A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief - she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust but no people and no answers. She knows only one thing about herself - her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin. She finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her.

A claustrophobic roller coaster ride.
Revisado: 07-17-15
What did you love best about Alive: Book One of the Generations Trilogy?
The similarities to 'Lord of the Flies" by William Golding while giving things urgency as the novel progresses.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The protagonist because of her many layers; most of which she discovers throughout the book.
Which character – as performed by Emma Galvin – was your favorite?
All the characters were well done.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
After I finished the book, I was excited for the next one and contemplative; it is a good, mixed feeling.
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for a complex story that has mysteries within mysteries to be solved and a well-rounded cast of characters including a strong (yet vulnerable) female protagonist, this book is definitely for you. While the slow burn approach and the first person, present tense narrative may irk some listeners, the payoffs and the overall journey getting to those rewards make it all worthwhile. This being the first book in a trilogy, there is a true sense of discovery as the scope of things expands and the stakes are raised. Loose ends are tied up to a degree by the novel's conclusion but the dust is far from settled. It is a claustrophobic roller coaster ride with many jolts, bumps, and twists along the way.
