4.0 out of 5 stars Would you sign The Declaration? 28 April 2009
By Jenny, Wondrous Reads TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
If you haven't yet read one of Gemma Malley's books, you're missing out. Her ideas and view of the future are nothing short of terrifying, and both make for compulsive reading.

The Resistance picks up a short time after The Declaration ends, and this time mainly focuses on Peter rather than Anna. I loved The Declaration, but I enjoyed this sequel more. It's exciting and original, with more shocks and revelations than I thought possible.

Peter is working with the Underground, a group of resistance fighters opposed to the Longevity drug (Longevity is a drug that makes you live forever, and can only be taken if you give up your right to have children). Together they try and take down Pincent Pharma, the company responsible for producing and distributing the drug.

Quite a few questions are answered in this book, though you could argue that even more are raised. The whole world that Malley has created just scares the life out of me, and I hope things are never like this by the time we reach the year 2140. There's definitely room for another sequel, and I hope we see a continuation of the story at some point. There's so much left to explore... Will the Underground prevail? Will Longevity be eradicated? All are valid questions I'm dying to know the answer to.

So, Gemma Malley, if you read this: please write another book. I'm not opposed to begging, and, if I have to, bribery could be arranged. As long as I don't have to sign the Declaration, I'm all ears!

4.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too 11 Aug 2009
By TeensReadToo TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
THE RESISTANCE is the much-anticipated sequel to THE DECLARATION. It picks up where THE DECLARATION left off and is told through Peter's eyes.

He and Anna live together with Ben, Anna's brother, in a rundown house trying to keep out of the way. Peter and Anna aren't comfortable being Legal yet, and find the stares and nasty comments coming from the other citizens unsettling.

Peter and Anna work for the Underground whenever they can. They both want to see the Declaration a thing of the past.

Peter gets his chance when his grandfather, head of Pincent Pharma, offers him a position at the company. Pincent Pharma is responsible for Longevity, the drug that makes an extended life possible. Peter uses this opportunity to get information for the Underground.

What he finds causes him to question his beliefs about the Declaration, the Underground, and his relationship with Anna. It takes uncovering a horrible secret to put him back on track.

THE RESISTANCE was just as good as THE DECLARATION. The suspense keeps you turning page after page. Peter's character is so likeable and his devotion to Anna is heartwarming.

Gemma Malley leaves it open for another story, and I for one can't wait to see what happens next.

5.0 out of 5 stars The future of the world...? 1 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
The resistance is the brilliant, brilliant sequel to the utterly amazing The Declaration. I love both of these books so much. The concepts, the ideas and how terrifically deep some of them are. Gemma Malley has created a perfect piece of dystopian fiction for both older teens and adult to ponder.

The Resistance offers readers a morally challenging story, which makes us question ourselves, our society and what we believe. The story itself is very good. At first it felt a little slow but once it got going, the book never left my hands. I would suggest trying to read it in one day, as I had a very sleepless night, dying to know what would happen. This book absorbs you. Beware. Also, the book covers some very sensitive and quite disturbing incidents/ideas but they help make the book what it is.

Just as poignant and thoughtful as The Declaration, The Resistance creates a deep connection with the reader. Exciting and moving, these two books are the best reads I have ever had.
