Has anyone read the Michael Grant series Gone? The fifth book just came out and I got it yesterday. Nobody I know reads these and they are truly amazing. If you're looking for a dark fantasy with a twist of science fiction I would definitely suggest this series. Someone please tell me they're reading Fear right now?!
