Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

Alvin woke in a room that was not his, to discover that he had died and his brain had been bargained off cheaply to pay off someone else’s debt. It did not sit well with him. It didn’t surprise him that even in death, people were still using him for their own purposes. He had never exactly been a good guy, but everyone had their breaking point, and he had found his. The bastards in charge had uploaded his mind into a virtual death game. The whole world could now pay to see him play it and probably die. Regardless, he was not about to wait for death to come for him.

Alex is dead. Dead and apparently with a one-way ticket to a place that only the worst of the worst go. All for a simple choice he made about a product his company owned. Damned for all time. Luckily for him, he’s about to be given a chance. Another choice to make. He can instead return to the land of the living, though his soul would belong to another. Except the world he’s being sent to isn’t the same one he came from. It’s not even a similar period in time, but from something long past in history. The dark ages.

Immortal until you're Gleaned
- By G. Grimsley on 06-27-17
Publisher's Summary
In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. Gone. Except for the young. There are teens, but not one single adult. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no Internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents - unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers - that grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: on your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else.
Michael Grant's Gone has been praised for its compelling storytelling, multidimensional characters, and multiple points of view.

I wish I had other reviews before starting
The narrator was terrible, but only because of the forceful way he would say " Sam SAID" or whichever character he was referring to. It was extremely annoying and distracting! But still enjoyed the book.

Kyle McCarley
What other book might you compare Gone to and why?
Hunger games and
What didn’t you like about Kyle McCarley’s performance?
He sounds like he lost a bet and is forced to read the whole series. He gives characters (who are like 14-15 years old) the voice of a chain smoker, and every time he otters the phrase :He said/she said, he reminds me of the 1 teacher off of southpark that says "Ummkaaay?" after every sentence.
Was Gone worth the listening time?
despite Kyle McCarley’s performance, yes
Any additional comments?
there are actually a version of these books I have herd read by a woman who is not a professional and is monotone for days....I kinda preferred her version

Please review how the reader says the word, SAID.....there are a LOT of them in the book and they are irritating to listen to!
Any additional comments?
I have listened to this book and am still at the beginning, but I am hitting my head on the desk because of the way the reader says the word, SAID! Oh my God....doe he have to emphasize it so?? I am considering stopping this series as I cannot imagine listening to that many books read by the same guy and hear all the ... "Saids" pronounced that way!! It seems he reads them all....and there are something like 6 books? Really?? OMG!

The book was amazing!10/10! But the audio was not
Would you consider the audio edition of Gone to be better than the print version?
No, in the end reading the actual book would have been the better option! If the narrator did not sound automated then maybe!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sam, duh!
What three words best describe Kyle McCarley’s performance?
The audio was ok. The narrator was not at all superb! The way he said "Sam said" or "Astrid said" make me feel like I was listening to an automated voice message! When listening to audiobooks, I'd like to feel more immersed in the story! But his way of reading was machine like!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes of course! The battle of thanksgiving was so live like I felt as though I was there!!!!
Any additional comments?
Amazing book! Micheal Grant outdid himself in this series! Can't wait to read book two!

Narrator too absolute on when character "said"
Where does Gone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
7 Read series but was hoping for better narrator because the story is so good.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gone?
mindset of children
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle McCarley?
Therese Plummer
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
