I read and finished The Hive by Barry Lyga. I think this book is a window for me; a window is like an opening to a different world that I experience. The book is a realistic fiction book. I chose this book because when I first saw it, I read the review and thought it would be an interesting book to read. The book is like a window to me because it shows a perspective in a fiction world. The setting is in a era where social media has nearly taken over. Now, people who do things that are normally not illegal are harassed and chased by people who are called HIVE JUSTICE. HIVE is a online social media platform where everyone gossips about everything. If someone says or does something and is condemned too much, they will receive HIVE JUSTICE. There are 6 levels of HIVE JUSTICE, each more serious than the other. The story focuses on a girl whose name is Cassie McKinney, she is really good at coding and hacking and goes to school. But one day she made a joke that gets condemned by over 200 million people and is on level 6. This means that anybody who participates in HIVE JUSTICE can kill her on sight, and there is no time limit. The protagonist has to run away find a way to decrease the CONDEMNS, which are later revealed to be mostly only fake accounts with bots. I enjoyed this story because I think the settings and plot are really interesting and cool for me.
