Helpful Score: 1
This book took forever to get interesting. I almost put it down in disgust...twice. Though I'm glad I persevered since it turned out to be a good story though it got rather boring with all the boxing training first with Tommy and then with Loup. As a rule I don't enjoy dystopian novels but this one was ok eventually once the action kicked up a notch.
There was some kind of virus that originated in Mexico and everyone who could fled across the border into Texas. The US military built a 50 square mile wall surrounding the area to keep them out and to keep the inflicted in. The main sport (recreation) was boxing with the prize of escape if anyone actually beat the champion...which of course no one ever did as the matches were fixed. The first half of the book is boring as it tells of Loup and Tommy's mother and her life. The second half relates Tommy and Loup's story which is much more interesting. It ended well enough that I will definitely read the second book in the series.
