Aboard the ship Godspeed things are a lot different than on Earth. Amy realizes this when she's awoken 50 years before she was meant to. She and around 300 other people, including military officers and scientists, had been frozen alive before being put on the ship. Waking up, she finds that she is way out of her league on the ship. Everyone's just so...different from what she's used to. Despite being on a spaceship, none of the people on the ship have seen real stars, just the metal walls encasing them, painted to resemble the sky. Nobody knows what it's like to live on Earth, and they blindly follow their leader, Eldest. She befriends Elder, the next in line to become Eldest, and together they discover all the lies that surround the ship. I love this book, because the p.o.v changes are really well written, and because I love how the author, Beth Revis, makes everything come alive. You feel like you're a part of the book. My favorite character is defiantly Harley. He's like that friend that acts like he's on drugs half the time, and the other half of the time he's spouting out philosophical things that make you second guess everything you've ever known. Another thing I like is that there are so many good quotes that you can get out of this book. The author definitely makes you think about subjects you wouldn't normally think about, unless that's what you're into. I would definitely recommend this book to people, because while it's very sad in some parts, it makes you believe that everything's possible. Side note; Listen to Written in the Stars while reading this book. It should be the theme song for this book. Really. It sounds like it's made for this book.
