The Testing

Book Overview

In Cia's dystopian society it's an honor to be chosen for The Testing. But it's not enough to pass the Test. Cia will have to survive it.

It's graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating.

Customer Reviews

Decent book

This is a good book, and Hunger Games Fans will love it. As a fan of these types of books, I was excited to get it. The book is good, but the middle of the book is a little slow. Overall, good read but not my favorite.

Phenomenal

I LOVED this book!! I couldn’t put it down!! If you like books with Hunger Games and Divergent vibes, this is the book for you! 10/10 would recommend.

New dystopian plot

Pretty typical dystopian base ideas, but I really liked the plot and the characters. Gives a Maze Runner/Hunger Games type vibe. I read it very quickly and am now impatiently waiting for the other books of the trilogy to arrive!

Very good

I read this whole book in 7 hours!!! I loved it so much!!!

This was a legit AWESOME book!!!

I really liked the book and it reminded me a lot of hunger games. I finished the book in one night and stayed up till 3A.M. Reading it nonstop. It was so action packed and it had me gasping for air because the intensity made it almost hard to breath. The romance in the story was so well balanced and didn’t overwhelm the overall storyline. This was one of the best books that I’ve read along with Legend by Marie Lu, Nyxia by Scott Reingten and now The Testing by Joelle Charbanneau

I love so this book it was amazing! If you liked Legend or Divergent, you will be a fan of this book!
