I found that it was the people and storie...

So let’s get started…   Number 5: Downsiders Universe This is a book by Neal Shusterman which has some kind of appeal to it.

Number 10: Lena from the Delirium series Although I do like Lena she can at times be very annoying especially when it comes to her image. I wouldn't say we didn't click it, it was more of a misunderstanding.  Number 9: Tally Underblood from The Uglies series I haven't read this story in a long while but it is one that I need to get back into although I do have some problems with Tally herself which prevents me from continuing this series. The problem again is with her looks which also is the main bases with this series. Number 8: Gally from The Maze Runner series I can't really talk about this one without spoilers from the Death Cure but even in the Maze Runner we jus...
