Descrizione
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.

the only reason i give it 5 stars is because it actually helped me get out of a reading slump and for that, i'm really grateful. i ordered the next three so i'm super excited to read some more!
I'm kind of mad?I mean the idea behind the book is pretty great and interesting but i did not like the writing at all .All i can think about is that this book had the potential to be so much more.And i just hated the fact that the Main female character was going back and forth between two guys? I mean she thought that she was one of the first human to walk on earth in hundreds of years and she was mostly thinking about wether to be with guy number 1 or guy number 2.
As someone who typically always enjoys the book over a film adaptation, I was disappointed when reading The 100. I couldn’t help but laugh while reading the book because I couldn’t stop think about how different the book is from the series. It was as if writers of the Tv series reading the back of the book then threw it in some corner to gather dust. I defiantly enjoyed the tv series way more than the books. When I picked up the book I was expecting an book about trying to survive on Earth after the apocalypse, but instead I was faced with a boat load of romance. (It was like, Oh No not enough food?!?!? Whatever, we can survive on love alone!!!! Uh oh, some dangerous mystery disease?!?!? Who cares as long as they have each other!!) Any interesting or thrilling parts of the book were overshadowed by the shit ton of romance being shoved down our throats. Yet for some reason, I still enjoyed parts of the book, but I would recommend that anyone who wants to read the book and watch the series, read the book first as to not be as disappointed as I was while reading the book. In my opinion, the tv show was way better with much better characters and a more interesting plot.
