Description Concering Books Possession (Possession #1)
Vi knows the Rule: Girls don't walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn ... and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi's future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause? The Thinkers may have brainwashed the rest of the population, but Vi is determined to think for herself. But the Thinkers are unusually persuasive, and they're set on convincing Vi to become one of them ... starting by brainwashing Zenn. Vi can't leave Zenn in the Thinkers' hands, but she's wary of joining the rebellion, especially since that means teaming up with Jag. Jag is egotistical, charismatic, and dangerous—everything Zenn's not. Vi can't quite trust Jag and can't quite resist him, but she also can't give up on Zenn. This is a game of control or be controlled. And Vi has no choice but to play.Itemize Appertaining To Books Possession (Possession #1)

POSSESSIONVi is a young teenage girl, living in a hellish, overly controlled world. Her life is created for her by Thinkers (people who can read your thoughts and brainwash you into doing anything), but she wont stand for it. Vi is a rebellious girl, who is put into prison for breaking the rules too often. In the prison she meets a boy of the same age, Jag, and they realize they have an immediate connection. Jag and Vi stand up to the Thinkers and their brainwashed citizens and join a rebellionA dystopian novel for young adults, Elana Johnson's debut novel, Possession, will be published by Simon & Schuster in June, 2011.From the author's website:Vi knows the Rule: Girls don't walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them.

After a forbidden walk in the park with her match, Zenn, Violet loses her status as a Goodie. The Thinkers have been monitoring Vi's behavior for a long time--ever since her sister Ty's death when Violet unplugged herself from the transmissions that tells the Goodies how they are to think and act. While imprisoned, Vi meets Jag Barque, a young man who is a Baddie. Vi knows she no longer has a future with Zenn, who is now working for the Forces. She is drawn into Jag's world--one where he can
Ugh! I seriously could NOT get into this book! The reader is thrown right away into this dystopian world in which the Goodies and the Baddies do not agree, obviously. The Thinkers are these brainwasher-types who fight and condemn freewill. The premise had promise (heh) but that's it. Once you start reading this book, it just...UGH! We get absolutely no world-building (and yes, I appreciate it when it happens in dystopian books!), no real reason to like Violet OR Jag, and Zenn is completely
Okay So the plot and the idea was very interesting. It seemed kind of cool you know: government taking over and stuff. The war thing and the goodies vs. baddies was cool too. I only wish that they were called something more complex you know not good vs. bad. Jag was a great character, he seemed like the only one in the novel though that was 3 dimensional. Violet was pretty flat as a character what with all of her indecisiveness and whining about Zenn & her dad & her mom & her sister
