Publisher's summary

No one has set foot on Earth in centuries - until now.

Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents - considered expendable by society - are being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonize the planet. It could be their second chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission.

Clarke was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory of what she really did. Wells, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves - but will she ever forgive him? Reckless Bellamy fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister, the other half of the only pair of siblings in the universe. And Glass managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.

Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.

Not like the Show

After watching the show I just had to find the book. I would say I enjoy the show more then the book, but if I just focus on the book it was still an interesting plot with different characters.
Would you recommend it to someone else?
I would yeah, you don't have to be into science fiction to enjoy this book, although it has the typical Y/A writing and plot so if you're not into those this isn't for you. I am not one of those big romantic people, I don't like flat out romantic books where it's the main thing, this has the right amount of romance, and with interesting characters.
What were one of the more negative things in the book?
There was moments where you were unsure what they were talking about, or more like when they are talking about stuff. The flashbacks came out of no where with nothing to give you a heads up. I don't know if this is due to the author or the narrators who didn't let you know when they would change between now and flashbacks
All and all it is a good book with an interesting story and I will continue on the second book.

loved it ... more detail than the show of course

loved it and going to read the next book right now thank you for it.

Loved it!

This is one of my very favorite stories. The performances from both narrators is on point. Kass Morgan created a great universe.

I do understand this is YA

As some one who writes YA. I found the characters just kinda there. Maybe its the performance but the emotion in the words never seems protrayed properly. The nareators are clear and precise, but just kinda lack emotion. For such heavy material I feel like it could of been done much better. Tho I find most of the character reactions and line well written and never out of place.
I am a fan of the world building in the story immensley its my faveorite part. So many interesting ideas brought up. the insite in how the government works. its brilliant.

good book

I understand why others like the TV series better, but I still really enjoyed this book

eh

the book was okay but there wasn’t much of a plot?? idk. could have been more well written. show is way better.

I like the book and the CW series.

its fun to listen tho the book and watch what they do with the TV series.

Definitely not the CW version

I’m into it, been watching the CW show for a few years and I really love those characters so I decided to see how they were portrayed in the books...The 100 is basically its own thing. The show story is different but the same, All the characters are the same but different and their dynamics are way different. there are characters in the show that are missing in the books and vice versa. All in all I am enjoying the books.. although I do miss Murphy and Ravens characters from the show:(

Just the beginning

This is just the beginning, barely setting anything up at this point. I still really enjoyed it though!

Hoping it doesn’t derail like the show

I really enjoyed the first season or few of the show but it progressively got worse near the end and that last season was complete garbage. I am hoping the book series doesn’t take a steep nosedive like the show did. So far I’m enjoying it. It’s not amazing writing but it’s fun and easy to get sucked in to.
