One of the books I read during the summer is The Last One By Alexandra Oliva. I first discovered this book in an article online and decided to borrow it because the summary was very interesting in my opinion. The book exceeded my expectations with its fascinating storyline and it’s interesting characters. These characters are contestants of a reality show, where they are sent into the woods to attempt to outlast each other in order to win a prize. However, disaster strikes in the outside world and the contestants know nothing about it. The book ends in a cliffhanger and I hope that the author will write another book to continue this one.
I’ll have to admit that The Last One is was slightly confusing to me. “Incompetency and panic collide. …show more content…
“I’m confident that whatever they do, they won’t do it until later. They’ll wait until I’m asleep- or nearly asleep- to strike. That’s how they do it; they blur the line between reality and nightmare. They give me bad dreams, and then they make them come true.” (The Last One By Alexandra Oliva - Chapter 13, Page 162) Reading The Last One has made me think: What would happen if I woke up one day to a world that was so different from what I was used to? Or if everyone I knew suddenly disappeared? What would happen if I was put into a dystopian world like the characters were? If I was put into the same situations that the characters were put into, I honestly couldn’t imagine myself surviving on my own or to be able adapt to a new life so quickly as the characters from the book did, not to mention having to adapt to an unfamiliar world within all the madness.
All in all, The Last One By Alexandra Oliva is a remarkable book full of adventure and mystery. It’s a wonderfully terrifying story fill to the brim with complicated characters, all with a story of their own. I really enjoyed the change of genre from what I usually read, and The Last One made me envision situations that I’ve never thought of before. I wouldn’t hesitate to read this book again and again, and that’s why The Last One By Alexandra Oliva is the best book I’ve read this
