Publisher Description

The first book in the New York Times bestselling series that inspired the hit CW television show.

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.

The 100 book 1

Great book a lot different from the show but one thing I didn’t understand is the reason Wells got confined. In the beginning it states what he did in a conversation with his father. Then at the end it’s a flashback and it states he did something else to get confined.

Um, no thanks.

I read this book in the hopes that it would be just as good as the show, but it was severely disappointing for me. Raven was missing, and the characters are one dimensional, driven by romances and their love interests. There are snippets of logical reasoning behind every choice, but the stories these pages tell revolve around love triangles and relationships. There’s no substance to this kind of storytelling. At first, it’s relatable because there is not a single life on earth that has not been touched by love, but pretty soon it becomes more like a soap opera than about survival in a wasteland people used to call home. I was hoping I would get to see more characterization, especially with Clarke, but now it becomes startlingly clear that Jason Rothenberg was not kidding when he said the only thing the show and the book have in common is the setting. I regret ever wasting my time to even read the first sentence.

Not at all impressed

I usually read the books before watching the movie or show but this time I watched the show before not knowing it was a book. I loved the show with it's compelling plot and dynamic characters so I was expecting the book to hold up to these standards. Instead I found a book with no emotion, a slow moving pace, and absolutely no plot. I see why the show had to add all those scenes in to make it interesting. Just watch the show.
