Peter gets his chance when his grandfather and head of Pincent Pharma offers him a position at the company. They both want to see the Declaration a thing of the past. Peter and Anna work for the Underground whenever they can. Peter and Anna aren’t comfortable being Legal yet and find the stares and nasty comments coming from the other citizens unsettling. He and Anna live together with Ben, Anna’s brother, in a run down house trying to keep out of the way. It picks up where THE DECLARATION leaves off and is told through Peter’s eyes. THE RESISTANCE is the much anticipated sequel to THE DECLARATION. PS.The kid on the cover reminds me of Zachary Ty Bryan. I can already guess where it's going to go ("forever people" are dying!). I had book three on hand, but I don't think I'm going to bother. Hello? The 14-year-old girl is pregnant and we're excited about this? Have we gone back to the Middle Ages?Īnyway, the first 2/3 was boring, then it got a little messed up, then it got boring again. If all the Surpluses were sterilized, then why the hell were the girls having periods back at Grange Hall? Why were the nights of sleeping on the floor during menstruation not mentioned? Then we find out that Anna is pregnant and everyone is so happy and excited for her. While we're on the subject of pregnancy, Anna is stupid. We already felt bad that she got left behind in the last book, so now the author has to drag poor Sheila out and have her impregnated with 12 fetuses?!? What. But I found that the author's choice of using Sheila to be a little manipulative. Okay, I get it-the Surpluses aren't really human, so we can experiment on them.
The last 100 pages got really graphic and voyeuristic. But I digress, I was so relieved when Anna signed it so that the story could move on!!! She shouldn't have her Declaration anyway. Why did the pair have their Declarations, anyway? Peter is a year older than Anna, so he was the one turning 16 Anna would only be 14 or 15. The first 200 pages could be summed up as "should we or should we not sign the Declaration?" That's it. Now she's taking care of a baby and cooking nice meals and acting like a regular ol' Legal? How does Anna even know how to do anything? She said in the last book that she only knew that babies cried. Yes, the 15- and 14-year-old are playing house, including all the grown-up aspects of that. Peter and Anna are living together, taking care of Anna's one-year-old brother, Ben. This book is the sequel to The Declaration, and picks up pretty much right after it.
