    Amazing Sequel!!
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2014*

The Treatment is the stunning conclusion to the 1st book in the 2 book series that begins with The aProgram. It was EXCELLENT!! It even began a huge debate with my family members on how it IS an epidemic. I love the kind of book that can stir up a discussion. The ending made me cry which is a hard feat to accomplish. So many times I put a book I'm uncertain about on the back burner, thinking it just doesn't  seem like it'd be my first choice of books to read, only to kick myself for not reading it sooner. I did it again with The Program, banged my head against the wall after I was blown away, and then quickly dove into the sequel. **Beware** After the next paragraph there's a possible spoiler, so when you see the stars, skip until you see the possible spoiler end alert.The Treatment picks up exactly where The Program ended-James and Sloane are getting out of dodge to try to meet up with some rebels. From there it's all action, intrigue, soul searching, and simply put-impossible to put down!! Sloane & James really grow as characters. I love them both like I've known them for years. We meet some new friends and adversaries along the way, and run into characters from the 1st book as well. It was a refreshingly great sequel with none of the middle book blues that a trilogy often has (seriously-sometimes the best choice is just to have 2 books to keep out the fluff that's often involved, which appears necessary just so that there are enough words to fill 3 books when in actuality two books would be better; more concise).*******Possible Spoiler Ahead********I will note one oddity but I'm going to try to be as unspecific as possible. Notice how in The Program 1st came the red, then came the yellow? It's opposite in The Treatment. I thought I'd misread it, but the explanation for the red in this book matched the explanation for the yellow in the previous book.*********Possible Spoiler Over********With the litany of people being treated for a multitude of personality disorders (myself included, which is perhaps a small part of the appeal for me), with an ever growing number of medications (there's a new commercial for a new med monthly it seems), I could TOTALLY see this type of thing occurring. Kind of like with antibiotics not being as effective due to over use (that shouldn't be a spoiler....it's explained in the 1st chapter of The Program). It makes you wonder. It also just occurred to me that it doesn't even have to be as extreme as things get with The Program. How many kids/adults are being treated with stuff that they don't *actually* need? I'm sure a lot, especially compared to even 20-40 years ago. Sorry for that little rant, it's just that so many dystopian books are amazing, but this 1 is even easier to imagine happening than others I've read because there is a "mental health epidemic" of sorts (at least in the U.S.), even if we don't use the word "epidemic".Anyways, I DEFINITELY recommend reading The Program, and immediately after finishing it, getting started on The Treatment!! I believe most people will enjoy this series, no matter what they usually read!!Did I Read/Buy the Book? YesAm I happy I read it? DefinitelyDo I recommend it? Y-E-S! YES!!!!!

    Amazing.
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2014*

I was so excited for this book to come out. I wanted to see what happened to Sloane and James after they went on the run. Luckily for me this book picks up exactly after the first book ends. Sloane and James are on the run from The Program, they know that they will stop at nothing to get them back. There was the addition of new characters, some I liked some I did not care for like Dallas, I did not like that she was coming onto James with Sloane around, it was almost as if there was a need for a triangle, which there was if you count Realm, the friend that Sloane made inside the treatment center. While he was a great catalyst for getting Sloane out of the program and on the run, he was kind of useless, and to later find out his past with Dallas, kind of made me upset that both characters were still involved.This book had angst, James leaving, the Program after them, the continuation of the “epidemic” of suicide spreading to more than just teenagers, but it was not the kind of angst I hate. While I was not happy that James took off after Realm showed up, I think it was needed to help show who Sloane really had feelings for. The feelings between James and Sloane were something that intrigued me about this book. You could still see the connection they felt even after going through the Program and being “cured”. It was as if they had a bond that could not be broken even if they were not supposed to technically remember each other that way.I thought the tempo of the book was really well done as well. It didn’t drag on, it was fast paced and the story made sense all the way through. I enjoyed the twists and turns and outcome that the author gave us. I was shocked at some of what we found out and loved the ending.

    Not as Good as the First Book
  

*by H***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2014*

I loved The Program by Suzanne Young, so I had to get The Treatment as soon as it was released to find out what happened to James and Sloane.  While I didn't love The Treatment as much as The Program, this was still a good read.I like the title.  It's a good fit for what the books about, and it fits with the first boo in the series.I like the cover.  I like how, to me, it kind of portrays James and Sloane on the run.  I had the hardback copy of this book, so when I took off the dust jacket, it had the pill cover which is the treatment.The world building was done fantastically!  I could see each of the scenes in my mind clearly.  This time, the setting of the book takes James and Sloane all over the United States.The pacing was a bit slow for about the first two-thirds of the book, and I was really disappointed.  However, I kept reading because I desperately wanted to like this book.  Luckily, I was rewarded when the last section of the book picked up pace, and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.The plot is good.  Sloane and James are on the run from the Program after rekindling their romance from before the Program.  They meet other rebels who are on the run, and they all try to stay one step ahead of the Program.  Sloane is still wondering if she should take the Treatment, which would restore all of her memories, that Realm gave her.  The only thing I didn't like about the plot is that it was too mushy when it came to the romance.  The first book in the series wasn't as bad as this.  Plus, it seemed in this book that James and Sloane were having sex at the end of almost every chapter!I thought the characters were written really well even if James and Sloane were humping like rabbits all the time!  Sloane is still a very strong female character, and in this book, we're introduced to Dallas who is also a very strong female character.  Dallas does have some vulnerability though, and I found it very interesting to learn what she was like before the Program.  We're also introduced to Cas in this book.  Cas was like the comic relief in this book.  He would always try to defuse the situation.  Realm is back in this book, and I don't really like him.  He's not written poorly, but he just grates on my nerves the way he's always trying to make Sloane second guess her love for James.  James is very hot-headed in this book.  I still do like him as a character, and I can understand why he got angry.I enjoyed the dialogue especially when Dallas or Cas where involved in the scene.  The dialogue felt very natural and fitting for a young adult book.  There is some swearing in this book as well as violence.  There are some sexual scenes in this book although they aren't graphic.Overall, The Treatment (The Program #2) by Suzanne Young starts off being slow but picks up during the last third of the book.  The characters are still written very well, and the world building is fantastic.I'd recommend this book to those aged 16+ who enjoyed The Program and want to know more about Sloane and James.
