Explanation During Books The Roar (The Roar #1)
Mika and Ellie live in a future behind a wall: Solid concrete topped with high-voltage razor wire and guarded by a battalion of Ghengis Borgs, it was built to keep out the animals, because animals carry the plague. At least that's what Ellie, who was kidnapped as a child, has always been taught. But when she comes to suspect the truth behind her captivity, she's ready to risk exposure to the elements and answer the call of the wild. Listen. Can you hear it? She's strapping on her headset, jumpstarting her Pod Fighter, and--with her capuchin monkey at her back--she's breaking out!Rating Based On Books The Roar (The Roar #1)

I really liked this book it was very interesting it reminds me of Eoin Colfer books when it comes to the writing and the pacing it was very interesting from start to finish. I really liked the characters especially Mika he is a very interesting and well-written character I liked all of the interesting details that were revealed as the story progressed. I really liked the story the plot moved at a steady pace and in this book I liked the book's world it was interesting and awful all at the sameEmma Claytons The Roar is one of those books I picked up to complete a deal in fact, I picked up both books in this series. Although the books were used as a means to ensure I reached the right number of books to get the offer, I was interested in giving this series a read. In fact, I was rather eager to dive in. Although I feel as though young adult dystopian has grown to be overly repetitive, I still have a weakness for the genre.Unfortunately, there was too much of that repetitiveness for me
"The Roar" is... interesting, "Ender's Game" meets a sci-fi environmentalism extreme. I was unimpressed with the writing style itself; a more flowery diction would have gone a long way to portray some of the dream motifs and fantastical, superpower elements prevalent in the storyline, I thought. But then again, it's a science fiction story at its core.I did enjoy the character development. As the story begins, you assume Ellie is the main character, and keep on waiting for the plot to refocus on

Twins Ellie and Mika are
The book "The Roar" by Emma Clayton is a good book. In the beginning it gets confusing about the setting and about the twins Mika and Ellie. But in the end it shows how the two twins stories come together. Also i didn't like the ending because it doesn't tell you how it ends!
Still 4 stars even though the ending was awful. Awful unless there is a sequel out there somewhere that will answer my questions. But I searched every end page and could find no indication that this was book one in a series. There were so many things that needed explaining and wrapping up and I was left to make too many assumptions. I needed closure.Other than that, this was a splendid book. Exciting from the get go--a wonderful read for kids who might not be ready for the intensity of Hunger
if you like fast action filled books than this is the one for you
