This thrilling exciting book combines action, sci-fi, fantasy and romance, so it has something for everyone.

There is so much going on in this book it is hard to pinpoint exactly what I like best. However I particularly enjoyed the plot line where the universe split at the start and all people over 15 years old disappeared. I think this is a very good twist in the plot and builds up tension and suspense.

The reason I really like this book is because at the start you can't really tell who is bad and who is good, but further on through the book they show their true colours and people are forced to choose sides.

This book is full of excitement especially when Drake (a fighting expert) is involved.

Sam (the main character) is a gen­uinely nice child and he copes very well when he sud­denly has to deal with every­one expecting him to take charge of the sit­u­a­tion. I couldn't help but like his char­ac­ter and I think he mixed really well with the other characters such as Astrid, Lit­tle Pete, Edilio, Mary and Albert.

Michael Grant cre­ated a great range of char­ac­ters, some I did not like very much, oth­ers I wasn't sure about them but found myself wanting to know more, while oth­ers were just plain scary. All of them felt real to me.

I very much enjoyed Gone and would rec­om­mend it to anyone.
