Gone (Wake, #3)

by Lisa McMann

Things should be great for Janie - she has graduated from high school and is spending her summer with Cabel, the guy she's totally in love with. But deep down she's panicking about how she's going to survive her future when getting sucked into other people's dreams is really starting to take its toll. Things get even more complicated when she meets her father for the very first time -and he's in a coma. As Janie uncovers his secret past, she begins to realize that the choice she thought she had has more dire consequences than she ever imagined.

This book was nothing like the first two. Not in a good way. The first two were pretty bad but this one took it to a whole new level. At least the other two had some cool detective work and stuff. That made it interesting. This one is terrible. There’s no action or anything to keep you entertained. It’s basically just Janie worrying about when she’s going to go blind and how Cabel won’t stay with her. It’s just bad.

The characters didn’t develop at all. Janie is still a whiny baby and Cabel thinks he can take on the world. Not very good qualities for the main characters that you have to read about the whole time. They’re mostly just annoying and that’s all you think about during the whole book. Plus there’s Janie’s mother who has pretty much no part in any of the books other than to be extra annoying. In this book we are introduced to Janie’s dad but he’s basically dead so he’s just kind of there. Then Janie just takes over his house and business, like that’s not illegal or anything.

I could go on about this book for a while but I’m going to save you the pain. I DO NOT recommend this book unless you think it’s fun to torture yourself.
