I would definitely recommend reading this one and seeing it in theatres, even if you are not a fan of dystopian like myself.FOUR THRILLING NOVELS IN THE DARKEST MINDS SERIES NOW AVAILABLE IN THIS STUNNING BOXED SET EDITION. I was impressed with the accuracy of the adaptation. The Darkest Minds is an action-packed book and movie. That being said, the movie is still incredible, and I can’t wait for the sequel! ❀ Action-Packed Movie There are too many clues early on, and it just doesn’t have the same effect. My only complaint is that the plot twists that shocked me so much in the novel are lost in the film. Of course, there are a few small details missing, and certain parts feel a little rushed, but I understand that the story must be condensed for the movie. I especially enjoyed Chubs’s character and his comedic lines.

The characterization is perfect, and it was just like I was reading the dialogue in the book. ❀ Spot-On Book to Movie AdaptationĪs far as book-to-movie adaptations go, this one is pretty spot on. There is so much going on in the story that I was excited to see how it would play out in the film. I loved the fast-paced nature of the book and the shocking plot twists that develop. The book is set in a society in which children develop special abilities and are consequently sent to camps run by the government.

It has been a while since I picked up a dystopian, and I have to admit, it isn’t my favourite genre, but I found myself loving The Darkest Minds. But as they get closer to grasping the things they've dreamed of, Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living. While they journey to find the one safe haven left for kids like them-East River-they must evade their determined pursuers, including an organization that will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting close.

Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.īut when the truth about Ruby's abilities-the truth she's hidden from everyone, even the camp authorities-comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government 'rehabilitation camp.' She might have survived the mysterious disease that killed most of America's children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.
