And here is yet another TOR original free story from the world of Monument This book I feel follows characters which are introduced in a book that I have yet to read - A pity then I have not read the book as I am sure it would explain the characters, their personalities and the situation they find themselves in. The story by its very nature is limiting in what it can describe so so much has to be assumed to be familiar to the reader - that is where I fall down unfortunately and as such I fee And here is yet another TOR original free story from the world of Monument The story by its very nature is limiting in what it can describe so so much has to be assumed to be familiar to the reader - that is where I fall down unfortunately and as such I feel I am at a disadvantage - dont get me wrong I enjoyed the story but from my perspective it felt like so many other teenage survivor in a destroyed world or at least one where conventional rules and barriers no long exist.

This story is of course part of a much larger body of work and that is where I really need to be to truly appreciate the story and what it is building towards.

May 31, Eugenia rated it liked it Shelves: Pero en este 1. Parece como si no se diera cuenta de todo lo que paso. Y, no siento que la autora quiera que sintamos pena por Jake. De alguna manera, hubiera sido idiota que Jake tomara todo con seriedad, como Alex, Niko, Dean y Josie. Es la diferencia de los personajes. Jake siempre tuvo todo lo que quiso, no entiende porque ahora no lo puede tener. Hay una frase que dice Jake.

No me la acuerdo exactamente. A los de sangre tipo B les pasa que tiene problemas reproductivos. Jake dice que eso es una mierda porque le saco lo que era su vida: Casi mato a todo el mundo al leer eso. Apr 06, Shaheen rated it liked it Shelves: Such a selfish boy! I thought being inside his head would give me a reason to like him, but this novella just showed me how right I was in disliking him. Jake ONLY thinks about sex and drugs. While this would be an exaggeration in most cases, for Jake it's just a reality.

And he's proud of himself: It was his thing. He was handsome and popular and he talked about it—how sex ruled his life. While the world is ending. And his best friend is dying.

You braved the apocalypse for a booty call. Oh by the way, she's like a sophomore, so that makes her 15 or 16, right? While Jake is Anyways, I hate Jake. I think the author has done a wonderful job with this novella in showing is how broken and sick Jake really is. It makes me feel like I got to know him a lot better, even if he turned out to be worse than I'd originally thought. Again, this story isn't essential reading to understand and enjoy the series, but it enhances the experience, and it certainly throws light on what happens in Sky on Fire.

I was hoping for some excitement in the story. It was a short story from one of my favorite dystopian series. I was not extremely disappointed, but if the story was meant to connect me to the character Jake, it just made me hate him even more, because of his cowardice.

Plot Jake was sent to a mission to see if the hospital was open after the chemicals were spread all over the state. He was assigned this task because the effect of the chemic Personal Response I liked and disliked reading this book. He was assigned this task because the effect of the chemicals to his blood was only sexual dysfunction, rather than being Type O and becoming a monster thirsty for blood.

Jake discovered that the hospitals were shut down. He ran away from his friends and pregnant girlfriend who were still locked in the superstore in order to find the another girl. Lindsay was a sophomore from Jake's school with whom he would have sexual relationships at lunchtime. He left her with her type O father, after spending the night with her and being unable to have sex with her.

Characterization Jake, the protagonist of this story, was a coward and an excessively selfish 18 year old guy. Jake did not changed as much as I wish he had. He showed his extreme lack of commonsense throughout the story by not being careful in a chaotic city and almost getting killed. Lindsay was a sophomore who always played cool and showed no interest in anyone but herself. However, she showed how much she loved her father by refusing to leave him behind when she had the chance to escape.

I was not a fan of her character, but I appreciated her loyalty to her father. Setting This story took place in the year in Monument, Colorado. The setting of the story was very important, because it was the time when the MORS compound was accidently spread.

Jake and the Other Girl

Also, the setting showed the outside of Monument, Colorado a little bit more, preparing the audience to the beginning of the second book. Thematic Connection I think the theme of the book was "good overpowers evil. However, before he left Lindsay, he was willing to give up his selfish purposes and take the heat for bringing Lindsay with him to the superstore where his pregnant girlfriend was, in order to save her life.

Recommendation I recommend this book to anybody, of any gender, between the ages of 15 and 20 years old, who enjoy dystopian short stories. I recommend this book especially to the ones who read the Monument 14 series. I chose these groups of people because this story connects to the second book of the series. It was a very easy read, perfect to read before going to sleep. Sep 19, david y biblioflick rated it it was ok Shelves: He left because of a view spoiler [ a girl. Yeah, but can't blame him since he saw a flyer of her. So a bit of talking and romance here.

But like what other said this made me dislike Jake more.

The reason why he left the girl with her father is reasonable since it is really the girl's choice to stay. The reason why he left? Jul 12, Trisha rated it really liked it.

He started ripping off the wires from the front of his jacket. He left the store and went out to check if the hospital was open THIS story is the story of what happened to Jake when he was gone. I loved it - to see it from his perspective. And to get to know him just a little bit better.

A little bit of my heart broke for him reading this, because you get to see a little more of him- but then I remember what he left behind and how he left it. And I'm not quite as sad for him, but it's still hard to be Jake I love this series. I need another book soon: Dec 13, Cynn rated it liked it. Jun 12, Adriana rated it really liked it.
