So, this review was supposed to be up earlier and I wasn't able to get it up. Things have been crazy at home (getting ready to move), and I haven't been able to finish this books, however I am doing a review of what I have read as of today...
This book is an interesting and action packed book. Similar to the Hunger Games, Divergent, etc. it's fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait to see what else Joel has in store for us. I am really diggin' this book. Like I said, I can't say a lot, but what I can say is good. A better review will come when I finish it.
Thank you Giselle, for your patience, and including me in this tour!
On another note, a giveaway for a Amazon gift card for this tour, is attached on the side bar.

Meritropolis by Joel Ohman
(Meritropolis, #1)
Publication date: September 8th 2014
Genres: Dystopia, Young Adult
In Meritropolis everyone is assigned a numerical Score that decides their worth to society and whether they live or die. After a young boy is killed because of a low Score, his brother plots to take down the System.
The year is AE3, 3 years after the Event. Within the walls of Meritropolis, 50,000 inhabitants live in fear, ruled by the brutal System that assigns each citizen a merit score that dictates whether they live or die. Those with the highest scores thrive, while those with the lowest are subject to the most unforgiving punishment–to be thrust outside the city gates, thrown to the terrifying hybrid creatures that exist beyond.
But for one High Score, conforming to the System just isn’t an option. Seventeen-year-old Charley has a brother to avenge. And nothing–not even a totalitarian military or dangerous science–is going to stop him.
Where humankind has pushed nature and morals to the extreme, Charley is amongst the chosen few tasked with exploring the boundaries, forcing him to look deep into his very being to discern right from wrong. But as he and his friends learn more about the frightening forces that threaten destruction both without and within the gates, Meritropolis reveals complexities they couldn’t possibly have bargained for…
