Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonise the planet. It could be their second chance at life or it could be a suicide mission. Confronted with a savage land and haunted by their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.

Personally, I loved this book despite the bad reviews it has. I read it faster than I expected because I couldn't bear to put it down. It is full of action and had plenty of mystery for the reader to get caught up in. 

The writing style was quite simplistic at times but I felt like it didn't take away from the story for me. Most of  times the writing style was simple when the characters were taking to each other which was understandable because they are teenagers trying to survive on a nuclear planet. The descriptive language in this book was beautiful and made me want to go outside and walk through a forest. Kass Morgan managed to capture a sunset in words and place it on a page in a beautiful way.

The book is split into four different POVs which showed the reader more of the world that we are in. Surprisingly the large amount of perspectives din't get confusing because each character had a different way of reacting to what was happening in the world. It was also nice to see the same situation from several different people who had different way of looking at the world.

I think this book would be more enjoyable as an companion novel to the TV series. As I was reading this book, I was thinking back to the TV series a lot during this book which may have enhanced my reading experience a little. This book could almost be an AU book for the TV series because it is similar to the TV series but different things become canon. 

I loved this book. The 100 is one of my favourite TV series at the moment so I really enjoyed this book. However I feel like there is a chance you may not enjoy this book if you don't watch the TV show as well. It adds to the characters in the book, because you don't actually learn about the characters' past through the book. Apart from that I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick and fun read, with a more sinister undertone.
