"De la PeNa has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel."-Entertainment Weekly, A- "Action is first and foremost. . . . De la PeNa can uncork delicate but vivid scenes." 'The New York Times "There's no way to classify The Living. It's everything I love mixed into one fantastic, relentless, action-packed story. As always with Matt, the characters are the best part. So real. I loved this book."-James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series and The Eye of Minds "There's so much to love here--the multiple storylines, the mystery, the political undertones--but what I love most is the main character, Shy. The Living is a thrilling and scary ride."-Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy "A thrilling, emotional roller coaster ride! Matt De La PeNa at his best!"-Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of Perfect Chemistry [Star] "An addictive page-turner and character-driven literary novel with broad appeal for fans of both."-Kirkus Reviews, Starred [Star] "An excellent, enthralling ride.a great read for those looking for adventure and survival stories."-VOYA, Starred "De la PeNa (I Will Save You) delivers near-constant action, a high body count, and a compelling cast of characters in this socially aware thriller."-Publisher's Weekly "PeNa takes the time to establish some solid rapport among his characters before unleashing the mayhem, though, and the central disease and drug scam is so viciously immoral that readers will probably book passage on the upcoming sequel, to learn whether Shy and his two smokin'-hot love interests will bring the bad guys to their knees."-The Bulletin "Adventure survival enthusiasts will relish the vivid and raw descriptions of the sinking ship, blistering sun, and shark-infested waters. But most appealing is the empathetic teen, portrayed as a tough guy with a romantic side, who will appeal to both males and females, and is likely to appear in the upcoming sequel."-School Library Journal "A straight-up tour de force, a breathless, horrifying dash into the void.he fun of de la PeNa's latest is how unexpectedly he blends genres, making this, in a sense, four books in one: a finely observed social-class drama, an on-the-sea survival adventure, a global-disaster book, and a contagion thriller."-Booklist From the Hardcover edition."@en
