Wither

Wither is written  by  Lauren DeStefano. Wither is a trilogy, her third book should be coming out soon. This creepy, sci-fi books  background is a new generations of males and femalest that  are produced. However they don't get to live very long, as the book tells it, they're all ticking time bombs. Most males will live up to the age 25 and females will live up to 20. The reason this virus is passed on is the first generations of humans cured  cancer, and there was no more disease to cure. This was a perfect human race, until something went horribly  wrong,  now the first generations are seeking a miracle antidote. The world has turned into a scary place, Gatherers are paid by the Housemasters to kidnaps girls, and get them pregnant. To make matters worse the girls  get sold as a polygamous bride. Housemasters are huge owners of a mansions.

The main character Rhine has  turned sixteen, and  currently has four years to live until she dies. Scary right? Anyway Rhine gets kidnapped and trapped. At the beginning, she vows to escape and hate the men who have captured her. It turns out to be harder than she expected though, Linden, who is  her husband begins to love Rhine more than ever. You would think this was a perfect life?

No, this whole life is an illusion, When you first look at the mansion it would seem like a reglular place. However there is more trouble and secrecy than any house Rhine's ever been too. when Rhine starts to forget her deadline she meets Vaugnn, her father-in-law, who is an eccentric doctor determined to find a miracle antidote.  Vaugnn is mysterious and full of surprises.  Rhine  describes him as "Cockroaches going down my spine."

 Rhine isn't the only sister wife, either  she must  escape while avoiding  her sister wives, because theres days  where Rhine can trust her sister wives, and the next day she's freaked out by them. There is one person who Rhine can trust though, and that is Gabriel. He is one of the loyal servants of Linden, he becomes friends with Rhine  quickly. Daylight is running out, because Rhine must escape before her seventeenth birthday. She must also find her twin brother, who is hopefully still looking for Rhine.  The big question now is will she escape before her deadline comes short or die trying? In this dangerous world, with crime unpredictable, with no birth control pills. Can there be any freedom for a girl like Rhine?

Wither brings suspense with a slice of romance, this book teaches you a lot about enjoying life. How even if life throws you down, you can always get back up strong. When you first read about the plot, you don't have to worry. Lauren DeStefano wrote this book brilliantly. Nothing is ever revealing, all you have to do is enjoy the book and READ.

This also shows a prediction for  our world how it might  end, What will happen when we run out of oil? When we run out of diseases to cure?Will we have to go through the same ordeal? I hope not, all of these Post-Apoctalyptic books are all predictions of how the human race will die. Can you imagine if your a male, and getting paid to capture innocent girls or  girls scared of the world because it needs us to produce and continue the human race?  This may be a scary world now, but we could have it worse in the future. This book shows how picturesque Rhine's world is, but in reality there's something horribly wrong with it.

Wither is memorable because it shows you there's more to life than dying, and to make the most out of it. Wither has affected me by knowing how lucky we are to have trusted people around us. How theres more dangers in the world than good. How you must be careful when you make decisions in life. Wither will keep your heart beating with suspence, and remind you to live life carefully, and how your decisions  will affect your daily life.
