Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

REVIEW
**************YOU MUST READ RED RISING BEFORE YOU READ GOLDEN SON**********
***************THERE MAY BE SPOILERS FOR RED RISING, BUT NOT GOLDEN SON****
WELL THAT WAS A GORYDAMN GOOD WAY TO SPEND MY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!! Yes, I know how to live it up don't I!!! Tell me you aren't jealous (grin). After finishing GOLDEN SON, I felt like I had partied hard in Times Square. I definitely had a book hangover. Still have it. I cannot stop thinking about this book. So much, so, so much!!! How it only took a year for Pierce Brown to come up with THAT BOOK???
Okay, I'll try to say something coherent. Um...pride goeth before a fall. That is one big theme in this novel. But it isn't boring to see it played out. I'm not sure my adrenaline charged nerves could take much more. Oh and secrets. Yeah, do not tell your secrets to anyone, they will bite you in the backside. Oh, betrayal. Yes, there is a lot of betrayal. It's like the best, juicy, soap opera but with lots of violence and cool machines and weapons. I really don't go in for all the Sci-Fi gadgetry, but this stuff is so awesome.
This is a series that gets better every time you read it. RED RISING broke my reading slump last year. I didn't have one this year since I started this year with GOLDEN SON! This is the type of book that you want to discuss with other people. You want to jump up and down and just say, "Yes and that part where..." and have someone else nod their head in agreement because they so get it even before you finish saying it. So someone, please tell me you've read this series and let's talk. Because that ending, did he really do that? I read it twice to make sure what happened really did happen. How could Pierce Brown do that? How? And then we have to wait another year? But oh, it was oh so sweet to have that ending. I mean, did I want that to happen? No, but the way Pierce Brown weaves his story back and forth in and out and through again. To lead to that ending. I can only end with, can I have the next one please?
Thanks to the publishers at Random House for an e-arc of this novel that I received through NetGalley. I received no compensation for this review. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
