The opening volume in the New York Times bestselling Testing trilogy. In Cia's dystopian society, it's an honor to be chosen for The Testing. But it’s not enough to pass the Test. Cia will have to survive it.

It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for—is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civilization.

When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings ('Cia, trust no one'), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever.

Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.

I am young but this story meant a Lot how a girl wanted some thing wanted to be chosen For the testing I will have to be honest the beginning was a little boring but then once we got into the middle I started to feel how she felt I can feel being away from family or how friends die. It must be sad even if you don't know then but seeing a Solis person body is to hard to even listening to. The pain she felt. Felt so real that her loved one Almost died. Is to hard to imagine. And how she felt for the human mutants was like you care for a human that is trying to kill you to be honest I will hate a person trying to kill me and not hesitate to shoot them in her position what's I am trying to say is this book is a great book and how they left us off with a cliffhanger I would like to see a testing number two. And I am a person who don't like books and for me to say I want another one is like saying I want a new game. I hope if you read this you will feel how I feel!!!!????

Loved it. Admired Cia's ability to face adversity head on. If you loved Hunger Games, this is a new take on the genre. Different enough to enjoy.

Have not finished yet. Story is very good. Almost like divergent and hunger games had a child. Unfortunately.. I cant take the readers voice.. I find that it is very robotic and every sentence ends in a high voice like its a question... I will stick it out because story is good though.

The reader was great and she made it feel like every person is a little different but the writing it self was good but the way the main character talks it feel almost anti climatic but over all it's great
