Don’t get noticed.
Or else.
I’m Trella. A Scrub. A nobody, living in on the inside, doing my job, being noticed only by my friend Cog. But when I accidentally start a rebellion and becomes a go-to girl for the revolution, nothing will be the same on Inside, or Outside.
Inside Out is a really cool book. I like the idea of inside versus outside and that everyone has their own duties and their place in this society.
I thought the characters were interesting, but I didn’t care for most of them at first. I get why they acted the way they did, but they did start to grow on me as the book progressed.
I wasn’t expecting them to be on a spaceship. Underground, maybe. But not on a spaceship. Which actually makes a lot of sense now that I think about it, with the pipes and how self-sustaining they are.
I’m curious as to how they ended up there, and what their history is. What’ll happen Week # 1 million? What is outside? The world Snyder built is really interesting, and while there isn’t a lot of backstory, inside felt like a real place.
It did take a while to get going, but once it did, it was hard to put down.
Some things- like Trella’s family history or the romance- felt a little forced, and was the most predictable part of the book.
It gets a 4 out of 5. It could have had a few more details, but overall, it was a fun read.
