RESEÑA: STARTERS DE LISSA PRICE
SINOPSIS: ¿Venderías tu juventud con tal de sobrevivir?
Callie perdió a sus padres cuando las guerras de las Esporas aniquilaron a todos los que tenían entre 20 y 60 años. Ahora es una starter, una adolescente que vive en la calle como una vagabunda y lucha por sobrevivir. Su única esperanza es Destinos de Plenitud, una inquietante empresa que contrata a adolescentes para que alquilen sus cuerpos a los enders, ancianos que quieren volver a ser jóvenes. Callie se hace donante, pero el neurochip que lleva en la cabeza se estropea y despierta en la ostentosa y lujosa vida de la ender que ha alquilado su cuerpo.
Es una vida de cuento... hasta que descubre que los planes de Destinos de Plenitud son más siniestros que la peor de sus pesadillas.
El libro comienza con un buen ritmo, todo empieza lleno de momentos de acción y misterio, pero creo que ese ritmo ha ido demasiado rápido para este libro. Va tan rápido y no te explican partes esenciales en la historia.
La portada es muy bonita e impactante, lo que te da otra razón para querer leerlo.
Starters es de esa novelas que no son una maravilla, no.
Sobre la historia, sí, falta una explicación clara ¿por qué pasó?, ¿cómo empezó? ¿Quién? ¿Cuándo? Pero ya que está contado en primera persona (Sí, este es uno de los tantos problemas que generan los libros escritos de esta forma) Callie sólo tiene algunos flashbacks de lo poco que sabe acerca de esta.
El triángulo amoroso es, en mi opinión, innecesario, suficiente hay con tanto problema, situaciones por resolver y explicar.
No lo sé, no tengo mucho que decir...
Starters es un libro que empecé con mucha esperanza y me ha decepcionado. Todo pasa demasiado rápido y no eres explicado casi nada. Todo gira alrededor del personaje principal y, como éste desconoce gran parte del mundo, no es de gran ayuda. El final ha sido bastante pobre, hueco y aburrido. No lo sé, no lo recomiendo.

SINOPSIS: Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie. Callie's only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man.
He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie's head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator's grandson. It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime Destinations' plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined.
The book starts with a great rhythm, full of action and suspense, but I think this rhythm has been too quick for this kind of book. It goes so fast that you aren't explained many things that end being essential in the story.
The portcover is gorgeous and shoking, which gives you a bigger desire to read it.
Starters is a novel of those that aren't really good organized, no.
About the story, yes, it's missing a clear explanation... Why? How? Who? When? It's told in first-person and Callie only has a few flashbacks.
The love triangle is, in my opinion, unnecessary. It's enough with all the trouble and situations missing.
I don't know, I don't have much to say...
Starters is a book I started with a lot of hope and has dissapointed me, honestly. Everything happens to fast and you're not explaing anything. It all revolves around the main characters, who doesn't know much, so she's not a great kind of help. The ending is very poor, hollow and boring,
No, I don't recommend it.
