About this listen

Twenty-five-year-old Joey Graceffa has captured the hearts of more than 8.3 million teens and young adults through his playful, sweet, and inspirational YouTube presence. Already a best-selling author with his memoir, In Real Life, Joey now presents his first novel, Children of Eden.

Rowan is a Second Child in a world where population control measures make her an outlaw marked for death. She can never go to school, make friends, or get the eye implants that will mark her as a true member of Eden. Her kaleidoscope eyes will give her away to the ruthless Center government.

Outside of Eden, Earth is poisoned and dead. All animals and most plants have been destroyed by a man-made catastrophe. Long ago the brilliant scientist Aaron al Baz saved a pocket of civilization by designing the EcoPanopticon, a massive computer program that hijacked all global technology and put it to use preserving the last vestiges of mankind. Humans will wait for thousands of years in Eden until the EcoPan heals the world.

As an illegal Second Child, Rowan has been hidden away in her family's compound for 16 years. Now, restless and desperate to see the world, she recklessly escapes for what she swears will be only one night of adventure. Though she finds an exotic world and even a friend, the night leads to tragedy. Soon Rowan becomes a renegade on the run - unleashing a chain of events that could change the world of Eden forever.

Wow!

I didn't really have any expectations when I started this book but I absolutely loved it. I love Rowan and all the characters. One of very few young adult books I've read where the love story/s don't seem cheesy. It was adventure-packed from start to finish and not predictable for a second. I'm downloading the second book immediately. Narrator was excellent as well.

So unpredictability

This book was amazing, it was unpredictable with lots of twists.
The end of the book left me with so many questions and feeling like there must be a 2nd. I so hope that get to make a movie out of this
The story was amazing
How the reader invites you in to the story really had me not want to leave and it was overall amazing and brilliant

Shamelessly embraces the young adult genre

Eden is a good book. It's not completely original and it uses almost all of the common cliche plot devices found in every other young adult novel, but very rarely to its detriment. It's a fun ride, it's well read, and honestly it gives a lot higher quality than I expected from a novice novelist.

My Review

I loved this book. I felt like I was apart of it all. I felt every emotion from fear to excitement to frustration. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a bit of mystery/romance/Crime.

I absolutely fell in love with this book. I am a massive fan of Joey and have been following him for a long time. This book and a very creative and unique story line, I am a quite big book worm and have never seen anything like it❤️

Immature

I find the author constantly tries, and fails to push his inappropriate and incorrect views even though this book seems to be written for a younger reader.
Also the narration is over emphasised and annoying.
