    Interesting enough to hold my attention through the first in the series, but I don't know if I'll listen to the next one.

    The "reboot" concept is interesting, except for the part about reboots losing touch with their humanity. If that had really happened, there would be no story, and certainly no love story!

    Well now, this was a pleasant surprise. When Reboot first released last year, I passed it over because of all the craziness surrounding it. Half the reading world loved it and praised it as the next Divergent. The other half loathed it and shouted to the rooftops what a piece of drivel it was. At the time, I wasn't in the mood to be in the middle of that. So I let this book sit and collect dust. However when I realized that Khristine Hvam is the narrator of the audio version, I snapped it up and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did friends. I'm really glad I did.

    If I had to choose only one thing to say about this book, it'd be this: YOU MUST SUSPEND DISBELIEF TO ENJOY THIS. Really, you do. I went into Reboot expecting nothing more than an action-packed story about some re-animated teens. I'll tell you, that's exactly what I was given. Amy Tintera creates a dystopian landscape much like those you've seen before, but with a twist. As expected, some horrible event (in this case a virus called KDH) has all but wiped the planet clean of humans. However, in this instance, some actually survive. Just not in the way you might think. KDH does, in fact, bring some people back to life. Are they zombies? Are they mutants? Or are they simply stronger, better versions of themselves? I'll leave that to you to decide, if you choose to read this book.

    Things I liked? Definitely Wren and Callum. As our main characters, they carry the story forward and they do it well! Wren is a no-nonsense kind of girl. Society has told her that she's a soulless monster, a killing machine, and she accepts that as truth. That is, until Callum comes along. These two were rather adorable together. Callum constantly tugging at the emotions Wren thought she didn't have, and Wren wondering why one boy had the power to do that. What I liked best about this was that Wren is strong. She's kick-ass. She doesn't need Callum. She chooses him. It's a wonderful thing.

    Did I mention that this is a very action-packed story? It most definitely is. Which means that, as I expected, not all of my questions were answered and, once again as I expected, the ending was a bit rushed. I knew there was more than one book in this series going in though, so I wasn't disappointed. If anything, I'm actually very much ready for more. Khristine Hvam once again did an amazing job with the voices of these characters, so I know I'll be picking up the next book on audio. If you have space on your reading list, and are looking for something that is purely for fun? Give this a shot. I think you'll like it.

    I absolutely loved this book! From the first page, I knew I was going to be hooked. It is so well written and is very fast paced. I read the whole thing in a day.

    I love that the main character Wren is super B.A. It seems the trend in most YA books is that the heroine is weak until they meet up with their dude and gain their power/confidence/whatever. Wren is crazy awesome from the beginning, and in a nice change, her guy is the one who depends on her for strength/protection/salvation. I loved Callum. I loved how he knew Wren was different from the beginning and despite what she told him and even her beating the crap out of him, he still pushed for her. I really hope that their relationship develops through the series. They are a good balance for each other. She gives him confidence and strength to realize he isn't as weak as he thinks, and he gives her compassion and shows her love is ok to feel.

    I just can't say enough good things about this book! If you are a fan of Divergent, you'll love it.. Just picture it in reverse-- Wren as Four and Callum as Tris.

    Anyway, I cannot wait to read the sequel Rebel. I have my copy reserved for pick up at the bookstore and I am counting the hours until I can get my hands on it!!

    In a post-apocalyptic age, Imagine a world where death is conquered and a victim can come back to life stronger, faster, able to heal quickly, and less emotional. This is exactly the world that Wren Connolly lives in and she, in fact, is the deadliest Reboot in Texas. Wren was shot in the chest and dead for 178 minutes before she was "rebooted" to life. The longer one is dead before the reboot, the stronger he or she becomes, so Wren 178 is the strongest. She is employed as a reboot trainer and she is the perfect soldier, but has been assigned to train Callum 22 who is almost human. Callum is too slow, emotional, and always asking questions. The authorities give Wren an ultimatum, get your reboot in line or eliminate him. The failure means that Wren will be eliminated herself. Wren decides to save Callum and they escape to Austin where Wren realizes that Callum has been subjected to strange injections that are given by the government officials to all reboots under 60. The pair return to the HARC center to seek the antidote and free the reboots undergoing the injections. Wren succeeds in freeing the reboots, and they use stolen shuttles to relocate beyond the haven. The characters in the novel seemed somewhat flat, however, that may be the author's intent. The plot was action-packed so the reader remains engaged. One theme that stands out is societal discrimination. In addition, the text could inspire conversations about the role of government in controlling humanity.

    The first half of 'Reboot' was great. Filled with action, it gave a wonderful insight into life as a reboot and Wren reminded me of Katsa from "Graceling" - tough, unemotional and deadly. However, halfway through the book things changed and the book became quite laborious to read. Wren, like so many heroines in YA fiction, became too infatuated with Callum, and the focus changed, AND not for the better!! Wren lost her toughness, instead becoming more unsure of herself and her feelings, as her world started to centre around Callum, which spoilt the story for me. Overall, a disappointing read.

    Reboot is the most fascinating action book you will ever find. A girl named Wren died at the age of 12. 178 minutes after she died, she was revived as the most fierce of all reboots. She meets Callum and she is assigned by HARC to train him. He is basically still human because his number is 22. Callum disobeys killing someone and is then sentenced to execution. Wren gets him out of HARC and gets everyone out of the HARC facility in Austin. Reboot is a slow paced book. It is full of action and imagination. It deserves more big reviews. The story is very detailed and suspense. This book has great character personalities. The book as of now has wonderful reviews. I give it a 5/5.

I think everyone should read this book.The book Reboot is about a girl named Wren, who lives in a facility named HARC.HARC is a place for Reboots. Reboots are people who woke after being dead for 20-200 min. Reboots are not humans because they have some emotion and are stronger, faster and heal fast. Wren is a trainer. Wren trains a boy who's name is Callom. Wren and Callom go on a mission but they don't follow orders instead they go and get there trackers removed. They go to Austin, a town, they pick up Addina there. Addina is another reboot. They go to a house with other rebels. They make a plan to go and free all the Austin reboots in the HARC facility. They succeeded and went to a rebellion camp.

    I read a lot of dystopian fiction, and lately have gotten a little bored with the sameness of many of them. Reboot is different. The population has been largely wiped out by a disease, but anyone who has had the virus and then dies is "rebooted" into something that seems to be better in some ways (super fast healing, and speed/agility), and worse in others (emotional lack). Those older than 20 are rebooted but unable to handle it and they are usually killed right away. Those younger seem to reboot better. The longer someone goes before rebooting, the more skilled and less emotional they become. The young Reboots are controlled by human handlers and are trained to go in and capture or kill certain people - presumably who are a danger to humans in some way. Number 178, the main character, has been in the Reboot center for five years and trains the new Reboot kids as they come through. She has the highest number in the center, and therefore the greatest esteem/respect. She takes on the training of a lowly Rebooter, Number 22, who still has a lot of human emotions. She begins to question the intent of the humans who are in control, and the adventure goes from there. As soon as I finished this, I immediately started reading the sequel. What I like is that those who are reborn are not zombies, and aren't out to attack humans with endless fighting going on. Whatever bad traits they may have are only due to what the human scientists have been experimenting with on them.

    The book takes place in the future when a disease is going around. If you have had the disease in your lifetime, after you die you reboot.There are “camps” around the United States that controls the Reboots life and actions. The longer you are dead the less human you are when you wake up. Wren was dead for 178 minutes, so she thinks there is no human left in her, until she meets Callum. Callum was dead for a total of 23 minutes,he is almost human. Callum can see through everything and he wants to leave the facility.They were trapped and weren’t getting out easily. They manage to escape, but pick up a girl, Addie,and free a whole facility on the way to the reboot reservation. With much difficulty they succeed.Amy,the author did an exceptional job writing this book. She kept the adrenaline rush going throughout the whole book. There were a lot of twists in the plot. I did like the idea of rebooting and coming back less human. I also found the details of Reboots interesting(light eyes etc.). The author continued to surprise me with her ideas throughout this book.

    Reboot is a book about a kind of plague. This plague kills its victim then brings the person back to life known as a reboot.After the victim has rebooted they go to this place named HARC. HARC organizes, takes care of, and train the reboots for government like tasks by there number. The persons number is determined by how long the victim is dead.Later there is a girl named wren. She is known as 178 which was the highest reboot number in the facility.after that a new batch of reboots are brought in. One is number 22 or Callum. Wren chose Callum as her training reboot. Soon after wren and callum found out about the medicines that HARC had been giving all the under 60 numbers.Next Callum and wren are told about a reboot reservation by an assignment person. Later one of wren's best friend guards help wren and callum escape in exchange for wren getting the guards daughter.soon after escaping wren and Callum get back the guards daughter, but Callum is now being effected by the medications that HARC gave him. Then wren team up with some humans the guard told wren about to rescue the other reboots in the HARC facility and get Callum the antidote for the medication because wren and Callum fell in love. Lastly all of the reboots go to the reservation and they are free.I enjoyed the book. I liked how Callum brought out the person side of Wren. I also liked the suspense that anything could happen to Wren or Callum at any moment.The strange twist that the under 60 were given medication to eat people surprised my. Especially when near the end they reveled that if you are in that state to long you stay that way. Lastly I was shocked when they went back to HARC risking their lives to save many others. I would recommend this book to people that like suspense or action books.

    Reboot by Amy Tintera is about a 17 year old who died and came back at 12. HARC is where they keep the reboots, where they frequently go on assignments to capture or kill criminals or rebels. They are numbered by the minutes they were dead until they rebooted. Wren was dead for 178 minutes the longer your dead the less human you become. Callum died at 17 and instantly came to HARC in Rosa. There he met 178 and begged her to train him. 178 agreed to take a 22 for a newbie, but a few days later she found out that HARC has tested a cannable like which affected Ever 178's best friend until HARC took her life. In order to save 22's life she has to leave what she called home. Afterwards she finds out that HARC has been doing the poisons on all the under-sixties and risks her life to save Callum's because they love each other. As she went into Austins HARC base and grabbed the cure and brought out all the Reboots with an officers daughter, Addie. After she cures Callum they head off to a Reboot reservation as soon as they successfully find the reservation. I rated this 5 stars because of the way things happen. It instantly pulls you into conflict and as the story goes on it introduces how everything works. The emotions through out the book is eerie and intense. The way Amy puts the ideas into the book is outright amazing and makes the book even more interesting. How I wouldn't think she would accepted a 22 after she said she trains higher numbers. The suspense of the story has you on the tip of your toes. Right after I finished this book I went straight to the library to get the second book, named Rebel.

    I liked Reboot by Amy Tintera for many different reasons. I liked it because the front cover was so interesting it just made me want to read the book right then and there in the library. I also like how it was about survival and about surviving with people trying to eat you and kill you. What was amazing about it was the action and the love between Wren and Callum. It hurt when I had to put the book down and finished reading it because it was very good. Even though the base of the story is kind of confusing when someone tries to tell the story to you, Amy Tintera does a spectacular job with putting in specific details and gives the book pictures in the readers mind.

    Summery: This books is about a 17 year old girl who got a sickness that makes you reboot (come back to life) after she died. Lots of people get the sickness and the humans are terrified of the sickness, and what happens to the people who die and reboot, because when they reboot they come back faster and stronger, and the only way to kill a reboot is to shoot them in the head so it makes them alot stronger. So a facility called HARC took controll over them and made them their slaves. HARC orders them to catch thieves, murderers, and people with disease in the cities, and sometimes kill people who are guilty. The reboots do whatever HARC says, and kill if ordered to, without knowing if the person is innocent or not. The main girl is named Gwen, but everyone calls her 178 because thats how long she was dead. Gwen follows the rules and kills when ordered, she does everything she's supposed to, until a guy named Callum 22 comes in and refuses to take orders if he thinks they are wrong. He doesn't want to kill anyone, and that makes HARC angry, and they threaten to kill him, but Gwen is in love with him so she finds a way to break out of the facility by making a deal with one of the guards. His daughter is also a reboot in a different place and he wants them to resuce her and take her to a save place for reboots. In the process they end up breaking into a different HARC facility and saving all the reboots, escaping and going to the reboot safe place. Opinion: I thought the book was really exciting. There wasn't a part where I got bored so there was always something going on. I liked how everything was explained nicely, so I understood what was going on. I didn't like how intense and dark it was. Most of it wasn't but some parts where. I liked that it was in the future, so could imagain what it could look like in the future. I liked how in the beginning she had no feelings, but as the book went on she started to remember how to feel again.

    This action-pact book is about how a girl named Wrin is apart of strict sytem. When you die you come back as a reboot. Stronger, faster, and less emotioal. The longer your dead the stronger you are. Wrin was dead for 178 minutes, that is the highest and longest number for a reboot to be dead for. Five years she's been in this system, know as "178, strongest reboot in the district of Texas" With her high number, and 5 years of experience, the system makes her a Trainer for new roboots. They are known as "newbies' wrin already knows which newbie she is going to pick, an athletic teen boy who was dead for 126 minutes. Even still in the reboot system, Wrin wonders about her old life as a human. She hardly even remembers it, but soon meets someone who helps her remember it. A newbie named Callum who was only dead for 22 minutes. Only twenty two? Its shocking encounter a person with such a low number. He was still practically still human! Wrin wanted nothing to do with him, and there was no way that she was going to pick him for a newbie. He was not as fast and strong as the others, it takes longer for him to heal when wounded, and is asking way to many questions. But once Wrin bumped in with him, she finds herself actually talking and getting to know him. When the choosing ceremony took place, Wrin still knows who she wants. The strongest one. As she was about to choose, Callum's distracting charm caused her to pick number 22. She is now the trainer of Callum, the weakest one of the group. But he is still her newbie, she will have to be patient with him, but know and then she is always thinking "What have I done?!" I love these type of books, somthing that could really catch my nose into. I am a huge fan of Romance, Sci-Fi, Action. This book has all my favorite subjects for a book. I just cant beleive how this book matches me so much. Its almost as if this book was written for me.

    This book caught my eye at the cover. The words'' 5 years ago, I died, 178 minutes later, I woke up'', on the cover made me just want to read the book while I was standing there in the library. This book has ups and downs in so many ways. Like on the back it says '' now that i'm a reboot I am faster I am stronger, I heal quickly, I don't cry, I follow orders UNTIL NOW. Made me wonder if she actually was human or it was just a dream. I was wrong she escapes with Callum to go find Lebs daughter. On there journey they face things humans would never live through, like when they were running away Wren got shot four times in her shoulders. fnvjbvh On there adventure they decided to go visit Callums family. When they get to the house they see a auction sign on the house. They see alot of things are still there. Later that sun set they go to callum neighbors house and sees his friend. They go to where his parents are staying. Then wren and callum released that she needed to see er family to. This book is so amazing, so interesting that i can't wait any more to read the second book. I hpoe you will enjoy thebook when you get a chance to read it

    Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest only to reboot 178 minutes later. Reboots are stronger,faster, able to heal faster,and less emotional. Wren, at 178 minutes, is the longest dead reboot with barley any human in her. After she reboots she is taken to a Harc facility to become a mean, emotionless super solider. Five years later she is that super solider, as the longest dead reboot she is one of Harc's favorites. As a super solider Wren spends her days policing city streets and taking criminals into jail. When she isn't, she is training new reboots. Her newest reboot, Callum Reyes, has only been dead for 22 minutes. He is practically still human. He is clumsy, asks too many questions, and is always smiling. Wren begins to find she still has emotions and is still somewhat human when she starts to fall in love with Callum. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is told to kill him. Not wanting to she desperately tries to find an alternative, and the one she finds requires her to betray her life at Harc, with food and protection, and put her life on the line with Callum. If you love fantasy, adventure, and romance than this is the perfect book for you. Every page leaves you drooling for more. The only downside is that there is a big cliff hanger, but with the next book in the series out, you don't have to wait for a year. This book has twist and turns that make you happy, sad, and even sick. It proves how far some people will go for love even if everything is at risk.

    Reboot by Amy Tintera is about the reboots Wren Connolly 178 and Callum Reyes 22. To be able to reboot you have to have the KDH disease before you die. KDH is a deadly disease that has basically no cure and it is spreading fast. After you die you reboot and you come back faster, stronger, less emotional and able to heal faster. The higher your reboot number the less human you are when you reboot. Wren is 17 and was brought to the HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation) Rosa facility in Texas after she was shoot in the chest 3 times at age 12. She rebooted after 178 minutes. She has the highest reboot number HARC has ever seen. Callum 22 is a newbie.He died from the KDH disease. He was only dead for 22 minuets which means he isn't very reboot like. Normally wren only trains the highest number but something changed. Callum asked her to train him. He told her that if she trained the lower numbers maybe they would turn out better. This convinced wren and she decide to train him. As she trained him they developed feelings for each other. Callum also became faster and stronger but couldn’t follow orders to save his life literally. Officer Mayer threatens to kill him if he doesn’t fallow orders. In the mean time wrens best friend Ever 56 is being experimented on because she is under 60. Ever starts trying to eat people because they smell like meat and attacks wren at night. Eventually Ever goes completely insane and starts killing HARC officers and gets killed herself. Wren is worried the same thing will happen to Callum. Leb a HARC officer that is helping reboots escape helps Wren and callum escape on one condition. They help get his daughter Addie 39 escape from the Austin HARC facility. Wren decides she need to escape and agrees to help. After they escape Callum starts to act like Ever. When they get to a house of rebels they help wren break inside of the Austin facility and get Addie. While they are inside wren gets the antidote to help Callum and they free all of the Austin reboots. They took a few HARC shuttles so they could fly to the reboot reservation. There is a sign when they get there that says “REBOOT TERITORY ALL HUMANS TURN BACK”I loved this book and gave it 5 starts for many reasons. It is full of action and in no way predictable. Amy Tintera explained this book very well it was like a movie going on in my head. This book was never boring, i was hooked from the start. it was very hard for me to stop reading. I would recommend this book to all middle school students. I really hop this book becomes a movie.

    The book Reboot happens in a time many many years from now where a disease with almost no cure is spreading throughout the world like wild fire. It is a fatal disease known as the KDH disease and is mostly common in teenagers or younger. When the disease kills them, they die and wake up anywhere from minutes to hours. But then they wake up they are not the person they were. They are almost like evolved humans. They are faster than humans, stronger, and physically speaking, they are better. If they are wounded no matter how severe they can heal one tenth the time it takes a human probably less. When they die they are taken in by HARC which uses them to police the humans. But the reboots there are prisoners taking orders or else killed which can only be done by destroying the brain. They have trackers in randoms places so that they cannot find the trackers but HARC can pinpoint their location at any time. The story revolves around a teenage girl around 17 or 18 who is a reboot which was dead for 178 minutes which is the highest number HARC has ever seen. Her name is Wren Conolly She has amazing combat skills, and is extremely strong and fast. She was trained by a man named Riley, 158 who disappeared many years ago. Now, Wren is a trainer herself training only the highest numbers and leading them to success. But something stuck out about a newbie named Callum. His number was 22 which is extremely low. At first he was annoying and weird to the other high numbers but he said to Wren, "Maybe if you picked the lower numbers, you can make them better." Unlike all the other reboots, he had something to say about everything HARC told them. She considered it and when the day came for trainers to pick their newbies, Wren chose Callum . As she taught him, she began to fall in love with him. His physical ability was not that high and as time went along he much improved. But he wouldn't follow orders until Wren was threatened that they would eliminate him. In the meantime, her roommate Ever was starting to act very strangely and she began to discover it was because HARC was experimenting on her. Eventually she couldn't take it anymore and went on a rage killing several HARC officers and then giving herself up to be killed. Wren was shaken by the whole experience. Then she was approached by an HARC officer who told Wren he would help Wren and Callum escape. So they met him on a following assignment and he gave them a tracker locator. The deal was they needed to find his daughter and get her out of the HARC facility. Then they could find people known as the rebels who were humans who were trying to take down HARC. Though they were skeptical, they went to find his daughter in Austin. For the next few days, they were trying to avoid HARC hiding from search teams and humans as well who hated the reboots. Then Callum was starting to act weird. Like trying to eat people for meat. Which was the same thing Ever was doing. When they got to Austin Wren told Callum to stay put while she found Addie. When she returned with Addie, she found Callum had eaten someone. When he came to he found out and was left with permanent guilt. Though Wren had killed more people than she could count Callum was disturbed by one death. Then, they found the rebels. Gabe, Desmond and many others. They say that Callum has another day to live until the drugs take him over completely. But, there is an antidote in the heart of the HARC. Wren decides that she will go with or without them. Most of them stay to help her so they raid an HARC facility. Addie sneaks in and frees all the reboots while Wren finds the cure. Then, the rebels go steal the guns and ammo. Wren finds a scientist who gives her the antidote. She runs outside. There were no fatalities and she got the antidote to Callum on time. They took the shuttles from the facility and flew them to the reboot reservation that Desmond had told them about. They arrive there and see a sign that says, Reboot territory turn back now. I gave this book five stars ***** for many reasons. First, the description was so vivid it might have well been a picture book. Second it is a strong story of survival and surviving the seemingly impossible, but also, an intense action line that makes me mad at myself when i have to put it down. Along with the love between Wren and Callum and the heroism of both. Though the base of the stroy would have been confusing from any other writer, Amy Tintera gave it life. I would definitely read the novel in the series and hope for a movie.

    I think that this book is really good i though it was not boring like most books. I love the book the book has to do with a girl name wren and she was a reboot and her number was 178 which means that she is stronger than all the reboot.The reason wren became a reboot was because there was a illness that if you died you will become a reboot.The way she became one is that she got shoot by a man and he killed wrens mom and dad.Wren got said but then they sent her to a place that she cant leave. An every mouth new reboots come but the problem is that they are really scared of her.An they want to stay a way from her because wren looks scary. The story starts with wren in a mission and that one of the reboots got shot to deaf wren was gust staring at him because he could not do any thing. A co pale of weeks later new reboots can and wren was one of the trainers there. But wren really paid attention to number 22 for some reason wren was connected to him. So when a mouth past she picked him for wren to train him.Also wren had a friend that they did something to her because she is acting really weird so she dissed to do something about that so wren wanted to leave she wanted to go somewhere else.So at the end of the book it says these word when we leave we will all tern back.

    This book is about a time far from now when the world is having problems with a epidemic. The epidemic is called KHD it's killing millions of people and in the states it has wiped out every state exept for Texas. Now when people die they have a chance of coming back to life called Rebooting but if you come back to life as a reboot you are stronger, faster, can heal faster, and your less human with less emotion but it all depends on how many minutes your dead for the longer your dead the less human you are. . The book takes place as a girl who was shot and killed but she rebooted and was dead for 178 minutes so she has almost no human in her 5 years later she now is the most skilled reboot. but all

    I didn't find this to be a great SciFi post-apocalyptic story, but the writing was decent and I was able to stay interested in the story.
