towards the end knowing he'll probably die.  It made it hard for me to root for her after that... This movie was a little bit better, it's more fast paced and reminded me a lot of Halloween 2. Our killer is a little more inhuman in this one, and I'm glad they didn't take his face cover this time! The hospital was creepy but not as creepy as the ski lodge. I liked that there were two women working together- you don't see a lot of that in slashers!

I liked the first one better...but this was good. Looking forward to the third!

This is a great series. Number two was even better the number one and number three is even better than two! Great series, highly recommended. It can be very funny, elements of science fiction and commentary on human society and evolution

This book was so much better the first one! we left off in The Darkest Minds as Ruby (rather rudely, I might add) wiped all traces of herself from Liam's memory, a move that I imagine left many of us distraught.
 The Darkest Minds was full of action, and Never Fade has even more thrilling, suspenseful escapades and missions.
We are introduced to three new characters who are Children's League agents- Vida, an acerbic, honest and hilarious Blue, Nico, a small, fragile Green, and Jude, a sweet, naive bubbly Yellow.
Vida particularly was such a brilliant addition to Ruby's family, and every scene she was in had me cheering for her.
Kate, the CL agent who originally tried to recruit Ruby is also an intriguing and brave character who is further developed in this sequel.
RUBY undergoes tremendous character development through the novel-she is no longer the frightened girl ashamed of her Orange abilities. She is willing and ready to use them unflinchingly and brutally against anyone who threatens those she loves.
I'll address a couple worries I had before I began this book, just in case anyone else happens to be taking them into consideration before they purchase this title.
 Mild spoilers ahead! Ill try to keep things as vague as possible though!

Clancy Gray DOES take an important role in the latter half of this book.
Ruby and Liam and Chubs DO meet again.
Suzume (Zu) is NOT present in this book at all, though she is mentioned.
The book DOES end in a bit of a cliffhanger.
There is NO love triangle in this book (in case you're thinking/cheering for Ruby and Clancy to be a thing) that grammar was atrocious sorry lol yikes

The reason I gave this book 4/5 vs. 5/5 is because I, for one, have a lot of questions about the state of the US and IAAN.
Is IAAN still an active disease? Or has the outbreak ended, and now the population of children is decimated, with only the Psi kids and young children who constantly are getting checkups left?
At the very end of the book, Clancy reveals something that he's done that I don't really understand his reasoning for at all, and I was left a bit flabbergasted.
A few plot twists occurred in this book that I struggled to comprehend the logic and reasoning for. I felt that insufficient background and explanation was provided for things like what Clancy did (sorry about being so confusing and vague-I don't wish to ruin the book for anyone)

The way that Ruby put a curtain over herself in all of Liam's memories was just so disrespectful and unacceptable, and I don't think her actions were sufficiently addressed and resolved with Liam.
ALSO- the romance isn't very active in this book. Ruby loves Liam still, and is thinking about him constantly, but there is so much action and intense scenes that there isn't much time to think about romance. Bracken makes this work just fine though.
If I sound like a supercritical person who didn't ready enjoy this book that couldn't be farther from the truth. I absolutely adored this book and I love the series. It is one of the best books I've read this month. READ THIS BOOK!
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO FANS OF: the Shatter Me series by Tahareh Mafi, False Memory by Dank Kronos, Unwind by Someone Who's Name I Forgot, and The Young Elites by Marie Lucas.

I am a person of few words. But I consider this second installment of the Lizzy Gardner series much better than the first! The characters were more real to me! The story line and the personalization of the characters was much better! If you enjoyed the first one you will definitely enjoy this one!

I thought this book was even better than book 1.  Robert Dugoni keep them coming!

Great, I still think the first one was better, but number 2 was close. Taken 2 is tied into the plot of the first one very well with very similar plot and action and with the differance of the parents being taken instead of the daughter. Good movie.
