This was an extreme action packed dystopia themed book that was fast paced and a blast to read. What's not to love when there's a futuristic, corrupt government lead by politicians who are willing to kill people they feel to be too poor or powerless. Eventually all the poor and hopeless live in the Underworld. The Overworld is whee everyone else who is powerful and wealthy live together with fresh food, air, and water with enough food and supplies for everyone. It's three hundred years in the future, and the whole world has changed. The Underworld is portrayed as being lower than a junk yard, where the less fortunate go and never come back. The main character Zachary was a well built up character who I found to be a pleasure to read about. His relationship with Rose is only just beginning and unfortunately they aren't together, as much as I thought the romance part of this book, would include. I wish I would have read more about their love interest in one another, but than again it would have made this book less action packed. I can't stress how much action is packed into this book, you will be overwhelmed with action and thrill, all in a futuristic dystopian world. I gladly give this book a 4/5. I only left off one point for the overwhelming amount of information that is thrown at you in such large amounts. You may need to re-read some parts just to get all the information. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

What first struck me was how well Zachary's world is built. I was instantly sucked into the Underworld and everything that came along with it. Imagine living in the darkness, on borrowed air, and scavenging to make ends meet. Imran Siddiq has created a society that thrives on tenacity. This is Zachary's reality. He has learned to work alone. He has made himself as strong as he can. That is, until Rosa comes into the picture.
I wasn't sure how I felt about Rosa at first. She's the exact opposite of Zachary in every way. Then again Siddiq's concept of the Overworld makes it very apparent why. The Overworld is verdant, shiny and new. It's everything that the Underworld is not. Two very different places, two very different people, and yet they end up connected. The way things come together in the end surprised me, and I loved it!
It's tough to really share a lot without spoiling anything. True to Science Fiction form, this is a book that really must be experienced to fully appreciate it. What I can say is that the characters are well done, the plot was executed beautifully, and I was left happy at the end. Despite any small qualms I may have had, I did enjoy my trip into Disconnect. I can't wait to read more. ( )
