Description Supposing Books Flash Point

A population hooked on televised entertainment. The chance to win millions of dollars. A producer who will do anything for ratings. One girl who doesn't know she's being fooled...

Amy had college dreams - until the Collapse destroyed the economy and her future. Now she is her family's sole support, desperate for any job. When she finds herself in the running for a slot on a new reality TV show, she signs on the dotted line despite her misgivings.

And she's right to have them. The show has an irresistible premise: predict what the teenage cast will do in a crisis, and win millions. But the producer has pulled strings to make it work, using everything from 24/7 hidden cameras to life-threatening illusions to flat-out rigging. Worse, every time the ratings slip, the network ups the ante. Soon Amy is fighting for her life - on and off camera...

Commentary Appertaining To Books Flash Point

Ummmm sounds familiar doesn't it?? So I love hunger games, but don't love this. So when people say that flash point is for hunger games fans I totally and completely disagree. It could have been great if there was more clarification and development. And it left some unanswered things that were mentioned REPEATEDLY throughout the book.

I'd avoided reading this books because there are so many YA dystopias with nasty media and governments that are willing to exploit young people for entertainment and profit. In other words, I haven't read The Hunger Games and don't want to. Luckily, this book is not that. Yes, the teens are abused for the ratings, but people are not particularly worse than they are now. Amy, the main character, has too many responsibilities for a 16-year-old, but she does well with them. Nobody is all evil; the

Very interesting reading, especially compared to the Divergent series I am reading at the same time. Both are "Dystopian Girl Fanfic", as a friend put it. I thought this one would be right up my alley because it's about someone competing in a reality show where the pressure keeps increasing to drive up ratings, and survival-strategy situations are one of my weaknesses. However, there's actually not much strategy here, and not nearly as much competition as you would expect. It's kind of The

SPOILERS AHOY!Unlike others I did not find the characters flat at all. In fact, I think the author did a very unique thing. Since everything is seen through the eyes of the main character only, we view the characters through HER eyes and she views things very one dimensionally. It is only as time goes on that the actions of her fellow contestants begin to color her views as to what type of people they are that she realizes that they are NOT what she originally thought. The handsome hero is a

I'm thinking about sending my brother-in-law Ryan flowers for recommending this book. It was one of those rare books where I found myself reading it all night long (I looked at the clock and it was 5am!!) Really, really, really good. Ryan, said it's kinda like the hunger games with lots of interesting twists and turns. It was SO good and such a quick read! I would recommend this to any of my friends who enjoyed the hunger games!I'm surprised that Nancy Kress isn't more popular considering how

In the near future a future that is a little too close, and a little too plausible for comfort the economy has collapsed and the US as we know it is starting to change. There is no more middle class. You are either well off, or youre not, and those that are not really struggle to keep their heads above water. Amy, the main character, is doing everything she can to take care of her ailing grandmother and her kid sister, but things arent looking good for them. They have no insurance, and cant

Okay, I was a little iffy about reading this. There are a lot of things that I hated about this book. I just kinda went Huh at some parts.1. The Collapse. I didn't really understand it. All I got was that the economy was down under and all everyone was dirt poor. But this didn't show in the book. All we really read bout was the rich part. I mean, if the economy is down under then shouldn't it alright if you were just getting by by being in middle class. All the stuff I read about was stinking
