Pure is another YA dsytopian novel and I know it seems that we have been inundated with post-apocalyptic novels, but this one is really worth a read. Baggot has created a world that is gruesome with the reality of what could happen if we use biochemical bombs. Living creatures would fuse with whatever they are touching. If, for example, you were talking on your cell phone your cell phone would be fused to your head – it becomes a part of you – and your hand would be fused to the phone. You would be in that position forever – if you survived the detonations. Baggot's world is visually creepy and stunning in its rich details.

The characters are diverse and Pressia the main protagonist is not your typical hero. She is a young girl who has just turned 16 which means she will be rounded up by the militia and deemed worthy to live – all she wants to do is survive. In her struggle to be free she collects an eclectic group of people who will be called on to fight for their right to live and to possibly change the world.

Pure is the first part of a three part series and I can’t wait for the second book Fuse to be released in February 2013. If you are a fan of dystopian novels, you will love this unique book.

I won this recently and have just started it. really enjoying it so far...
