Julianna Bagott got it right

Pure is a story that is dirty and covered in a post-apocalyptic dust. The world is gloomy, ugly and dangerous. At least the part that Pressia happened to live in, together with the majority of the apocalypse survivals. She is only 16 but she has to fight for her right to live. Even if the life is worse than the worst nightmare. As rightfully stated on self.com,“Pure makes The Hunger Games look like a garden party. ”

It is a great book. The first part of the trilogy written by Julianna Bagott is a masterpiece. It is a great representation of the futuristic young adult novel – the new trend that took over the magic and witches.

The book should not be read by the very young ones. The images of deformed people and the horrible reality that the characters live in might be too much to handle by a sensitive 10-year old. The ugliness of the world of the future makes you feel uncomfortably terrified. The author creates the world which, even though set in the future, is still strongly connected to the world we live in. The people who survived the apocalypse might have changed in their physical appearances, but they are still driven by human emotions that are so close to ours. Julianna Bagott shows us how a person of today would feel when trapped in an irreversible and inevitable future of Pure. 

The characters are very real and not generic at all. They have both the bad and the good sight. There are only a few characters that could be easily classified as the villains.

I loved the book. I cannot wait for the next parts. I also like the series website . I am not sure about the trailer. I only saw it after reading the book and I think the visual impact is not strong enough, at least in the first part, where we meet the main character. Let’s hope that they will do a better job in the movie. The rights to the book have already been bought. It will be produced by the same person as the Twilight movies. I hate the Twilight saga. The producer will have a chance to redeem herself.
