Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1)

by Beth Revis

Amy has left the life she loves for a world 300 years away

Trapped in space and frozen in time, Amy is bound for a new planet. But fifty years before she's due to arrive, she is violently woken, the victim of an attempted murder. Now Amy's lost on board and nothing makes sense - she's never felt so alone.

Yet someone is waiting for her. He wants to protect her; and more if she'll let him.

But who can she trust amidst the secrets and lies? A killer is out there - and Amy has nowhere to hide . . .

Overall, I liked the book. It was a little slow at first, as it required a lot of background infomration about the Godspeed and the 'future' I didn't find a strong connection to Eldest and Amy, but at the end I hoped that there would be more of a romance. Instead, we were given an opening for the future books to come (see, dumb me didn't know this was a series)

I don't think that I would have been able to make the decision that Amy made. I think I would have preferred to stay with my family on Earth and live a happy life, that beein frozen in limbo for centuries. Her experiences before, during and after being frozen would drive crazy a leser mortal.

As for the life in this space ship, I don't know where to start. To be honest I guessed most of what was happing or happened, but it was still a sick thing to do to drug so many people into submission.

I will definitely pick up the rest of the books in the series.
