Divided We Fall (Divided We Fall, Book 1)

De: Trent Reedy

Narrado por: Andrew Eiden

From the author of Words in the Dust: an actionpacked YA novel set in a frighteningly plausible near future, about what happens when the States are no longer United.

Danny Wright never thought he'd be the man to bring down the United States of America. In fact, he enrolled in the National Guard because he wanted to serve his country the way his father did. When the Guard is called up on the governor's orders to police a protest in Boise, it seems like a routine crowdcontrol mission... but then Danny's gun misfires, spooking the other soldiers and the already fractious crowd. By the time the smoke clears, 12 people are dead. The president wants the soldiers arrested. The governor swears to protect them. And as tensions build on both sides, the conflict slowly escalates toward the unthinkable: a second American civil war.

With political questions that are popular in American culture yet rare in YA fiction, and a plot that's both excitingly provocative and frighteningly plausible, Divided We Fall will be Trent Reedy's very timely YA debut.

The ultimate audiobook

The book divided we fall is the best audio production I have listened too. There are multiple readers portraying the different characters. Original music has been produced for this book The plots is pretty unique. The book does not resolve

decent book

very good story line, a little slow going, but hopefully 2nd book picks up a bit.

Very great idea of how a civil war might start

I really enjoyed this book from the characters to the chapter breaks that are like radio clips, tv shows and X posts. Very creative. The idea behind this book is not far fetched and could really happen.

I will say that Dannie’s mom…..OMG! You want to talk about a failed human. They did a great job of making me despise her for her weakness and the way that she basically forced Danny to be her husband because she couldn’t adult (rant over)

Great book!

loved the book

I loved the story and the suspense it give you between chapters and the cliff hanger at the end made me die waiting to listen to the next book

Awesome!!!

This book was an awesome book for me to listen to when I was free got me through a lot of bus rides as well!

W book

It’s a very good book with an awesome story line and lots of action I would reread

I think it’s an important piece for young adults to read. I mean even “grown” adults should read it.

I think it’s an important piece for young adults to read. I mean even “grown” adults should read it. It is crazy to think this was written almost 10 years ago and rings a little too true to current events with how media and social media have interfered with daily lives and the dangers it causes. I mean the bloody chaos that is enacted due to sheer lack of reliable communication. I feel it’s very neutral too, showing the dangers of both ways of thinking.

Amazing

This book is amazing I have read the paper version and the audio book takes the story to another level with its playing of songs and news reports it feels like your living the events.

Interesting concept

Overall it was a good story. I enjoyed the plausibility of the storyline. Good read!
