WOW. The last time I read something, this engaging, this exciting, was when I read Hunger Games. I kid you not. At first, it did not seem like an action kind of story at all, but as I went along, the story gets better and more action packed. Variant is not some generic YA novel; it was an awesome, original, read with twists and turns that you will never, ever, EVER expect. It is amazing!

The plot was good to start with. I can honestly say it kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning, but by the end of the book, I was completely out of my seat and jumping up and down. (Figuratively, of course) Maybe this is the greatest testament to how much I am in love with this book: I don't like giving out five stars at ALL. I am trying to work on being a more critical reviewer. But I could not give this book anything less. It deserves six stars, in my opinion. I haven't said that of any book but HG.

And gosh! That ending--I won't give anything away for those of you who haven't been fortunate enough to read Variant, but let's just say that I had Feedback, Variant's sequel, on hold at my library literally two minutes after finishing this book. And no, that's NOT an exaggeration. I was expecting a cliché, happily-ever-after kind of closing. But the cliffhanger that Robinson Wells wrote could not have been more shocking, more fantastic! He should teach other authors to write endings; I can't emphasize how spectacular it was! I know for a fact I will be staying up tonight, thinking about this book. I have never read any of this author's books before, but Variant has made me a die hard fan. I think one word sums up Variant: awesome.
