Disclose Audiobook Summary

Twisted facts and bent truths take center stage in this sequel to Verify, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins calls “a thought-provoking tale of intrigue, beautifully crafted.”

Meri Buckley has lost everything. She lost her mother to a fight much bigger than herself. Her father to grief, fear, and denial. And the truth–to an overbearing government that insists that censorship and secrecy is the only path to peace.

But though Meri and her band of truth-seeking Stewards did lose the first battle in their quest to enlighten the public, they have not yet lost the war.

Meri can start the revolution she seeks, if the powerful figures who profit from the status quo don’t find her–and kill her first.

Joelle has a way with words. She always has. This series is probably one of the most important series in YA history, and I am really hoping that it gets more publicity. It has really made me think about the information I am consuming and choosing to believe. It also made me realize that the words I choose to use are very important. Being precise is key to communicating well. You need to understand the meaning of the words you are using before you use them, and you need to think about how others may interpret those same words. Joelle has done an amazing job of writing a eerily real world dystopian. And I hope everyone gets to read it.

In Verify, Meri found out about the words the government removed from the dictionary, and how her mother died. She knows that "truth" and history are no longer facts, but information to be manipulated so the government can maintain control. Meri has gone undercover, but things are not exactly going the way she planned. Meri has been taken to the farm, which is actually a reeducation facility. Her plan is to get evidence and then use it to start a revolution.This is a great book that emphasizes the power of words and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. You'll find shades of Fahrenheit 451 and Orwell's 1984. The story is timely considering what we are seeing in the world today. We can never forget the importance of truth and the power of words.

Read these books and be willing to think. Important AND entertaining.

Book 1 Verify started a wave of truth seeking for Meri and Book 2 Disclose brings that search for truth to its full potential.

This series was really good. I would recommend it to anyone who thinks we have been lied to by our government and that we aren't always being told the truth. We are very content to go with the flow and not disturb the status quo. We like our lives and don't want anything to change it. But what if words we didn't recognize started to appear again? What if places we were told were run on volunteer help were actually prison labor camps? What if people disappeared off the streets, never to be seen again? Or people we love were suddenly in an "accident" and we found out later they were killed? What if the textbooks didn't teach the true history? That there were "workers" not "slaves"? And there was never an American Revolution, just a bunch of like minded, decent Colonists that got together to write the Constitution and form America? That the word, revolution, meant nothing other than a measurement of time?

Wow. This was better than the first book and so inspirational (and a little too close to reality for comfort)."'No one is ever chosen to start a revolution,' she says, gently placing a hand on my shoulder. 'Revolutions begin because people step up, marshaling their resources and doing what needs to be done.'"

Awesome, awesome book! I do love that it's set in Illinois ;)Meri goes through more terrible things than any person should ever have to, and yet that goes on in other countries every day, and may well be done under cover in our own. "The declaration was written because the Continental Congress realized the opportunity in front of them and understood that if the moment passed and things went back to what they had been before there might never be another moment like it again."A good quote from the author's acknowledgments, "The truth can only matter if it starts with you." asking people, especially young people to verify their facts before believing that they are true. This was a tough book, Joelle, thanks for writing it

I’m good with how this ended (and horrified with the middle! my least favorite thing to happen to a protagonist!). Lots of weird typos in the ebook version, but whatever.

The second book in this series is amazing. It is scary and relevant in 2020. Truly fantastic and terrifying.

Joelle Charbonneau does not disappoint in this conclusion to her dystopian duology that began with “Verify.” Meri’s Chicago is virtually crime free and the streets glisten without litter and boast stylish and eye-catching buildings. But the facade comes at the very great cost of truth—truth in words and in history, both distant past and the past of just yesterday. Words have disappeared from use, paper is no longer used and the electronic information given to students and citizens bears little resemblance to what has really happened. Meri discovers these facts in Verify and at the book’s close, the attempt to start a rebellion that will allows truth to blaze once more has resulted in death and the “Stewards” who tried to spark a revolution have gone into hiding. With the organization in disarray and people still disappearing with no verifiable reason, Meri and her closest compatriots have a plan to try again and this plan puts our heroine in the gravest danger yet. The action in “Disclose” begins in the first few pages and does not let up. Not ever. Like so many dystopian books, a thinking reader will not fail to see the parallels in our own society, filled as it is with fake news and those who simply watch the TV or their social media page and never once attempt to verify what is expressed as fact. Powerful book and one that is free of any sex or profanity and keeps its violence to what is necessary without resorting to shock and awe in order to gain readers. A must-have for all secondary level libraries serving grades 7 and up.

This is the sequel to "Verify" (2019). Even though the writing is a bit uneven, this conclusion to "Verify" is thought-provoking. In a world where books and paper have been eliminated, the author shows us how easily words, images, facts, and truth can be manipulated and eliminated in a digital world. This is a timely message in a world where misinformation, lies and conspiracy theories are all too easily spread and accepted. The main characters begin to notice words and images that have been eliminated from the language-- words such as "verify." Like Winston in the classic dystopian book "1984" the characters realize that the orderly, "safe" society they live in is anything but safe and orderly. They discover what happens to those who ask too many questions. In the epilogue, the author urges her readers to to question the words and even images they encounter. Think of times in human history where stereotypes and lies have been too easily accepted. Research. Trust expertise. Listen. Verify.*Book titles should be italicized rather than be put in quotes, but I do not see a way to italicize!

Joelle Charbonneau is formidable at writing YA dystopias, and she does not disappoint in this harrowing conclusion to the Verify duology. I haven’t read dystopia in a few years (because, y’know, the real world happened), and this book was extremely difficult to read… but also impossible to put down.Charbonneau does a great job with things that are viscerally horrifying, without ever overdoing it beyond the realms of plausibility. Another hallmark of her Testing trilogy shows up when Merri has to struggle with whom to trust, and how the world is never as simple as “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” There’s a lot of emphasis placed on the media, reporting, and photojournalism. There’s also a lot of shades of grey, showing how people who commit horrific things can be disarmingly normal with their own families and so forth. It’s a terrific dystopian story for our times, and well worth the discomfort of reading it.

A very satisfactory conclusion to the story started in Verify. I like the way that it encourages the reader to question what is presented to them as fact, to ensure that they verify the truth. I think that there are very important parallels to the world we live in, where people already carefully curate their own versions of truths through their social media. We all need to be critical consumers of the media itself as well. In this era of fake news, you can find out what is real and what is not, if you have the skills to verify fact and fiction.The action in this instalment runs thick and fast, keeping this nail biting to the end. A great duology, and I can't wait for my daughter to read it.

This was a good conclusion to this duology with one caveat: (view spoiler)[ I was really irritated that Meri, the protagonist, ended up becoming the face of the truth-telling that was going to continue. She just wanted to go back to school, but was a bit pressured imho to become the reporter for Gloss. Let her be a (relatively) carefree kid again and let the damn adults step up and fight the good fight. (hide spoiler)]

this book was miles better than the first one, without a doubt. the last 70% or so, at least. honestly the first part of the book was the only reason i took off a star. but the rest was captivating and it felt so real and i couldn’t put it down. i thought it had a nice satisfying ending, too. it was a little hard to follow at times and the amount of typos was insane. but overall, i don’t regret reading this book.

Oh my goodness!!! This was such a good ending to the the Verify story. I think Joelle writes some of the best stories I’ve read. In Verify and Disclosed she gives an in depth look at the truth and lies that can be made with a few clicks of a button in the world today . “Trust but verify” she wrote, the message she get across is clear and certain while keeping the characters and storyline emotional and action packed. Can’t wait to see what she has in store next!

I liked this better than Verify. I think because the premise was a given here so didn't have to deal with plot holes on that. I like that they met more groups and got out of Chicago. It was also nice seeing other perspectives like Rose (Meri's best friend) and Wallace (the Marshall). More forbidden words are introduced. The book also ties things up nicely.

** spoiler alert ** I love the premise, a modern day Fahrenheit 451, but the ending was a bit too similar to Hunger Games, even if it was the right ending.
