Warning: Spoilers towards the end of this review. If you don't want to read the whole thing because of the spoilers, please just read the first book in the series and then save your time and stop there. I'm not going to bother with a review of 1 or 2, because 2 is forgettable and 1 is okay as a standalone novel and nothing else.While it's impossible, nowadays, to read any dystopian novel, series, or other work without comparing it to The Hunger Games, I can wholeheartedly say this series is, by far, the worst of them that I've read. After reading The Maze Runner series and finding it "Meh," I looked for an alternative series and with the high ratings of this series, tried to get into this one.The first book was actually not too bad, as long as you put aside the obvious notion that while the protagonist is supposedly super-intelligent, she is head-and-shoulders above the others in her "hopeful" class at The Testing... the other students are absolute morons in comparison. The second book built on the first a bit, but tried to make what amounts to a college fraternity hazing into another Testing all of its own, which seemed to me to be a ridiculous stretch.This final book really hit a new low point for me. First off, the other students, now including teachers and other higher-years, are still unbearably stupid compared to the protagonist. Next, the insanity that is the protagonist's bag. A girl who, by the author's own admission, is undersized for her age and younger than her peers, seems to be able to carry around a mountain of guns, electronic components, and paperwork, all while riding a bicycle on war-torn streets. Next, a president that orders a girl who has issues with being "morally flexible" as her only hope to kill almost a dozen people.Then, despite all the (occasionally redundant) dialogue, you have characters that were introduced in the second book that lack almost any kind of formal development. By the end of the book, I found myself saying, "Oh, they died? Umm, okay, whatever..." when, in other series, I would have felt at least some modicum of pity and sadness for a teenager cut down in the prime of life by unfortunate circumstances.The worst part of this series is this book, and the worst part of this "worst in the series" is the ending. I almost can visualize the author, sitting at her computer, muttering over and over about how her contract requires at least 300 pages for the book to be an okay length. Then, she looks up, and behold! Over 300! "Okay, now to write a few paragraphs that do nothing to handle the ragged edges of the plot, and I'm done!" I mean, she goes into a number of potential plot twists at the end of the book with the director of The Testing, and the protagonist's friend, Will, and how they have all kinds of loose ends with respect to the Reassigned children... and almost none of it gets resolved. It's like she said "Maybe the President has dark motives! Gee, I hope she keeps her word... oh, whew, she did. Guess that was a false alarm. Thank goodness."The Director wanting to seemingly stop the number of students being Tested was incongruous and never explained. Will behaving like a puppy dog the whole third book, despite having cutthroat tendencies in the other two, and then coming to save Cia at the end... never explained. The seeming cloud of suspicion the Director attempts to sow with Cia about the President's "true motives" - nope, no explanation. How all the members under supposed scrutiny never take their homing locator wristbands off when Cia does, yet somehow nobody in administration knows where anyone is - yup, that's a no explanation.The stuff that IS dealt with is dealt with in an almost rambling manner. Oh, all those "Reassigned" kids? Yeah, an entire country has been kept in the dark about it for decades, but hey, we found them all, and the ones we're supposed to care about (well, we don't, because of the lack of character development)? Yeah, they're all okay, whew! Stacia - huh, she didn't show up... well, Tomas should know... oh, she died at Tomas's hand, "by self defense" (didn't a certain artist die that way, "accidentally," too?) oh well guess she's gone. Despite helping the most powerful person in the country and being groomed for government, and clearly a major celebrity once The Testing is torn down, Cia and Tomas can just... go home, and not be bothered, by the government, president, friends, anything, right? Yeah, sure.Look, the book is horribly written and has an ending that reminds me of the last few seconds of an Oscar acceptance speech - rushed and nonsensical. Loose ends are not tied up, or if they are, are tied up in the most horrendous way possible. But if you read the second book, then I guess you could do worse by having to stick it out through this drivel, if for nothing else than completing a series worse than the Divergent series (and that's saying a lot, given my horror at the Allegiant book).
Graduation Day by Joelle Charbonneau is the third and final book in The Testing trilogy. It continues the story of Cia Vale, survivor of the brutal University entrance exam known as TheTesting, University student and rebel as she attempts to end The Testing. i have enjoyed both previous books and enjoyed reading the ending of the story.What I likedThe protagonist. I really liked Cia as a YA protagonist. She has her head on her shoulders and gives great consideration to the consequences of her actions. She’s very much of the watch and wait mould. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t take action, but she doesn’t act without thinking. These character traits are what lead to her central position in the drama. The story would have played very differently with a Katniss Everdeen or a Tris Prior as the protagonist.The themes. The theme of Testing is continued throughout the series. This is continued in Graduation Day when Cia must test the loyalty of those she wishes to have as allies, and she herself continues to be tested in more ways that one as she seeks to end the horrific University entrance exam. Trust is also a major theme in Graduation Day as Cia must decide whom to place her trust.The pacing. The pacing kept moving along briskly and kept me turning the pages.What I didn’t likeMockingjay. Two leaders, one rebel, one elected, both telling two different stories. Teen heroine must work out which of them is telling the truth and the future of her society rests on her decision. Sound familiar? In my review of The Testing I commented that it had similar themes and plot points to The Hunger Games, and I’m seeing the same in the final book of the series. In all fairness, given that the characters involved are very different – and indeed Cia’s personality is of key importance – things play out in quite another way, I suspect this was partly deliberate by Charbonneau to bring the characterisation of her protagonist to the fore.Questions not answered. One of my biggest issues with the series was that, in a society where a reduced population is a serious issue, the government would ruthlessly cull a significant number of its brightest young citizens. I’m not certain that the answer given in Graduation Day really explains things to my satisfaction.Despite these minor quibbles, I did really enjoy Graduation Day and The Testing trilogy. It’s definitely a thought provoking series. I gave Graduation Day four stars out of five.
I'm debating between a 3 and a 4 star rating and can't decide really. It was a little bit disturbing really - what was expected of Testing and University students. Scant say I loved reading about kids forced to kill. It was sobering though because I can see our world ending up like the world's described in these books. We have ruthless and treacherous leaders now -I can't imagine living under leaders trained like the University students in this book - smart yes but also ruthless and calculating.Having said that, this book was hard to put down. It describes Cia's university experience and a special mission she is called upon to complete. There is so much deception and corruption and distrust that I didn't know whom to trust or to believe - it was crazy and every character seemed to have his or her own agenda. It was quite suspenseful at times and frustrating at other times. I like that it ended in a way that didn't leave a big blank, but at the same time I feel a bit let down by the ending. The president lied to Cia and she doesn't call her out on it - I am surprised by that. I guess I'm settling on 3 stars because the content was a bit disturbing- so many lives taken just to pass a test - it wasn't my favorite thing to read about. I think that the series was overall quite good - I just didn't love the third book and the path that was taken.
