Numbers 2 The Chaos Rachel Ward 9781906427306 Books

Let me start by saying I'm from the US, so some of the terminology set me back a little. (Some I knew from Harry Potter, like 'tosser' haha)

But once I started getting into the different slang, the book took on a life of it's own. Being an Author, I know how many books there are out there and when I find one with such a refreshingly different idea it really makes me happy.
Imagine distancing yourself from relationships with anyone because when you look into their eyes you know the exact date they are going to die?
Then there's the thought-- can she change it?!?!

Insanely awesome, Love it! Read it!

Numbers 2 The Chaos Rachel Ward 9781906427306 Books Reviews

Numbers was a cross between the cliche realistic fiction with the tough but good-hearted protagonist and a science fiction caper. None of the characters is very original or well developed, and the events are mostly predictable - including the ending. The writing, however, does draw the reader in, so I have hopes the sequel may be more satisfying.
I bought this series for my daughter and she absolutely loved the books.
This book is amazing in a different way that surprising good. A little bit of your typical stories all mixed into one story with a sci-fi twist. The best part is of course the Sci-fi twist. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to see the world differently through someone who can have a special ability. Would love to see this book as a movie and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Rachel Ward's debut novel is astounding! Here is a book that has the reader cheering for the underdogs--the "bad guys"--because Ward does such a fine job of making them multi-dimensional and likeable, even though they're punks. We get to see beyond that, to the core of the characters. I seriously could NOT put this book down... The details and descriptions made me feel ever-present, igniting all of my senses. And the ending? Well, even though I predicted how everything would fall into place, the words--the last line--oh, they sent chills through me! This book is worthy of the big screen; I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!
(brief summary and review, no spoilers)

This is a gripping story of two teenagers whose choices are severely limited by both circumstance and society. Their growing relationship and the inadvertent adventure they find themselves on forms the heart of this book.

Moving, thought-provoking, well-written,....these are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind after reading "Numbers". And though there is a fantastical element, the story itself is firmly grounded in real life.

Jem and Spider are memorable characters, and having just seen "The Blind Side" I am forcibly reminded that children will expand (or contract) to the limits of their horizon, whatever they may be.

Great book and a must read for teens.
I really, really wanted to like this book about a girl who sees a string of numbers every time she looks at a person's eyes. On the day her mother died, she learned that the numbers stand for the day that person is destined to die. I knew going in that it was a book from England, so some of the words would be different. However, I wasn't quite expecting it to be such an on-the-run story, and I wasn't hooked into the love interest storyline, which became more of a focus at the story moved on. Overall, I was disappointed in the twist at the end. Several times I wanted to abandon, but forced myself to finish it. Overall, it's just an OK book for me.

Mini-Review originally posted on Heise Reads & Recommends
If you are looking for a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat than I highly recommend reading The Chaos by Rachel Ward. I loved the first book in the series Numbers, but I definitely think the author out did herself on the sequel. The entire time I was reading this book I was fighting the urge not to flip to the end to find out what happens. The tension that builds throughout the book is what makes it an awesome read, but I felt like I needed to know NOW how it was going to end!! I consider reading the end of a book first to be cheating, so luckily I was able to fight the urge and actually wait until the end to find out what happens. You do not necessarily need to read Numbers in order to understand what is happening in The Chaos, but reading The Chaos first will ruin the end of Numbers. Therefore if you have not read Numbers and you plan on doing so, STOP reading this review right now and go read Numbers!!!!!!!!!

You're still reading my review? Ok, well I warned you, so don't blame me for ruining Numbers for you!! The Chaos takes place 16 years after the end of Numbers. Adam, Jem and Spider's son, is now 15 and living in Weston (the town by the sea that Jem and Spider were trying to escape to) with his Nan, Val. Things on earth are changing and the sea is staring to reclaim her land. As the book opens Adam and Val are being evacuated due to massive flooding. Wait! What happened to Jem? I could tell you . . . but I won't!!! Adam is not happy about leaving and blames Val for everything wrong in his life. He panics when he thinks he forgot his book, which luckily is in his pants pocket. What's in the book!?! Ok, I'll tell you!! Adam has inherited his mother's gift for seeing numbers. Every time he looks someone in the eye he sees the date of his or her death flash in his mind. He knows from experience that the numbers are never wrong. He knows from his mother never to tell anyone about the numbers. That is why he feels the need to document every number he sees in his book. As if seeing the numbers isn't bad enough, Adam can actually feel how each person is going to die. Two things torment Adam 1) He has no idea what his own number is, and 2) The majority of people he sees will die on 01012027. He knows that something horrible is going to happen on New Years day and he has no idea how to stop it.

One of the things that I really enjoyed about this book is that Adam is not the only narrator. Sarah, a 15- year old girl with secrets of her own, narrates every other chapter. What are her secrets!?! If I told you, it would ruin the story! One thing I will tell you is that when Sarah enrolls in a new school and sees Adam for the first time she recognizes him as the boy from her nightmares. She has been dreaming about him for months, and none of the dreams have been good. When Adam sees her number and feels her death he needs to know exactly why she is so utterly terrified of him. Throughout the book Adam has two goals figure out how to save the people who are going to die on New Year's Day and find out why Sarah is so terrified to be around him.

The story also has a minor character named Mia and I only mention this because the next book I read, Gayle Forman's Where She Went, has two characters named Adam and Mia. Kinda funny how things like that happen. If you enjoy dystopian fiction and you love a great roller coaster ride then you absolutely need to read Rachel Ward's The Chaos. You will not be disappointed!!!!
