Narration In Pursuance Of Books The Testing (The Testing #1)
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Isn’t that what they say? But how close is too close when they may be one and the same?The Seven Stages War left much of the planet a charred wasteland. The future belongs to the next generation’s chosen few who must rebuild it. But to enter this elite group, candidates must first pass The Testing—their one chance at a college education and a rewarding career.
Cia Vale is honoured to be chosen as a Testing candidate; eager to prove her worthiness as a University student and future leader of the United Commonwealth. But on the eve of her departure, her father’s advice hints at a darker side to her upcoming studies--trust no one.
But surely she can trust Tomas, her handsome childhood friend who offers an alliance? Tomas, who seems to care more about her with the passing of every gruelling (and deadly) day of the Testing.
To survive, Cia must choose: love without truth or life without trust.

I am really torn between how to rate this book and what to write now because I really really enjoyed this book but then I read other reviews...reviews of readers who rated the book with 3 stars or lower because I always like having different POVs on a book I read. So yeah they kind of opened my eyes to see the flaws of "The Testing" and I really didn't want to see them since I liked it so much. I know everyone should always make up an own opinion but you also can't just close your eyes and4 Stars for The Testing Yes, The Testing has similarities to Divergent and The Hunger Games but it's just different enough to set it apart and strong enough to make it's own name in the vast YA Dystopian category. About the Book: The world has been ravaged by The Seven Stages War. The United Commonwealth is trying to re-build with the help of a few chosen students. Cia has worked hard in school to be "chosen" as a candidate for The Testing so that she can attend the University.
I think Ive read The Testing at least four different times in the past year - without actually ever having heard of this book. With the success of The Hunger Games, every new dystopian - and gosh darn it there are so many of them now - is being marketed as The Hunger Games meets this or The Hunger Games meets that, but never in a million years would I have suspected Id read one so blatantly unoriginal that its not The Hunger Games meets anything, its just The Hunger Games - rehashed, ripped off,
I liked the beginning here. For that reason I feel like something more original could have come for the Main part of the story because it started out that wayThe ending also kinda left me wondering how two more books have been written in this series, unless its an anthology, since it seems to be going in a cyclical direction. Unsure if I will continue series.
Its hard to review a book that made you feel nothing at all. I am an emotional reader, and although I sometimes make halfhearted attempts at objectivity, my reviews generally reflect my emotional reactions, just as it should be. But even though I raced through The Testing and found nothing wrong with it objectively speaking, it didnt move me one way or the other. Sometimes, a seemingly flawless book can disappoint more than a severely flawed, yet heartfelt read. Cias world is textbook dystopian;
All the living want to do is care for the dead. And now they, too, are among the fallen. For those of you who aren't interested in the entire review, here's a recap: There.If that's not exhaustive enough for you, lemme give you all the details. Like I've said in one of my first reading updates, this reads exactly like something randomly picked from The Hunger Games, Divergent, Matched, Legendor The Selection. It doesn't matter what page or character you pick, it doesn't make much difference
