Talk:Gone (novel series)

Reliable source needed for Light and Fear
Please provide reliable sources for the contents of the Fear and Light sections. The books are atleast one and two years away from publication, so the I am considering the contents of the sections as speculation. Dracoster (talk) 17:08, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I have removed contents, as nobody bothered to discuss it. Please keep speculation and unverified sources away from the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dracoster (talk • contribs) 18:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I have now added a dispute template to the Fear section. Dracoster (talk) 15:35, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Merger

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

I propose merging Gone (novel) and Hunger (Gone series) into one big page on the series under this page's title. I have failed to find significant (free) coverage for the books. A couple mentions can be found at places such as here and here, but overall, there's not much out there. Hunger's article was recently prodded, which I contested and have instead proposed this merger. As the proposer, I obviously support the merger. Airplaneman  ✈  19:33, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, can always be resplit if more sources show up, Sadads (talk) 19:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. The articles are too small; they should be merged into one page. &mdash;C Teng(talk) 14:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you both for your input. I will proceed with the merge. Airplaneman  ✈  04:13, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Supernatural?
Is this series really supernatural fiction? With all these new plot elements with aliens and nuclear radiation, isn't it closer to science fiction? &mdash;C Teng(talk) 18:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I would agree that it is more sci-fi than supernatural. 173.180.72.42 (talk) 02:39, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Sam and Caine poofing?
Did Sam and Caine poof? In Novels under Gone it says: Sam then poofs because Caine waited for their birthday to attack. He is confronted by his mother who tells him to take her hand. Caine then poofs as well and joins Sam and their 'mother'. Then it goes on saying how Caine and Sam refused to go, which is contradicting, isn't it? Also, in the section for Hunger it references Sam and Caine repeatedly, so Sam and Caine must still exist. The other sections do not talk about how Caine and Sam are dealing with living with their 'mother'. It may be a good idea to delete those sentences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.11.153 (talk) 21:50, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No, they did not "poof". When Caine and his group filmed their classmate "poofing", they saw that time accelerated for the person at their 15th birthday, so that 10 seconds would seem like 10 minutes or 10 hours, and that they were confronted by the gaiaphage (described as a ring of fangs with glowing green eyes) in the form of whoever they longed the most to see, usually a parent.  Sam and Caine were in the time-acceleration phase, but rejected the gaiaphage's "offer" and returned to reality. 173.180.72.42 (talk) 02:43, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

The link to the Polsih site is a misunderstanding imo. It is purly comercial site which uses name "Seria Gone" for their own goals - it has nothing to do with book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.49.26.241 (talk) 13:36, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

theres no section for Brittney- Ellodi-Fune on Deviantart I really like this book so far. I just recently checked it out at our school's Media Center. I espically like the part when all the kids are wondering where the teachers are. (Slipknothood (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)) Slipknothood

Poorly written
After skimming through the article, I've noticed numerous poorly-worded or grammatically incorrect sentences, missing full stops, and a general - how can I put this - ungainly writing style. It needs a lot of correction. Matt The Sixth (talk) 15:57, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I found the same problem. Bit late, I know, but I've fixed everything now.--Varun T.Talk 13:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

The third paragraph in the intro still has a few poorly written areas. For instance, sentence 2 begins "It was set four years later from the events..." IT should be re-worded to something like "It was set four years after..." Also, the third sentence begins with "And then", which should be omitted. I would have made these changes myself; however, I am not able to edit the introductory paragraph. Could someone with sufficient permission please fix this? 169.199.30.228 (talk) 16:17, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

BZRK Wiki Page.
I am interested in creating a page for one of Michael Grant's other Novel series, BZRK. I am currently in the process of creating it in my Sandbox (Although I haven't done much so far) If anyone is interested in collaborating, feel free to add to my Sandbox, and I'll make a proper page once we have enough written on it. Thanks :) Cybergrany (talk) 12:30, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Hunger (ending)
Do Caine and Diana have sex at the end of Hunger? In the following novel, Lies, when Caine and Diana are on San Francisco de Sales island they have sex for the first time, meaning they couldn't have done so at the end of Hunger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.149.25 (talk) 01:41, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

gone awards
does any one know what awards Gone has received?82.22.51.67 (talk) 10:21, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

I hope none, because it is one of the worst possible writings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:AB88:373C:3080:5D8B:48F:50B8:5120 (talk) 17:47, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

John Cena
Please do not vandalize this page by repeatedly adding 'John Cena' to the page as it is completely off-topic, and can be taken as evidence of bad faith edits.

Did the Rockborn gang let the universe get shut off?
I think they did because Michael Grant stopped writing further on with the books. 105.245.44.15 (talk) 12:24, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
