Another time for an another crazy review from your truly the master of mischief, crazyC. Okay not really master of mischief, but I am quite honest in my review of any novel that I read grant it majority of the novels that I read tend to be rated four or five stars compared to the Goodreads rating systems. The next review doesn't fall far from my normal reviews in which I enjoy almost every aspect of this novel from the characters, plot, setting and any other features of novels. Without keeping you waiting for the review here it is in all of its glory.
X-men meets Lord of the Flies, what else is there to say? The adult and anyone fifteen are gone and the kids are hungry for food and power. The title explains exactly what this novel is about. The darkness and the kids are hungry. This novel does an excellent job in recapping what happened in the previous novel, Gone. Michael Grant wonderfully articulated the respond of the many kids and it seems so real, but some time the characters seem a little too far out there to be kids. Most of the character act like what you would expect if you found yourself lost among hundreds of children without any adult supervision. You will have people step up and try to make sense of the madness, but at the end of the day you have to remember that they are still just kids taking care of kids. All in all, interesting taking on what humanity can deal with to survive. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

The next review is quite an odd one because I brought this book at a local indie bookstore in Charlotte for $1. The story is odd in itself because of the author who wrote being William Golding; the author behind the wonderful and thought provoking novel the Lord of the Flies. Now if you read any of William Golding works you know that he loves to make the reader rethink about humanity. Lord of the Flies took schoolboys and put them on an island in which you show the boys become uncivilized. Well in this novel he does the same in showing civilized and uncivilized behavior except he uses Neanderthal instead of schoolboys. Now for the actual review from goodreads with some minor changes.
For a classic novel , Inheritors, this was pretty outstanding with decent writing, but quite confusing at most points in the novel. That could be due to the fact of the author, William Golding, writing style is hard to get used too and if you enjoy Lord of the Flies pick give this novel a shot you might like or totally hate it. However if you are looking for a fast pace novel, then go somewhere else because this novel has a steady speed and will maintain that speed throughout the novel. I see the reason behind it being a classic, but like most classic it take an acquired taste. Read at your own peril. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
