Fear by Michael Grant (Awsome)

This is the fifth book in the Gone series and it came out on Tuesday.  The series goes like this: Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague, and, this book, Fear.  I would definitely suggest reading the series, along with a lot of other people (it's a mildly famous series).  You absolutely have to read them in order, so that's why I put the order of it above; if you didn't, you would be incredibly lost. 
THIS POST WILL HAVE SPOILERS FOR THE PREVIOUS FOUR BOOKS IN THE SERIES!!!
Here is the cover of Fear:



So, the people of the cover.  The girl is definitely Diana and the guy is either Sam, Caine, or Drake (I doubt that last one).  I'm thinking it's Sam just because he doesn't look like Drake, and Caine wouldn't make that much sense. 

Now that I've covered the cover (haha), I'll move to the author then do the summary/ review.  Michael Grant is an amazing author. He has written the Gone series and the less well known Magnificent 12 series.  It's amazing how different they are, but I figured that I would mention it if there were any hard-core fans of Michael Grant's.
It's been a relaxing four months for everyone in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone), but everything is about to get complicated, again.  It all starts with a small realization from those outside the wall; (yes, I did say outside the wall.  They do a couple chapters from Mrs. Temple's point of view) the barrier is letting in the tiniest percent of X-rays.  That means that in the FAYZ, the dome is slowly turning black, rising toward the sky and slowly blotting out the sun. And what makes it worse? Sam is scared of the dark.  When the darkness is threatening all life in the FAYZ, Sam and Caine need to join forces to stop the gaiphage from doing all of the evil things that it wants to do.  Also important, Diana's fetus is maturing way too fast, the DNA of some people is being messed up, and, of course, there's Drake/Brittney to deal with.
I really loved this book; it was exciting all the way through and still is making me think about the ending of it.  They killed of one of my favorite characters, one that I bet no one else likes, and that was a bit shocking.  The whole thing was just so unpredictable that it was refreshing; too many books make it obvious who's going to get killed off and take most of the fun out of reading it.  Again, I would suggest reading this.
If you don't want to know if there is another book in this series or not, just skip this paragraph; that's my suggestion anyway.  Throughout the entire book, I was sure that this was the last book because they did little outside-the-wall-parts.  Well, that and the fact that the entire book seemed to be leading up to the dome coming down.  I was wrong, happily, epically, wrong.  The ending was so amazing that I woke my sister up to explain it to her. ( She had no idea what i was talking about.)  It was the perfect ending to Fear.  I really want to rant about the ending and what I think will happen later, but I'm not spoiling it.  I will give a hint that I promise won't give anything away; in fact, you probably won't even get it: The accusations between Mr. Temple and the accusers are probably going to be more intense.
The rest of you can join me again here.  If you did what I suggested and ignored the last paragraph here:  The ending was perfect.
I think I summed it up pretty well.  Please read the book, it's freakishly amazing. 
Have a nice Easter or Passover or whatever else is this weekend.

P.S.  This post made me start thinking of who I was most like out of the characters.  I would say Taylor, but Fear put a stop to that.  Not Sam, Astrid, Edilio, Caine, Lana, Brianna, Dekka, Diana, or even Quinn (the 1st book stopped that).  I decided that almost all of the characters had changed since the beginning to be: alright guys who were ruined by the beginning, evil guys who were corrupted by the FAYZ, or just kind of grouchy guys.  I just thought I would point out that everybody changed.  I challenge you guys to find one person who doesn't have a bit of evil in them, are like Taylor in Fear, or is just plain mopey. 

P.P.S.  *SPOILER ALERT* How did that couple possibly think: 1. Their cat found food  2. Anybody knew which cat "Ariel" was  3. Any one cared enough about their cat to respond when others were asking about more important things, like, their kids!!!   I wouldn't have responded to that even if all of the cat hadn't been eaten.
