Publisher Description
Join 100 teens as they fight to survive on a barely recognizable Earth in the first book of the New York Times bestselling series that inspired the hit CW TV series.
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?
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 100 IN LOVE
i love this book i recommend it strongly if you like the hunger games. i usually hate reading and if i read it would take me a moth to read a book like this but i liked this book so much i finished it in 3 days i love this book so much and i cant wait till day 21 comes out to see what happens to Glass and Luke and Bellamy and Clark and Wells and his father
Epic
Just finished reading the first chapter and it is epic! I saw reviews saying this book was no good, but don't listen. If you like the main general ideas of the book you'll love it. It is epic!! I can't wait for this to come out as a tv series as well, it'll be interesting to see and I think it's going to be transferred very well from the book to TV. Anyway, definitely read this if you like the sci fi genre or are intrigued with the general storyline.
Maybe too much romance, not enough sci-fi
A good read, with a wonderful premise, set in an interesting world. However, the scope of the story is bogged down a bit by a focus on the romantic. I had no problem with the romantic plot lines themselves, save for the fact that in such a short book they distract from the world and the overall story, both of which are much more interesting then who kissed who.
