Why I can't wait?This concept reminds me a little of the show Dollhouse, which I absolutely love. People purchase or rent someone for a purpose or experience, and Starters sounds like a more permanent version. I think this plus the dystopian element will be amazing. I can't wait to see what Lissa Price has in store!
Wow! When I first saw the cover I was a little freaked out. But then as I stared at it, I couldn't help but wonder what this book is about. I have never heard of it before. It sounds really really good. Awesome pick!
