THE TESTING by Joelle Charbonneau

Do you possess a winning combination of theoretical knowledge, practical skills and raw intelligence?

Do you have what it takes to lead others?


Are you willing to crush those who stand in your way?


Every year, the United Commonwealth invites top graduates from each colony to participate in The Testing.  Successful candidates will go onto The University and help the government rebuild our war stricken world.


This process is not optional.


Disclaimer: The United Commonwealth is not responsible for candidates' psychological and physical health during The Testing.


This is a dystopian-type novel that incorporates elements from both 'The Hunger Games' and 'Divergent' which I thought was pretty cool.  While the first several chapters take a while to establish the story's background, I loved the way the plot was built up to include more action and thrills along the way -  it got juicier and juicier until I was filled with suspense!  If you enjoyed it as much as I did, you'll be pleased to know that there are two more books to follow.
