ending was not fully developed, probably to save for the sequel ( )

I think from the blurb, I was expecting more of a paranormal theme for this book and because that is basically non-existent, I found it meh. Growing up, doing it tough blah, blah, blah. ( )

Dates, Dates, Dates. What would you do if you could see when everyone was going to die????The book takes place in London and it is in the English countryside. I think this book takes place in London because Jem knows about London.

The main character is Jem. She is the protagonist. Jem is 15 years old. Jem was in a foster home with 22 siblings. When she looks at people she sees the date they will die. She avoids getting to know people. While she is waiting for the train, she sees the death date of everybody waiting for the train. They all flash the numbers of today's date and London is going to be attacked. Spider is the other main character and he steals money. He is the antagonist. They end up falling in love. Jem isn't sure if she should let people know about the numbers. Every number that she sees that person ends up dying that day.

I think that the book is about survival because the police are out to get Jem and Spider. Jem and Spider are separated from each other because of the police chases. Spider dies in the book and then Jem can’t see the numbers anymore. Later on in the book Jem’s child tells her he can see numbers above people's heads.

I like it because it’s about survival. I did not like that people were dying. I recommend this book because this book is a little bit dangerous because people are dying and the people are getting chased by the cops. I would recommend this book to anyone that is thirteen or older because people are learning to read chapter books at that age and it's a reading level book. ( )

Probably a 3.5. A young British adolescent sees numbers next to everyone, which it turns out are the date of their deaths. Disinterested in school, with no real friends, she befriends a black hoodlum and on an excursion she forsees disaster at the London Eye, fleeing the scene right before a terrorist bombing. Sought by the police, the two go on the lam. The relationship stuff felt real, but I thought some of the dialogue was contrived. ( )

Disappointing. Cool concept, engaging characters, and some really nicely done scenes, but predictable and preachy in a too obvious way. Also, editors either needed to leave the British English alone, or edit it to American English consistently. Characters described as eating biscuits and cookies in the same paragraph! I don't think I'll be continuing with this series. ( )
