Review of The Elite
The Elite is a great fiction book that feels a lot like a movie. DJ Wilson is the author of this book, and he has done a great job with its storyline and concept. This is Wilson’s first book, and I think you might find it as creative as I did.
Humanity began on Mars, but due to a disaster, its inhabitants had to leave and find another planet to live on. Some people moved to Earth, and some remained on Mars to try to adapt to the new state of the planet. But after many years, they realized that surviving on Mars was impossible, so they moved to Earth. The first set of people that arrive on Earth are known as Apoikians, and the second set that arrives years later is known as Iatros. When the Iatros arrived on Earth, they found out that the Apoikians were different from how they were on Mars, and it was a problem. Several years later, a new threat to the Iatros has emerged in the form of an organization called The Movement, and Clay and Kate soon find themselves in the middle of the conflict.
The storyline and concept of this book are my favorite things about it. The author meticulously crafted the storyline to feel like all the facts and histories of humanity explained in the book are spot on and real. The pyramids created by the Iatros as power plants felt realistic. The author wrote with simple words that most people will understand, and I enjoyed his choice of words. I also admired Remington's wealth and how he traveled wherever he wanted with so much ease.
Despite enjoying this book, there were some things I didn't like about it. A good example is how I couldn't feel the urgency or gravity of the things happening to Clay and Kate. I also wished there was more suspense in this story. I didn't like how the book was unable to hold my attention because of the way the plot and chronology of events in the book were executed. It also felt like some things were happening too fast or too soon, and a good example is how fast Clay stopped mourning his loss and was soon in love again.
I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars because the reading experience wasn't as fluid as I'd have liked it to be. The lack of suspense also affected the story, thereby preventing a great story from reaching its full potential. I didn't rate it lower because the story was good, and the concept of humanity originating from Mars felt fresh to me. I also didn't find any errors, and I believe that this book received professional editing. I recommend DJ Wilson's The Elite to people over the age of 16 who won't mind a short, fast-paced, sci-fi book that has elements of drama and romance. People who like puzzling books or crime investigation would also enjoy reading this book.
