Crit Appertaining To Books Among the Free (Shadow Children #7)

This series is so awesome!!! Here's some stuff about it. There is a law that you can only have two children. A boy named Luke is a third childand he hides his whole life. Until he sees a person one day in a yard of one of the new mansions by his house after everyone was gone. Its another third child!!!

A conclusion, of sorts, to the Shadow Children series, Among the Free finds Luke, once again in the midst of danger as an supposed uprising of the rebels takes place at the Population Police Headquarters. Surprisingly, he finds Oscar, Smits bodyguard, leading the way. But, when he overhears Oscar negotiating with Krakenauer, the evil leader of the Population Police, Luke has his doubts about Oscars sincerity to help Third Children. He listens to Jen in his head telling him to fight and be brave.

4.5 stars. The series as a whole is 5+stars!! Loved it from the beginning to the end!

I loved this series, but was pretty disappointed in the finish. In the first six books, the author painstakingly developed a dozen or so complex, unique, honest characters. I really hoped that the last book (or even the last two) would show them all working together to accomplish the goal of freeing the illegal third children. Instead we get a few days of Luke/Lee wandering through the woods and wallowing in self-doubt. Finally in the last chapter, he dramatically takes the stage to boldly

I got tired of writing reviews for the entire series, so I'm just going to wrap it all up in one concise review. The series was well-done and exciting. There were plenty of times that I had to suspend my disbelief, but it WAS written for teens after all. I think what kept me reading was not just the action, but the horrid realization that a government who controls population, controls farming, food, and many other aspects of life while allowing the rich and powerful to abstain from the laws is

So, to finish off the dystopian challenge month, I tore through the Shaddow Children series by Haddix. I really liked the concept for the series, and I enjoyed seeing it progress from different POV in each of the books. I must admit I was growing a bit tired of the cat-and-mouse game by the 5th book, so I decided to skip over book 6 and just get to the ending! Ive been waiting for these poor kids and their families and friends to finally be free, and for the repulsive form of government the

So this is how it ends....After reading every installment in this series I have come to the conclusion that Luke was my least favorite third child. In one of the last pages it described third children as timid, but Jen Talbot, a third child, was not timid. Alia, a very young third child, was not timid, and neither was Percy. Luke was timid...and annoying. He got on my nerves when he wanted to join forces with the kid who traveled with him to Chiutza. If that kid would have asked Luke would have
