I went to a book shop looking for catching fire, and then I saw a book with an interesting cover, so I bought it along with catching fire. It's like killing two birlds with one stone :)

I was at a friends house, (maybe in late 2010?) and I noticed Hunger on his bedside table because of the flourescent orange pages. I had a look at the back and my friend told me he hadn't read it yet but thought it looked good, and supposedly it was about people with powers, which I'm a sucker for. So I kept my eyes open for Gone in the bookshop after that:)...

I'd seen the book a few times in the library but it seemed like a book about gang violence so I never read it. Finally though, curiosity won and I wanted to find out more about the adults disappearing so I read it, and it was nothing like I thought it was going to be! I loved it!

I was walking around the bookstore in October of 2010 looking for something to entertain me when I picked up two books: The Hunger Games (which I had heard about from friends and decided to try) and GONE (which I had never seen/heard of but the back sounded interesting). So, I ended up purchasing both of them. That night, I was confronted with a decision to make: Which should I read first? For whatever reason (I now believe it was the Gaiaphage subliminally calling me), I chose GONE. It took me quite a while to get into it (as I thought the beginning was rather slow...) but then it got so much more interesting and I finished it in a few days. Then I referred it to a friend, then another, then another, then a few more... Unfortunately, one of those friends didn't like it but the others are now huge fans like me!

I was at my library at school and I noticed Gone in the "new books" section. Unfortunately, the cover didn't appeal to me because it had the characters on it. But, what everyone says "don't judge a book by its cover" lol, so I didn't and decided to read the synopsis inside the cover and on the back. Actually on the back it said something about "orange napalm" which was used in the Vietnam War and I was learning about the Vietnam War at the time. So, it appealed to me right there. And I usually read the first couple of pages of a book before I get it. And it had me hooked from there...yeah lol. :]

I was in this gifted class and 2 of the other kids were talking about it and i was half listing and it sounded cool so i asked them what they were talking about and they said it was GONE. So i found it and read it. Next thing i knew i was adected and loved it. Now the most tradgic part of my life is waiting nearly a year for the new books. I dont know what ill do after i finish the. Last. Book. Light. I dont want the serise to end!!

i dont either...
but maybe it could be like percy jackson with a series 2?

im gonna ask micheal grant that...

this is last year in 7th grade i was in school and my art teacher was out so our class had to go to the library for the whole class(?) so my friends were obsessing over a book that was in 3d do i went looking for a book and i found gone on the shelf and finished it in 3 days. PS LANA IS THE BEST!(and u kno it)

i was walking around in asda and noticed it because it stood out from other books and it looked cool with the coloured pages, i had only seen it once or twice in other books stores but i never read the back cover of it so when i did read it i was like hmm i might like this, i never ever read books because i just cant be bothered but i got hooked to gone and ever since ive spent time on the gaiaphage website and pre-ordered every book and even read it on my school bus to pass the time, but if it didnt have the bright colour and didnt stand out from other books i dont think i would have read it.

It was a good friend of mine who first told me about the series. i remember we were sitting in my kitchen eating and she was going on and on about some book she read that was pretty good and how HOT the guy on the cover was. I was like whatever, she gushes about hot guys all the time. Then like a week later when i was bored I asked her what book she was talking about again and she told me it was GONE. So looked it up on my new nook decided she had a pretty good point about the guy so I read the back and bought the book. I have been hooked ever since.

I was going to buy The Hungergames, and then I saw this package of three books in one for only ten euros; Twilight, Hungergames and GONE. And though I really hate Twilight, GONE seemed very interesting, so I bought it. And I started reading it in the evening, and all of a sudden it was morning.
Then I went to buy the other books. I never even opened the THG, the book where I was going for, until three months after or so.

My friend had bought it for me on my birthday in 2011. Gone was just one of those books lying on my book shelf, collecting dust. At first, it just kept thinking that this book was probably filled with lots of violence [boy was I right!] But I finally read it because my friend kept begging me to (even though she's never actually read it herself), I've been obsessing over the Gone series ever since.

I was given a free proof copy :)

Sixth grade, my teacher recommended it. Then I randomly found it on a book shelf at the library a few months ago and reread it, and Plague&Fear.
