Control (Control, #1)

Lydia Kang

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

When a crash kills their father and leaves them orphaned, Zel knows she needs to protect her sister, Dyl. But before Zel has a plan, Dyl is taken by strangers using bizarre sensory weapons, and Zel finds herself in a safe house for teens who aren’t like any she’s ever seen before—teens who shouldn’t even exist. Using broken-down technology, her new friends’ peculiar gifts, and her own grit, Zel must find a way to get her sister back from the kidnappers who think a powerful secret is encoded in Dyl’s DNA. Set in 2150—in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms—this is about the human genetic “mistakes” that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes.

    Oh Control, why were you such a good book? Could it have been your quirky, unconventional characters? Or was it that, despite being largely predictable, you also had story elements and plot turns that I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams? I know, it was the way you grabbed my attention and refused to let go until I had read every last word on your pages (including your dedication, appendix, note, acknowledgements, and author bio). No, wait! It was definitely your eye-catching cover! Or maybe it was the way Ms. Kang built a world that seems real in a way that makes me think I could reach out and touch it. Oh well, I can't decide. All I can do is wait patiently for your sequel (Catalyst), recommend you to everyone I know (and probably some people that I don't know), and hope they love you as much as I did.
