Review: Mila 2.0
Author: Debra Driza
Rating: 4/5
Genre: Science-fiction
Recommend To: fans of Adam & Eve, Maximum Ride, and Unwind
There was also the expectation of some slow, simmering romance that would gradually build.
I was ready to absolutely love this book, but there were some parts I could not bring myself to like. First off, there wasn't really a cliffhanger. Nah. Also, the character development was stunted except in the case of Mila's relationship with her mom. Everyone else just showed up...and then disappeared. Mila herself, I liked, she was easy to root for, but she was so typical. Bleh. Her obnoxious "friend" Kaylee? Yeah no, she was useless. It was really her mom who I could see a growing relationship and understanding developing.
The romance was.....there? I just didn't enjoy it. There was Hunter, who falls in love with her after like a minute, and they have a secret meeting in the barn....stuff happens. Bye Hunter. Enter Lucas, a nice guy working for the bad guys, who seems to care for her.....stuff happens. Bye Lucas. Oh hey Hunter, I need your help. END OF BOOK. That was honestly it. I felt nothing for Hunter, who she kept thinking about, and then Lucas, I don't even think he was supposed to be a love interest, although it's pretty confusing when she compares the two.
Yes it sounds awful right? The good thing was, the bad stuff was focused on very little of the time. The main focus is the action and the suspense and it delivers. Mila discovers she is an android, activate defense capabilities and badaboom she can FIGHT. Throw in some bad guys, and an evil scientist/madman, it is automatically a fun book. Mila has to learn how to use both her human and android abilities to rise up and it is so very awesome.
The end was not a cliffhanger, but it will lead into the next book, which will no doubt be suspenseful and will probably answer some questions.
But the real question remains *serious face*....how on earth does Mila 2.0 go to the bathroom if she's an android?
