It seems like a dream come true for many of the new citizens. Crime, as well as harmful emotions, such as anger and prejudice have been eliminated, because the Alliance has computerized control over it's citizens from a computer chip that has been implanted in everyone.

I'm not usually one to jump into science fiction, but this one was really really good!!Enjoyed this dystopian book written over 3 decades ago...still great! The topics of freedom, behavior conditioning, and government control are all central in this book. The main character was easily likeable and I was rooting for him the whole time. The last third was very action-packed and exciting and then ended a bit abruptly for me.
Our one successful office book club book! (The club unofficially ended when I was the only person to finish the book. You'd think library workers would read a lot more, but alas we're in college...) I know Lund from his work in the Work & the Glory series (I've never read them, but they looked imposing on my aunt's bookshelf.) Unfortunately I'm very late on this review, so I can't remember my exact reasons for the 3 stars. The plot dipped into the predictable at times, but I liked the subtle
I really liked this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves futuristic utopia type books, and if you are looking for a good clean book this would be a great book to read. I liked this book because the point of view was the one when the author knows everyone's thoughts, actions, and feelings. It was really fun to read because during the book he would switch to different characters. It didn't follow the same character the whole time and I really liked that. One time in the book two
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! AND DOUBLE WOW!!! This book is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Definately one of my all time favorites. It's written by Gerald Lund author of The Work and the Glory. It's great. It's in the future and a community that's chipped in so they can only do perfect things as in no crime, no hatred no ect. or they get shocked. It's overcoming this awful lifestile and gaining free agency. AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!
I was discussing The Hunger Games with my wife and oldest son. They both said that this book, The Alliance, was so much better, and they were right. I started reading it around 10PM, and Shannon said, "If you start that book now, you will stay up all night reading it." She was right twice.This book deals primarily with a society where everyone is compelled (by a controlling electronic device) to be good. Bad emotions (like anger, revenge, etc) are punished automatically by stimulating your brain
OK-I am going for 3 1/2. Once I got into this book-I was fascinated by it and was compelled to keep reading to see what new twist Eric, Travis, Nicole and the Major were going to take. This book is based on an interesting idea that after a massive war and chaos, the ruling government resorts to forced compliance, disguised as "freedom". The most interesting thing of all to me ,is that it was written by Gerald Lund in 1983.I hope we are far away from the 'end' of government as we know it. Still,
