How do I quickly summarize this? LOVE! I thought this book was amazing! So I'll quit the "I loved this" crap and here's my review. Lots of spoliers, read at your own risk.
Review:
In today's time, people are being cryogenically frozen to board a spaceship called Godspeed. It's headed for another planet supposedly like earth, the flight only to take about 300 years. One of the frozen people is Amy, your average teenage girl. She has her fears, dreams, her boyfriend Jason (who was not my favorite, but he was a well thought out character), and loved her parents. She has the choice of whether to get frozen or not, and she does.
Elder is training to be Eldest of the ship and become leader. He is a curious kid and a great character. I liked him more than Jason.
Anyway, Amy gets unfrozen and is told she can't be refrozen. The ship will land in like 75 years (I forgot how much exactly, it may be right) and by then she would have aged. Amy is really mad and won't talk to anyone, but eventually friends Elder and some of his buddies. Eldest tells everyone Amy is a freak and few people accept her. Elder is in lust (although it's the healthy kind, and eventually a romance) with her.
Amy: My favorite, I love her attitude. She was easily the best character next to Steala. Elder was cool and Eldest was a good villian. I never saw the twists coming and I enjoyed this book a lot. It's just so hard to describe without going crazy on it's goodness!
So my only problems were:
1. Sexual hormones in the water. When it really comes to sex, people wouldn't be kissing. Also, what about the gays on the ship? But other than that the hormones were a good idea.
2. Religion. As an Atheist I wasn't offended by the religions being considered myths or causing problems because religion causes problems (religious people will find this offensive). But bringing in the cross and the Bibles? I just couldn't stand it.
3. The "Foul" Language. Ok, I can handle frexing for fucking (and frex for fuck), but shite for shit? It's pretty lazy just putting an e on the end and pronouncing it differently.
All in all, 5 stars and for once I read something good!
