You know, one thing I both love and hate (in a good way) of Michael Grant's Gone is that in book one, there's just that one major death: Bette. The first murder of the FAYZ. There is a lot of death in general in book 1, but it also feels kind of distant. But Bette seems to be the one who makes it sink in, I guess, that these kids can and will die stuck in here. And over the course of the series, the amount of deaths grow and become less distant and more real and in your face, raising the stakes higher and making you wonder just how many of the characters you've seen grow over six books will make it out alive. And if they do, at what cost?
