About this ebook
Der zweite Band der mitreißenden Science-Fiction-Trilogie jetzt auch als eBook! Eine fesselnde Dystopie mit Tiefgang, die sich kritisch mit den Themen Menschlichkeit, Technologie und Moral auseinandersetzt.
Sechs Monate sind vergangen, seit Lias Wirklichkeit auf den Kopf gestellt wurde. Sechs Monate voller Zweifel, Angst und Auflehnung gegen die Tatsache, dass ihr Körper tot ist und Lia Kahn nur in einer menschenähnlichen Maschine weiterexistieren wird. Jetzt ist Lia bereit, ihr neues Dasein zu akzeptieren: Sie ist ein Mech und sie gehört zu ihresgleichen. Es ist eine wilde, sorglose Existenz, die sie führen, ohne Regeln, ohne Angst. Denn es gibt nichts zu fürchten, wenn man nichts mehr zu verlieren hat. Doch dann wird Lia von ihrer Vergangenheit eingeholt. Sie muss eine Wahl treffen zwischen ihrem alten Leben und ihrer neuen Freiheit, zwischen den Menschen und den Mechs. Sie muss sich entscheiden zwischen dem Mädchen, das sie war, und dem Jungen, den sie einmal geliebt hat...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Still as amazing as Skinned, and yet different. A beautiful world and startling insight into the characters' minds. I cannot wait to read the third one! Highly recommended.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While Skinned felt like just another origin story, Crashed took the Skinned trilogy to a completely new level. While it continues the adventures of human turned Mech Lia Kahn, it also brings in deeper and better thought-out issues that would occur in a futuristic world.Lia tries to get her old life back while handling new relationships, adapting to her inability to be completely human and dealing with many harsh trials and tribulations -as well as a growing population of Mech "haters."YA readers should be warned that Crashed is considerably darker and gritter than Skinned, and seems to include many situations that some more conservative readers will have trouble with. In particular, while these incidents added considerably to the overall plot arc and the characters, I thought that Robin Wasserman sometimes stepped over a few lines here regarding what appropriate for a YA novel.Despite this, I have to give Crashed kudos for being different and somewhat more intelligent than many other YA novels out there right now. While I still left like there was room for improvement here (the next book in this series is probably going to be much better), it was better than Skinned and kept me interested in the characters and the world. Even though the book is a little slow at the beginning, once it got going I couldn't stop reading.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sequel to Skinned; Crashed is a continuation of the story and not a stand-alone book.Lia has changed. Instead of arguing against the differences between mechs and humans, she is actively trying to convince new mechs that those differences are real and important, as Jude finally convinced her. But her loyalties are being tested constantly, and when she is unwittingly involved in the beginning of a holy war against mechs, she must decide finally if she will follow Jude or betray him.While Skinned looked at the implications to self, family, and "normal" life and how all these necessarily change when a person's body so dramatically changes, Crashed is more about societal prejudice and trying to stay human when maybe you aren't anymore.I like Crashed, though not as much as Skinned. I am looking foward to the third book in the trilogy, to see how everything is going to be tied up.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The war between "orgs" and "mechs" is becoming more inevitable in this second book in the trilogy. The characters continue to grow, and the world is even more vivid. Crashed suffers a bit from second-book-syndrome; some of it is rather wordy and slow. But I still really like the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good, strong follow up to Skinned. It's in many ways a true middle novel. It gets the plot and story going, but what Wasserman does well is remind us of why this series is so good in the first place. Instead of abandoning characters from the first novel, she brings them back with a vengeance. While Skinned focuses on Lia's attempts to get away and either embrace or forget who she is, Crashed does the opposite. Lia is trapped in a war she never wanted to fight and against people she used to love. I cannot wait for the third book in this series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Second book of the Cold Awakening trilogy. This was a great second book. Lia and Riley grow closer, while Jude is Jude and hurts someone deeply. That hurt turns into a betrayal that will change Lia's life forever.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Something different. Robots and what not.
Something I fear for our future.
I defiantly wouldn't welcome mechs with open arms. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5There are “orgs” (humans) and “mechs” or “skinners” (mechanical bodies into which the contents of deceased human’s minds are downloaded) and they are not coexisting peacefully. Mechs are second class citizens, scorned by family, friends and strangers. Lia, Jude, Riley, Quinn and other mechs introduced in Skinned (Simon Pulse/S&S, 2008/VOYA October 2008) return in Crashed and live on Quinn’s estate. They are concerned about the growing conservative evangelical movement led by Rai Savona’s Brotherhood of Man to force BioMax to cease production of mechs and the movement’s impact on existing mechs. Lia’s former friend, Auden, has aligned himself with Savona. When Lia is implicated in the biohazard death of 40 residents of the Synapsis Corp-Town, she and Riley must flee. The stakes rise when a BioMax representative coerces Lia to rat out Jude and the mechs learn some incriminating information regarding the Brotherhood.Geared for Skinned fans, Crashed does not stand on its own. Wasserman depicts a depressing futuristic world in which cities have decayed and dense, overcrowded corporate towns have proliferated. Virtually nothing is natural; everything is biologically/mechanically enhanced, ergo, dulling the lines between man and machine. Mechs are the extreme. There is some action, but not enough to sustain interest. Narrator Lia spends too much time repeatedly questioning her actions/motives and those of others and not enough time trying to improve mech/human relations. Wasserman’s descriptive language enhances the story and the ending leads directly into the final book in this trilogy.
