When a crash kills their father and leaves them orphaned, Zel knows she needs to protect her sister, Dyl. But before Zel has a plan, Dyl is taken by strangers using bizarre sensory weapons, and Zel finds herself in a safe house for teens who aren’t like any she’s ever seen before—teens who shouldn’t even exist. Using broken-down technology, her new friends’ peculiar gifts, and her own grit, Zel must find a way to get her sister back from the kidnappers who think a powerful secret is encoded in Dyl’s DNA.Set in 2150—in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms—this is about the human genetic “mistakes” that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes.

Absolutely terrible. DNF at 57%. This is one of those times where I legitimately think Ive read a different book that my friends. In theory, Control should have worked for me. I really loved the idea of a conspiracy and the secret being in Zels genes. I really thought these were great ideas and I was completely looking forward to reading about it. Then I started reading and my happy cat died.Slut-shamingZel, our main protagonist, is constantly slut-shamming another girl named Vera, who is veryThis is a unique, interesting, fast-paced story that takes place in 2150. A lot has changed in the world with automatic cars, auditory drugs, and people with genetic oddities (super-fast healing, four arms, two heads, and so on). Its a very unique story in a very unique setting. Things I found at least remotely amusing were things like their calling cars chars.Zel is an interesting character whom I found it easy to like. Once her sister is taken, she goes from timid, meek girl to tigress. Shes
I was desperate to love this book, I wanted to hug it and love it, and share it with everyone that I met and tell them it was awesome, but it was not. BUT IT DEFINITELY IS NOT AT ALL A FORM OF X-MEN, THAT IS JUST OFFENSIVE TO THE X-MEN. A review I read said : This was like X-Men meets Graceling meets the future meets AWESOME. You sir, are a liar.I can feel it in my neurons. This is an actual line. I dont recommend this as a dystopian read, or a science-fiction read, but it is definitely a very
Control has been one of my most anticipated books of the year, so when I was offered a review copy I jumped at the opportunity to read it! And I must say, Control did not disappoint. It's was great Science fiction/Dystopian book, and the perfect one to end my year off with a bang! I loved the Science aspect of Control, even though it got to be very confusing after a while. All the science and technical wording was a lot to take in and understand. And the science fiction part was the main
Squee!!! So awesome. Can't wait to read it! :o)
(3.5 stars) I really enjoyed this book! The characters were very interesting and the story was nicely paced. The only problems I had was the world building and the character development. I had a hard time grasping the world and I felt like I was kind of thrown into it and expected to figure out everything on my own. I also think that it was hard to really care for any of the characters, because I didn't feel like I got to know them well enough in the beginning. Either way this book was really
