Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
After reading Skinned I had trouble believing I';d have to wait months and months for the next in the series. Wasserman created a dystopian world out of teens who should have been dead, but have instead been uploaded into new computerized brains and bodies. The new bodies have all the memories of the old person, but - aren't that old person at all, because they can't actually have feelings, at least not like they used to.

This book started out a bit slowly, but by about 50 pages in I was hooked just like the last book. This one takes Lia to grittier, less comfortable places as she learns the history of the mechs she lives with and of the BioMax corporation who created them.

I'm really enchanted with the originality here, and even though I personally would edit the book down to be a bit thinner - it moved quickly once it got going and was an excellent read.

On one hand, I love this book. I didn't feel a need to put it down -- I wanted to see what happen in this world that Wasserman has created; to the characters I grew attached to in the first book of the series.

However, there are aspects of the book that annoyed me. I understand doubting your motives and the motives of those around you, and I get that it was a huge part of the plot. However, Lia seems to spend every waking moment contemplating this - and, the second her "life" gets depressing, she zones out for a month.

Stephenie Meyer-style time skip, anybody? Oh look, characters okay. Omigod, drastic event! Zone out in order to get the plot to where it needs to go. Continue writing as normal.

Also, if Lia was such an independent character the first novel, what happened to that this time 'round? Sure, she's accepted that she's a mech. It doesn't mean that she has to spend every waking moment not doing anything. If she knew the human/mech relationships were strained, why didn't she try to fix them? (Oh yeah - she was too busy zoning out because of the Depressing Event.)

[spoiler alert]
And her relationship with Riley? We've got a semi-slutty character here, folks. She goes through two guys in the first book, gets a sudden relationship with Riley in this book, while all the while denying that she has feelings for Jude. Playa!
[/spoiler alert]

The book does have it's perks. It's plot line and (albeit depressing and synthetic) world are engaging and interesting. Wasserman has a unique writing style, coming across at times as almost poetic and oh so quotable.

Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Crashed is probably going to remind a lot of readers of the Uglies book and other novels Scot Westerfeld has written involving futuristic topics. In this one, people don't have their bodies perfected. In the event of traumatic, unrecoverable damage, they have them replaced.

Lia had no idea this would ever happen to her, and the adjustments she's had to face have been awful. Robin Wasserman has captured the true emotions of a young teen girl perfectly, but the real feat is pulling off the SF background and making that feel real as well. Crashed is the second book of the trilogy, which is even now getting renamed and re-released with a movie deal waiting in the wings.

This sequel to Skinned (book 2 of 3) takes the plot and characters to deeper, more complex places. It would be a hardy reader indeed who would not go in search for the third book at the end. I suspect readers' reactions will vary to the final events of the book, some sighing in satisfaction, others more wistfully.

Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This is a unique look at what it means to be human. Are we just the some total of our experiences and is it a good idea to hold on to life, no matter what form it takes. Lia is faced with these and many more questions. Unfortunately I never really connected with the character and felt the book was slow moving. This book definitely made me decide to never review a book again if I have not read the first. While the book can allegedly stand on its own, the core premise of the book - placing the memories of the living into a robot sounds like a cruel, if not evil joke.

This is part of a trilogy that's about to be re-released with new titles and covers, probably in response to the craze for sci-fi dystopian teen books that has exploded with the Hunger Games and will probably remain popular now that the Hunger Games movie is coming out. This is a good series as well to recommend to sci fi fans of series like the Hunger Games and the Uglies.

Months have passed since the terrible accident that left Auden injured and Lia aware of how much better it would be for everyone if she just left and never made contact with her old life again.

She makes her way to Jude and his band of thrill-seeking Mechs. For a while, life is good. She has plenty of credit, she lives in a mansion surrounded by other Mechs, and has access to several bootlegged med-tech downloads. Lia is even in charge of tours around the estate for newly downloaded Mechs considering making it their home.

Lia doesn't trust Jude, but she accepts him as the leader of the group. When he insists she travel with Riley to a Corp Town to meet with his source for the bootlegged material he has been smuggling into the mansion, she doesn't have a choice. While she is there, the unthinkable happens, leaving her and Riley on the run.

Battle lines are drawn as Savona breaks away from the Faith Party and establishes the Brotherhood of Man, an organization dedicated to protecting the sanctity of human life. Savona instills fear in his followers in an attempt to start a revolution and force BioMax to halt production of future Mechs and limit the lives of the ones currently in operation.

Lia gets caught up in the cause, but as plans become more and more dangerous she begins to have second thoughts. How far can she follow Jude? Is she willing to allow him to go as far as he wants to go? Is she willing to end lives whether they be Mech or Org, to protect her own life? What will she do for the ones she loves? In the end, Lia must choose where her loyalties lie.

CRASHED is a wonderful follow-up to SKINNED.
