In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland... before it's too late.
Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust - and even love - again.

Clarke's Perspective
I didn't really have any problem with Clarke's perspective, but it wasn't as strong of a viewpoint (as attention-grabbing) as Glass's and Bellamy's viewpoints were, but I did like it.
Wells's Perspective
I felt like there was way too much focus on Clarke from Wells... I mean we get it, you like her! It was boring and drawn out to the point that I wanted to just skip his viewpoint every time they came up (I overcame that! and read through the entire story though). I was just very disappointed overall with this perspective and character.
Bellamy's Perspective
This viewpoint was probably my favorite out of all four viewpoints. I found it the most interesting of the perspectives. I feel like his reason for coming to Earth with The 100 was the most amazing anybody could do for anyone.
Glass's Perspecitve
I loved Glass's Perspective because it was different than the other three because it showed what life was like in space and not down on Earth. Her perspective also held an air of mystery to it, because for the longest time you didn't know what Glass had done to have been Confined.
Rating:
4 stars
Review:
The Hundred is a fascinating story set in the future. It was an interesting take from most dystopian books that I have read because Earth has supposably been uninhabited for years. The storyline itself was broken up into four different character viewpoints: Clarke, Wells, Bellamy, and Glass. I enjoyed every characters' perspective except for Wells's. One thing I did like was that there were two guy viewpoints and two girl viewpoints, and that they all didn't take place on Earth, and not everyone of the viewpoints was from someone who was Confined (which is basically being in jail). I do want to say I was very hesitant about reading this book because of all of the viewpoints. I really prefer one viewpoint (and sometimes two viewpoints).
