Not happy with the way you look but don't like diet and exercise? No problem! Rent the perfect body any time you like. All major credit cards accepted.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I really felt for Callie trying to look after her brother in a world where no one cares about young kids and the old people live until 200. The concept of renting out a body is creepy, and yet plausible, which makes it even more scary. The twists and turns in this book, wow, can't wait to read book two.

Loved the book! The whole concept of being able to rent a young body seems frightening - it might seem far fetched now but look at the evolution of nanobots.

the girl was stupid cuz of author, i actually liked the character herself. but maybe i woulda liked it more if she had wrapped it up in one book instead of dragging it out.

I liked the book although it is clearly written for teens. I did not like the Hunger Games but did like this except for the ending. Not cerebral but ok bus fodder.

The book is amazing and i loved every word! You were drawn to the book like metal to a magnet. I loved how these grandparents weren't the normal loving, kind ones that sent you money for christmas or bought you chocolate for your birthday. They were mean, old people who are rich and hated young people unless they were their grandchildren!!! Imagine that. Over all it is a MUST READ to all pre-teens and teens.

I originally picked up this book from the publisher in advance of it's publication (thanks to Random House!). And wow. It floored me. With the dystopia trend running high, there are tons out there that are good, but few that really wow you. The Hunger Games and Maze Runner trilogies hit in the top, and in my opinion, Starters is right up there with them. The setting is nothing new, a world that has gone through some catastrophic event leaving only teens and younger, and seniors alive (*note: this is also the first dystopian that has given me a satisfying reason as to why/how the way of the world!). Here's the catch. Those aforementioned seniors aren't your loving grandparents: they don't care about and don't like the "starters" (younger generation) and in fact, rent their bodies out to be used as play things. That's right. An old person can inhabit a younger persons body and do what they will with it. Gross. Callie ends up in a sticky situation, and uncovers an evil plot...which is a horrible description of the amazingness that goes on and is perfectly written by Lissa Price. All in all, if you're loving the dystopian trend right now, Starters is a MUST READ!
