Summing Up "Starters"

Why I Chose This Book:  One of the books I found in the BAM Clearance section along with "Vitro" and "The Coldest Girl in Coldtown"

Book Rating (1-5 Stars):  4 stars - I got really into it and couldn't put it down!

Setting of the Book: A future USA with increased technology, but no one alive between the ages of 25 and 60.

About the Author: Lissa Price also doesn't have much about her on the internet, but she's an award-winning author who's best known for the series, Starters.

Plot of the book in one sentence: An orphan, Callie, rents out her body to be used by a company called Prime Destinations in order to afford medical treatment for her sick brother.

If I Could Rename the Book:  I got nothing.  Obviously, I'm so good at this.

Genre: Young Adult Sci-Fi

Point of View: Third Person Limited - strictly told from the point of view of the main character, Callie.

Favorite Character: A teenager named Blake who Callie goes on a few dates with

Least Favorite Character: The villain, who we only know as the Old Man

Other (Main Characters): 
- Callie, a sixteen-year-old homeless orphan
- Tyler, Callie's younger, sick brother
- Michael, Callie & Tyler's fellow orphan friend
- Blake, a senator's son who goes on a few dates with Callie

If the Book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters? 
- Callie would be played by Bella Thorne from "Shake It Up"
- Tyler would be played by Elias Harger from "Fuller House"
- Michael would be played by Jeremy Sumpter, the actor from "Peter Pan" (2003)
- Blake would be played by Brant Daugherty from "Pretty Little Liars"

Favorite Scene of the Book: There were a lot of good scenes, so I can't really pick one in particluar.

Least Favorite Scene of the Book: Ehhhh I don't know.

Favorite Quote in the Book: "Youth is wasted on the young."  Simple, but true.

Did I like the Ending? LOVED the ending - can't wait to read the sequel!

Which of my friends could I see loving this book? Probably my friend, Maribel.

Which of my friends could I see hating this book? Any of my friends who hate fiction & love non-fiction (like Matthew, Nathan, Greg)

This book left me feeling: Entranced

How Long Did It Take Me to Read It: 3 hours, I think?
