Land of the Unaltered

Title: Land of the Unaltered

Author: Leti Del Mar

Genre: Science Fiction

Main Character(s): Rose, Flynn, Aunt Ivy, Eric

Story: Rose is from the rich, capital city. Flynn is from Eureka, one of the cities that supplies the capital city. The people in the rich city alter themselves with plastic surgery to look fashionable. But Rose doesn't want to alter herself, so she moves to Eureka and lives with her Aunt Ivy. In Eureka she meets Flynn. Flynn doesn't like Rose at first, but eventually he starts to like her.

One day their job is to go into the forest to collect samples. Their car breaks down, and they discover a secret that changes their lives. By the end of the story they are on their way to the capital as spies.

Review:

The story seemed a little like the Hunger Games, but without the battle to the death. I liked Rose and Flynn's adventure when they go off into the forest to collect samples. . But overall I felt the story needed more action. There wasn't any big challenge for Rose and Flynn to overcome.

Rating: 3.5 stars

Comments: I don't think I would read this book again, but I would read other books by this author. I recommend this book to young adults.
