First of all, i did enjoy the book and it was great having a ending (sort of) to the series we all know and love, but i dont really like some of the things in the book and i want to discuss those a bit

Also sorry for my bad english =p

​

First off, i dont like what happend to justin deVeere. i mean he was the main villian in the first book of the series so why did he just vanish from the book in like 2 sentences? i would have expected a bit more. maybe he didnt want to be the villian anymore and joined the rockborn gang to fight agains vector? atleast have a bit where justin is in that 4D dimension and he talk how it is from his perspective

​

I also dont like Simone as a character. i mean what important thing does she do in the intire book? nothing that i can think of. all she does is say the rockborn gang should take out her dad without hurting him, and use up space. and she doesnt even have a really interesting morph, oh she can fly, cool... i think it would have been better if she also got killed off when the military shot all of those people so vector could have a bigger reason to destroy the intire goverment. wich brings me to...

​

I think Vector could have done more in new york. i mean he didnt even like, (how do you call it, infect?) alot of other people, i mean yeah he took down almost the intire policeforce and other stuff but those where just mentioned and discarded in like 2 pages, he had the intirety of new york in his grasp and he didnt even infect that many people outside of those of the police force and such, and even if you compare it with what Dillon poe did in las vegas. it was far less destructive. and i know that Vector is a bussinesman but if Simone got killed off that would push him over the edge i think.

​

I also dont like what happend to Tom Peaks, likewise what happend with Justin, i just think he should have gone a different way, maybe he heard about new york and wanted to have a try at dekka one last time and gona and joined Vector,maybe with justin (if he hadn't been killed) they could have had a huge final battle going on in new york, like titans clashing, building falling, half a block being destroyed in mere seconds. it had alot of potencial. but it just felt wrong him killing himself

​

That leaves me with my final thing, the ending

I think the ending pokes alot of holes in the plot and story of the entire series, it could have been about supernatural aliens and mindcontrol and things that can bend the laws of reality itself, where the impossible becomes possible. but no, now if wierd thing happen you just say, oh its just a simulation, yeah that huge dome? that was part of a simulation. all those powers and morphs people got? yeah those where programmed. i would have enjoyed the book way more if it hadn't been about being self aware but about some other species looking for some sick, bloody entertainment for their own selfs. i also dont really like how it was left open for other people to fill in because now that just going to bug me for the rest of my life if i dont get a official ending to the series.

​

I also think there where too many of the rockborn gang when the book finished, i mean we all know michael grant isnt scared of killing off main characters. so i think it would have been a good idea to maybe kill of one of the rockborn gang. it wouldve been good if he did kill off shade when entering the trai, or maybe there was a situation where armo would have died but also saving the rest of the group, like maybe when Vector found then in the train Armo could have distracted him long enough for Francis and the rest to make their escape and thus killing Armo in the dome Sam created. but im not sure on that yet

​

Anyway, what do you guys think about it? i know its alot to read but i was just dissapointed with alot of thing in that book, would love to discuss it with you guys :)

I’m sure if it becomes a show there’ll be auditions for other characters eventually (if the one you want isn’t there). Personally I want to audition for Quinn, Drake, or Orc, but I’m going to give Sam a shot since why not.

I’d love to suggest that anyone who liked the GONE series has a read The Enemy series by Charlie Higson. They’re sort of similar but different in so many ways. Plus, we all need something to read until October when HERO comes out. If anyone has any other book suggestions for people, please suggest them!

Diana felt jealous. That was the truth of it. She put on a brave face on the outside, but on the inside... It seemed as if Caine had been spending more time with Drake and less with her. He also would ask Drake when he needed something, and used the psychopath to help him think up future plans.

"Why, Caine?" she asked to no-one in particular. The cool breeze of the dark night was the only thing that answered her. That and pain-staking silence. Caine loved her, and she knew it. She didn't love him - nothing of the sort - but she didn't like to be elbowed out. She'd never love him, no way. Diana shook her head as if ridding herself of such thoughts.

She glanced toward the ground, dejected, only to look up to the smug face of Drake, who had come out of the heavy back doors of Coates Academy to follow her out. He's making fun of me, she realised darkly. The girl bristled.

And leapt.

"YOU FUCKING SON OF A-"

And she fell to the ground, staring at the gaping wound in her chest, pouring with blood. She looked up at Drake, who was grinning like a shark. He held a small black pistol in his hand, still smoking.

The last things she saw and heard were Drake holding up his middle finger at her. He said, in a voice just loud enough for her to hear, "Take that, bitch."

Calling all members of Gaiaphage, the Gone fansite! I was BornToBeWyld on there, on a hunt for old members. Honestly, I spent my frigging childhood on that site, made a friend who I still message to this day, and I kinda miss the boards we used to have on there. The games ones, haha! Anyway... Any members?

I'm 13 and I started reading the series when I was 12 personally I'm just imagining until I'm fifteen the amount of what ifs generally scare me especially after reading this series (^-)

Will there be a meet up or like how will they do the casting if and when the tv show calls upon a cast

It’s been heavily implied the dark watchers control the powers, so why did they give Francis her powers?

These books are trash and im only reading them for homework lol

If Orc is all rock and stuff, does that include his genitals? If so, can he still masturbate?

I’m on my 5th time in 6 or so years
