"No one gets something for nothing. We all should know better." Teenagers at Wisconsin's Nottawa High School are drawn deeper into a social networking site that promises to grant their every need...regardless of the consequences. Soon the site turns sinister, with simple pranks escalating to malicious crimes. The body count rises.

In this chilling YA thriller, the author of the best-selling Testing trilogy examines not only the dark side of social media but the dark side of human nature.

An excellent fast-paced novel that is different from other novels I've listened to. I highly recommend it.

Action Packed

While I really got into the story, every once in a while I found myself getting annoyed by the pedantic tone of the book. Social media are dangerous and teenagers do not know what they really need, the message seems to be. Leaving out that message would have made for a much better read (and may have gotten readers thinking instead of just rolling their eyes at the abundance of references to 'the dangerous world wide web'). However, I liked the set-up of the book and still found Need a good read.

Good story, pedantic at times

That was unexpected. I really enjoyed this book and the commentary it presents on teenage dependence on social media. A bit of glimpse of an orchestrated butterfly effect...

A decent YA thriller in the same category as Jeanne Ryan’s “Nerve”, but not in the same class. Most of the characters in “Need” are half-baked and unlikable. I can’t even say I liked Kaylee very much, but she was by far the most relatable. I was surprised when the major villain was revealed, and I almost always figure these things out well in advance, so points for that... but even then, I found the climax and resolution underwhelming. I’d recommend this story to someone preparing for a long drive or a series of long walks—it will keep your attention and won’t bore you—just don’t expect too much.

Do you NEED to read this? No, but go on.

Loved the story in the beginning and through most of the book but the ending was so predictable and disappointing

Good in the beginning

I like a decent dystopian YA novel. I enjoyed this one, although it was a wee bit predictable I didn’t mind a few things I didn’t see coming. It’s nice to have a non challenging novel where my mind can wander and I don’t lose too much plot. I find this authors books to be entertaining without fail so far. I would recommend!
