The Unwanteds

This is a must-read! McMann succeeds to reach out and grab the reader in the first sentence. This tale is described as "The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter" but I'd say its so original it breaks apart from its two "parents." Intriguing and hooking! Nice work, Lisa.

The Unwanteds was good, not great, but good. I was enticed by the review on the front claiming that The Unwanteds was like Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games. Those are both series that I loved so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a decent story line for a tween, but I wanted just a little bit more.

After having read other so called dystopia books, my expectations for The Unwanteds were very low. I was pleasantly pleased to find I enjoyed this book. It has just the right mix of dystopia, action, interesting characters and fantasy to keep a fan of the genre entertained.

great book! great description! great cover page! great for all ages! great author! great everything! loved this book. buy it and read it. so worth it! no matter who's reading this, you'll love this book! I promise!

I loved how a young boy is considered "unwanted", but ends up finding a great world that is all centered around imagination! It makes me want to be "unwanted" in order to visit such an awesome place!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a good read. Sadly, I couldn't get into the second one in the series and so never finished it. So, for me, this will probably be the only one of the series that I read.

This book is a must for kids. Purchased this book for my 10 year old son who loves Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. He is not an avid reader but he loves this book and now wants to read the entire series. I have read the book as well and find it well written - the author has done a fantastic job of creating a magical world with relate-able characters.

I love this book. The suspense, the good vs. evil, the friendships and the unexpected alliances. It also shows that what we think is not always the way something truly is in real life. I read the whole book in less than 48 hours.
