Catch Inside Out (Insider, #1) Presented By Maria V. Snyder Expressed As E-Text

spannend boek waar ik vanaf de eerste bladzijde helemaal in meegezogen werd, Ik had dan ook niet anders verwacht van een van mijn favoriete schrijfsters Sigh
I guess I'm in that minority that hates a book that everyone else loves.
. . yet again. I mean honestly, was I just destined to be that pessimistic I guess so, But excuse me for liking real and quality literature, Oh well, guess it's more fun to hate something then to like it,

Writing Style
Okay Ms Snyder, I will hand you something, You do know how to hold attention, The start intrigued me and was very climatic, . . except that sense of resolve was on every page of the book, It was just frustrating and annoying that I felt like I was getting nowhere, Which made the climatic, anticlimatic, You know that terrifying feeling when you think that the book has a happy ending, but there's still too many pages left Well that's every chapter in this book.
'nough said.

Characters
Trella, I hate her. Broken Man. I feel sorry, but still hate him, Cog. I liked him he died. Because of Trella. I really hate Trella.
Trella is a selfcentered bitch, She doesn't follow the rules and he just causes problems for everyone, She treats the only person who likes her like shit and then she wonders why no one likes her, And what's up with the sleeping in the pipes thing Honestly, Besides, this is the first heroine I have met that has the solutions handed to her on a silver platter, on the forms of inventions and computer data.
She just has to crawl through some pipes, That's it. End of story.
Broken Man is manipulative and will do anything to get revenge, He's not doing anything for the greater good, He just is using selfish ideas and weak minds to get what he wants, And I hate a bully,
Cog. I loved Cog. The only character I liked, And he died. No big scene for him either, Just pop and gone. He didn't deserve to die like that, Sucked into space. Trella should have gone first, Cog could've easily done everything and more without being a bitch about it, like Trella was,

Summary
Let me summaries the book I hate people except my best friend, crawl through some pipes, talk to broken man, crawl through pipes, steal something, crawl through pipes, meet a guy, crawl through some more pipes, talk to Cogon, and you guessed it, crawl through some more pipes.
This girl has nothing heroic about her other then the fact that she can crawl through a pipe, I was really disappointed by this book andquarters through the book that I haven't achieved anything in the plot line of the book.
There was two chapters of excitement at the end and that was it and when your finished your rewarded with the fact that the "inside" is a spaceship.
A spaceship. I almost threw the book across the room, I'm disappointed and not reading the sequel,

Thank you Snyder, for yet again, showing me how writers waste my time, This is one of my longest owned unread books and I really wish that Id gotten to it sooner because it was great! It wasnt perfect and definitely contained the usual tropes that youd expect from a dystopian novel.
But I still really enjoyed it!

Its been a long time since I read a dystopian that evoked feelings similar to when I read The Hunger Games, Legend and Divergent the series that I consider to be the “classic dystopians”.
This book came pretty damn close to doing that, The author did an amazing job at creating high stakes suspense and tension and maintaining that throughout the book,

I really enjoyed the unique and interesting setting of this book, The concept of how time was measured a bit confusing at first but definitely something cool and different, Finding out that weve only barely scratched the surface and theres so much more to discover

about this world only makes me more excited for the second book.


There were quite a few plot twists some of which I found predictable but that ending completely threw me and gave the potential for the series to go in a wholly different direction.
Especially since the controlling rulers were already overthrown and changes to the societal structures were already implemented in this book.
Theres still potential for plenty of conflict in the newly established governing system but also potential to explore the unknown world of the Outside.
Inside Out is definitely totally different from Synders Study series, but set in a fascinating new world that I was drawn into from the very beginning.


Inside is an intriguing place, Divided into four levels, it is the home of the uppers and lowers, also called scrubs, and a wonder of modern technology.
Especially the scrubs suffer from shortage of space and the constant presence of the Pop Cops, who ensure that everything runs smoothly and according to the Controllers orders.


Trella is a scrub and works as a cleaner in the pipes of Inside, She mostly keeps to herself and wishes for only one thing: to have some privacy and to be left alone with hopes for escape and a better life Outside.
But then a new prophet claims he knows the location of a Gateway, and the only thing Trella wants to do is prove him wrong.
But soon afterwards, she finds herself caught up in the beginnings of a revolution and all her beliefs about herself and her fellow Insiders are challenged

The first half of the book is a bit slow, but I thought that this was more than compensated by the vivid and detailed descriptions of Inside and Trellas life there.

Trella was a fascinating heroine, Introverted and disillusioned at the beginning, she begins to make new friends and to trust and appreciate those close to her slowly.
You could watch her grow throughout the novel and abandon some of her prejudices, but she always stayed true to herself,
The romance plot was very small, but felt genuine to me, However, I found the development a bit too hurried at the end, Snyder could definitely have left some of that open for the next volume,
The secondary characters were sometimes less developed, but intriguing nevertheless, I liked that you could never truly know if somebody was a dedicated rebel or a traitorous spy, It kept up a constant suspense,
The ending totally took me by surprise, Inside Out definitely has left many questions open that I hope will be further explored in sitelinkOutside In, the sequel coming out in.


All in all, the only complaints I have: Sometimes, solutions to problems came rather easily with the help of new inventions or the discovery of some computer data, which I found a bit unrealistic and often a little hard to follow.

Also, the heroine's voice was just a tad too young for me, makng this almost middle grade material although Trella is around.

Nevertheless, I'll be reading the sequel,
