The 100

Read for the Popsugar Challenge (read a book made into a TV show). Sigh. It's my own fault, I was too lazy to read Game of Thrones. Instead, I plowed through this thinly guised romance novel in a few hours expecting...more. Nothing really happens in this story. There are so many flashbacks (for NO reason) and all of the characters we are supposed to care about only have problems that revolve around dating each other. Sigh.

Anyway, the one character who I expected to be the link between the ship and the colony, Glass, does not move the plot along at all. Even after she tells some ship people that the kids were sent down to the planet, no one seems to care. And that's the problem. The people on the ship are the Big Bad, and they are absent from the story. Except for one Lord of the Flies moment, there is no conflict on the planet (besides out of control hormones) either. Yawn, yawn, yawn.

You know it's bad when the majority of the reviews say “watch the show instead”.
I haven't seen the show yet, but I can advise that if you would like to read a story about humans colonizing a possibly hostile planet- there have to be a 100 better titles out there.
