Order To Kill Hope [Book Review]

By Austin Seay

Published: September 12, 2012

If there is one good thing I can say about James Dashner’s “The Kill Order” is that it was unique. This book seems to have a personal vendetta against any emotion but soul-shattering despair. The book takes place after solar flares destroy most all of civilization. Just as things seem to look up, a new disease breaks out, driving all insane.

Overall, development was weak, the story was slow to progress, and the dialogue of the action scenes were ridiculous. As interesting as the premise was, most of the time I felt sad and bored. If you want a good action-survival, this isn’t it.
