The Thousandth Floor

Edit: I keep lowering my rating on here because the more I think about it, the more I dislike this book and all it stands for.

To be honest when I first read this I thought it wasn't too bad, you know? It was okay, enjoyable at times and I liked the ending - but that is never enough. This book was goddamn mess, and honestly it should have been way better than it was.

The characters in this book infuriated me and I only liked one of the perspectives, which is poor considering how many we're given, we're given way too many perspectives. Every other perspective we're given is either boring or just pretentious and full of strange descriptions and wording. None of these people but perhaps two of them captured my interest, the rest felt too whiny and bitchy for my liking.

The Romance in this book. Don't get me started. I don't even know what to say about the romance, it was just boring people pining after other boring people with one positive relationship that shined through. Also, it felt that at times some relationships were just thrown into here for the drama, and there were so underdeveloped when they could have been great.

The drama in this book also doesn't live up to any of my expectations. It felt like I was reading what a thirteen year old thinks being eighteen is like, do you know what I mean? Also, a lot of the drama in this revolved one boring guy who made me want to scream - he was the type of character you would like if you love Edward from Twilight, if you don't you're going to want to punch him. You know what's awful as well? The only drama you're interested in is what happens in a flashforward in the prologue which literally does not happen until the end of the book and that's it, that's the only interesting thing to happen.

Honestly, what I'm trying to say is this book has so much potential, but it just fell flat on every level. If you want to know what happens in this book don't bother buying it, just read a spoiler filled review as I will be doing for the sequels to this.

Change finish date

I'm so conflicted. I was hoping for more serious things, although it did end that way the biggest part of this book was just drama between friends. Keeping track of who is dating who again also took some legit effort. 

The whole thing with Avery and Atlas was also just not great. What is it with authors writing about ‘technically' not incest couples. This weird kink needs to be kept out of books. And that is their only struggle in all this. How am I supposed to sympathise with that.

I also really don't like that Leda didn't die. I hoped she'd be the one falling down the building. Her character sucks and I get that it's a whole addiction thing, but besides that she also just isn't a likable person. Only Merial, Watt and Cord were characters that I kinda liked. And they didn't get all that much attention. 

I'm really torn about the sequels. No idea if I wanna read those. 

After five years of sitting around on my bookshelves, I figured it was finally time to pick up this book and omigod every bad review of this book is wrong. I mean, there is no plot and all the characters are awful people, but I survive off of drama and this book has given me more energy then my daily naps ever will.

Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl but in a futuristic sky rise city. There are five perspective characters, three of which are nearly identical rich girls. It's exhausting to keep them straight. The prologue has an unnamed girl falling from the top floor. By the time the story reaches that point again, I was still getting characters mixed up enough that it took me a bit to be sure who it was.

A dumb future is better than this dystopian present, so I'll probably continue the series. But I'll probably wish I hadn't.

I have mixed feeling about this, I have never read a dystopian that isn't about saving the world, and have an evil ruler. And I liked the future and tech side of this book the most, I didn't know that there is an incest love story, if I had I wouldn't have read this, despite one of my ALL TIME FAV Series has an incest love story, I don't think anyone can write it beautifully and make me ship it.
The characters that I liked were only two of the entire cast, they're Avery and Watt, Atlas I didn't know much about so I can't say whether I dislike him or not.
this gave me the vibe of Gossip Girl which I don't like, and I don't see, myself continuing on with this series, but anyone who's interested in this should try listening to the audiobook, it makes it easy to follow through.

2 stars

Um... wow. I don't think I've been that uncomfortable and horrified in a while.

I find the second half most interesting than the first one, because it encourages me to keep reading the rest of the novels due to the anxious feelings and adrenaline I experienced reading this part. It seems to be a young adult novel but I know everybody could enjoy it. 3.5/5.0.

“The Thousandth Floor” is the first in a trilogy written by Katharine McGee. The novel is based in a thousand floor building in New York City, the richer you are the higher up you are in the tower. The novel follows five main characters who live in this tower. Throughout the novel the five teenage struggle to find their place at the top of this tower. The novel is a science fiction novel with high-tech luxury. Throughout the novel we are trying to find out who of the five had died at the beginning of the novel.

This novel was really odd for me. I found one of the romantic relationships kinda gross. I didn't enjoy this novel that much. I gave this a 2/5 Stars, I will not be continuing with this trilogy. I don't really care about anyone in this book.

3.5 stars.
Enjoyed it more than i thought i would. :)

kwam er heel slecht doorheen. ben sowiezo geen fan van boeken met meerdere p.o.v's, maar vond het zonde om op 70% te stoppen met lezen...
