Conspiracies,
government cover ups, rebellion, and one woman, Ellie, entangled in an uprising
she never wanted to be part of. As Lisa Hall’s Girl Found unravels, readers venture into a world in which a controlling
Republic fights to maintain power through fear tactics, economic class division,
and population control. Yet, like the fate of all controlled environments there
are those that believe in freedom, and in this story that would be the role of
the Syndicate families. They have positioned themselves to be free of the
Republic’s control and are establishing an uprising to bring the Republic to an
end, but is that their real intentions?
Upon
starting this read, one might expect a tale similar to the story Divergent. Instead, Hall gives readers
so much more. This novella has a familiarity that history buffs would identify
as the beginning and ending of a relationship between Europe and the colonist
that landed on the New World in hopes of freedom. As we all know the Americans
fought to break tides with the wigs and eventually became a country under the
control of its own government and people. It is this concept in Girl Found that establishes a connection
for readers. Then again, Ellie’s telepathic abilities and the doses of science
fiction takes this novella to another level.
If
you’re looking for any kind of romance or alien invasion this isn’t the book
for you. However, if you’re anything like me…looking to be entertained, immersed
in a world created by the imagination of a solid author, and a story that has bouts of
heeded messages that can be useful in your reality than this is the book for
you. As Ellie uncovers the truth, readers learn as she does that her fate
brought her into an uprising that she was destine to be a part of. I dare you
to read.
I give
“Girl Found” 4 out of 5 stars.
Happy
Reading
