Born started off so promising. I was drawn into the story and loving it until about half way through. Then things started to fall apart a bit for me. Emma started to becoming super annoying and a lame love triangle was developing and I just didn't enjoy the last half of the book. A good idea, but the main character, or really most of the characters, got on my nerves by the end of the book. So much so that I didn't want to continue on to the next one.

Emma has been on her own for the past ten years. Ever since the world as we know it was destroyed and her father died. She has a pet wolf, but that has been her only companion since she was 9 years old. So she is not so good with people as she has hardly been around them. Her father taught her to survive, to take care of herself, to be independent. He taught her to not let other people in because that can get you killed. Stay by yourself, pay attention, don't do anything stupid and survive. So that is what she does. There are lots of bad people still living, seems like only the worst survived what happened, as well as the infected. I really enjoyed the world that was created. The ideas were pretty cool even if I don't know everything yet. The others, the infected, the breeding camps, everything was really fascinating and kept me wanting to read more.

So Emma is on her own for years until one night she gets a knock on her door. A girl, Anna, who is asking for her help. Her brother Jake is stuck in a hole not too far away and will surely die if she doesn't help. Anna doesn't care if Emma kills her just as long as she promises to help her brother. And this is where Emma starts to change. Unfortunately we don't get to see the change happen, we are just told it does. The book just skips time and Emma is all caring about these new people now and not going to kill them, will do anything to save them, etc. I didn't really understand since I didn't get to see the change, but I just went with it.

Then when Anna is in danger Emma runs off to save her. She meets some allies, a group of people who are actually living peacefully in the woods and trying to make a new life where they can. Through them she gets some help and starts to try and save everyone (though it was the beginning of Emma turning into a super annoying character). Once she meets everyone that is where the stupid love triangle comes in. She obviously likes one boy more than the other, but is very resistant to the idea. Plus the boy she likes is kind of a jerk and not cool at times. It was not so good. Then she risks her life to save one person, then decides she must save everyone! Every single person, except the people she indiscriminately kills because they are on the inside. Who knows some of them could be good people, she knows this as some of them helped her before, but let's not think about that. She gets all crazy by the end, runs off willy nilly and does whatever she wants. She won't listen to anyone, won't stop for a second and make a plan. Nope. If someone questions her she just gets angry and runs off by herself because that is smart. Good thing she is super awesome and nothing can stop her....

She also is super judgmental of most of the other people she meets. She hates the girl who also seems to like the boy she likes. She even goes off victim blaming her for being raped which is a HUGE no no. She was horrid. Absolutely horrid to the girl who wears clothing that Emma deems inappropriate. Plus thinks she is a whore because of said clothes and that the boy she likes likes that girl to. Or at least used to. Her and her judgmental self got on my last nerve. The victim blaming was the last straw. That happened near the end and really made me say nope to reading more of this series. I just can't stomach stuff like that. Not cool. Not cool at all. I just wanted to tell Emma to get over herself and stop treating everyone else like crap because you think you are so much better than them. I hated it. Such a shame as I did really like the first half. I was all in and couldn't put it down until Emma because someone I hated. Oh well.

Born The Born Trilogy Volume 1 Tara Brown 9780987941077 Books Reviews

I finished all three books... the story is interesting enough and made me want to find out how it all ended. That being said, the books have typos everywhere and facts and details that were not consistent from one book to the next...which I found very annoying. For example, in one book the heroine says she prefers her bow over a gun because she is quicker and faster with it when dealing with the zombies...but then in the next book, she says she wished she had a gun and not her bow when dealing with the zombies using the exact opposite reasoning from the previous book. Another example of inconsistencies in one book a cabin is burned down while in the next book, said cabin is perfectly fine... and on a different note, and includes a little SPOILER ahead ... i think I really gave up on the book when the same person was “killed off” twice... personally this book was a dud for me although it was an interesting concept.
I really liked this book! It had my interested from the begining and kept me it till the end. And then I immediately bought the next one. The protagonist was a little over the top with bravado & could be pretty frustrating at times. And they did end up in some rediculously dangerous situations where there was little to no chance of actual survival. But they do that in movies all the time to. And at least in this book they get hurt "alot". Most action movies they walk thru walls of bullets and never get so much as a graze. So that actually made it a lot more believable for me. You will love the characters. She writes them in a way that allows the reader to become close to them. You will find you self smile when the do or cry when they do. That is vital to writing a book like this. The only real criticism I have is the protagonist did get on my nerves a little. I mean she is suppose to be a superior survivalist above all else. And I don't know about u but to me that mean a person who is smart. Can think on their feet and has sound judgement. A quick learner and rarely makes the same mistake twice. This would not be how I would describe her at all. She was rash and made life threatening dicisions at the drop of a hat for no other reason than she was having a temper tantrum. Which the story does exsplain a temper issue. But I couldn't help feel like if she was even half the survivor they made her out to be. She should have figured out that regardless of who she was mad at or upset with that was not the way to go! I would have liked for her to have been smarter in that respect. And having the exact same mistrust and reaction to it with the love intrest over & over again became quite annoying as well. I understand she is young and I am sure that was what the author was trying to remind us of. But it was a little to repetitive for me. So 4 stars instead of 5. And with that said I still loved these books and highly recommend them. And I say books because at this point I have read all 3 books and the alternative ending as well. And they are all worth it and I do recommend them all!!!!
