The Hive
The Hive | Barry Lyga, Morgan Baden, Jennifer Beals, Tom Jacobson
10 posts | 6 read | 12 to read
Cassie McKinney has always believed in the Hive. Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers. Even hackers --- like Cassie's dad --- were powerless against it. But then the Hive came. A better way to sanction people for what they do online. Cause trouble, get too many "condemns," and a crowd can come after you, teach you a lesson in real life. It's safer, fairer and perfectly legal. Entering her senior year of high school, filled with grief over an unexpected loss, Cassie is primed to lash out. Egged on by new friends, she makes an edgy joke online. Cassie doubts anyone will notice. But the Hive notices everything. And as her viral comment whips an entire country into a frenzy, the Hive demands retribution. One moment Cassie is anonymous; the next, she's infamous. And running for her life. With nowhere to turn, she must learn to rely on herself --- and a group of Hive outcasts who may not be reliable --- as she slowly uncovers the truth about the machine behind the Hive. New York Times bestselling authors Barry Lyga and Morgan Baden have teamed up for the first time to create a novel that's gripping, terrifying and more relevant every day.

This book dropped the ball big time for me. I was enjoying the first 100 pages. It was feeling Hunger Games mixed with Black Mirror. But, the main character got so annoying and selfish that I couldn't take it anymore. Absolutely ruined the book for me. This could have been a great view on hive mind mentality in society. There were so many great things said about how society acts in these situations. I could not read from the MCs POV anymore. 2.5/5

Mehso-so

It was such a great idea with mediocre execution. I definitely enjoyed it and read it quickly, it just wasn't amazing. I love books about technology and how it affects us as people, citizens and society, which this book definitely hit. But I felt like the plot was rushed and was super predictable, you knew who the bad guys were, what was going to happen, who would die well before it was revealed.

I was pretty excited to get to see Barry Lyga compete in a literary deathmatch.

Lyga writes some good mysteries for teens. This is his newest undertaking, and his brightest cover ever. I think the cover is a bit plain. It feels like a quick throw together, but the story sounds interesting.

Guys, this has turned out to be way better than I first expected. Y‘all should check it out. It seemed overly dramatic at first but I‘m really enjoying it now and sad that I‘m almost done with it. I also have the feeling that certain people in the book were based on real life people. #sarcasm #arc #netgalley #reviewathon

Has anybody read The Hive yet? Do you think the reaction to her comment is a bit extreme?

The page I‘m closest to filling up in my challenge. I can‘t remember who I was supposed to tag in this challenge though. 😝 I haven‘t been looking for books to specifically fit these criteria though. I read my ARCs, library books and audiobooks as I get them and then see if they fit a category.

Sometimes you have to improvise with duct tape when you have resourceful kibble and pill thieves around the house. #fostering I have mixed feelings about my current read. #NetGalley #readathon
