The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau (from a Two Thumbs Up reviewer)

by McNally Robinson - Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 1:37pm

Earth is a war-torn wasteland. Attempting to rebuild civilization, the United Commonwealth has developed The Testing, a program that will select the best and brightest people to become Earth's future leaders. Those who pass the tests will be sent to university with the promise of a better tomorrow. Cia Vale is one of few chosen for this opportunity. Before she leaves, Cia's father gives her one piece of advice: Trust no one.

The narrative is intense and fast paced. I rate it 8/10 for its surprising story twists. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games.

The Testing will be released on June 4

Parallel by Lauren Miller (from a Two Thumbs Up reviewer)

by McNally Robinson - Thursday, May 09, 2013 at 12:39pm

Abby Barnes is a high school senior with a plan - graduate with honors, get into Northwestern's amazing journalism program and land a job at a national newspaper by the time she is 22. But everything changed with one little choice. Everything Abby knew about herself turned inside out and she quickly discovered that there is a parallel universe out there where every decision made affects her life.

While I enjoyed the book and the idea that our path may change but our destiny will not, I found it hard to follow. The plot jumps and Lauren Miller's explanation of the "science" behind the parallel universes was often hard to focus on and understand. I give Parallel only one thumb up.
