desertcart.com: MILA 2.0: A YA Sci-Fi Thriller About a Girl Who Discovers She's a Hunted Android Programmed with Secret Skills: 9780062090379: Driza, Debra: Books Review: An action-packed, suspense-filled and wildly entertaining read - MILA 2.0 is an action-packed, suspense-filled and wildly entertaining first book in author Debra Driza's new series with an atypical main character who is incredibly likable and surprisingly relatable. With a fast pace, an exciting storyline that will keep readers riveted and an ending that will make them anxious for the next installment, this book is the perfect way to jump-start this series. Mila Daily had no idea she wasn't like everyone else. She had no idea that the recent tragedy that made her mother relocate them to Clearwater wasn't real. She had no idea that her memories weren't real. She had no idea she wasn't real. Until an accident revealed the truth and set into motion events that would force her and her mother to flee the town they only recently called home. Force Mila to learn about who she really was and what she was capable of. Force Mila to become ACTIVE. And force her to leave behind the boy who stole her heart. A heart that she never really had to begin with. MILA 2.0 combines elements of science fiction, action/adventure and a touch of romance in a story that has at its core the development of the main character and the question of what makes someone human. And with its rapid pace, its shifting setting, its changing cast of secondary characters, and a heroine who is easy to connect with, this story will have a wider appeal than those stories geared only toward readers of sci-fi. Mila may not be a typical heroine, but she very much resembles one. She acts like the teenager she appears to be. She thinks like one. She has all the feelings and emotions that any teenage girl would have. And as such, she's incredibly sympathetic, likable and easy to relate to. But she is also fierce, competitive and deadly, qualities only touched upon in this first book in the series, but will likely play a larger role in the sequel. And which will make her a powerful and dangerous ally or adversary. Told in four parts, each more exciting, tension-filled and captivating than the last, author Debra Driza has created a story that is intriguing, fun and lightning-fast, and the perfect escape into a world that is danger-filled with a character who is every bit as charming as she is lethal. Review: Not my normal cup of tea, but the Android aspect drew me in... - When this book first came out, I was drawn in by the cool cover & the storyline. But a YA book? I have enjoyed a few.....But this a YA sci-fi thriller about a girl android. I know, I know, how can an android be either male or female? You just got to go with the flow. This was not my normal cup of tea, I usually read action/horror thrillers like: Arisen, Book Four - Maximum Violence by Glynn James/Michael Stephen Fuchs. This is a special forces/zombies super action/horror thriller. "R" rated action for sure.... Despite the "PG-13" aspect of Mila 2.0, I did enjoy reading it. The story started out a little slow, letting the readers see how Mila acted as a "normal" teenager...in and out of high-school. But when Debra threw in the 18 yr old hunk love-interest, I started to suspect this book was not for me.....But once Mila's secret was out, the story & action sure picked up! The buzz going around was that this book featured Jason Bourne style action. H'mmm, no. For Jason Bourne style action there would have to be a heck of lot more blood & guts flying around. Since the action was toned down for the YA readers, I would say the action was more along the lines of the old A-Team TV show. But there is no denying ths suspense/thrill aspect of this story. I'll read the next Mila book just to see how this story develops. I am looking forward to future battles between Mila 2.0 and Mila 3.0. I suspect the Mila 3.0 character will develop more and more as the series goes on. The adult in me would LOVE to read a Mila story written for adults with TRUE Jason Bourne/Matt Reilly style action. Let's see Mila fully unleashed! The body count would be prettty darn high. Mila is one tough chick....see, Debra got me thinking of Mila as a girl, not just an android.

J'aime tout ce qui est lecture JA et ce livre est une bouffée d'oxygène dans la catégorie. En effet, ça nous change des vampires et autres créatures. Le début du livre est un peu lent en terme d'action, mais le questionnement du personnage principale sur sa vie en général et ce qu'elle est nous pousse à continuer pour essayer de comprendre son passé et ce qui l'attend dans le futur. Du coup je l'ai dévoré! J'ai également dévoré le 2 qui est excellent! BONNE LECTURE!
