So I started reading this the night before school, I told myself that it was going to be very emotional for me and that I was going to cry a lot. So the next day I continued reading at school, and as I was reading, I thought "Ha, this isn't that b...

| This was a thoroughly unexpected pleasure. I love the fact that Colin Cotterill would take on a character and a setting, neither of which could possibly have been the result of commercial consideration. How the hell do you sell a book about a 73 year...more | |

Hey Michael, thanks for accepting friend request. Will there be an Eve and Adam 2? I loved it, and the bits of humour you included. :D
Thank you for welcoming me to your friends. First of all, just to say that I love your series GONE, and I think the best :D
Dear Michael,I would like to thank you so much for being my friend here on GoodReads, which is a fantastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people including authors and readers, writers and book bloggers. I value highly all of my friends on this site and very much look forward to discussing books with you.
Kind Regards

Okay, even though I only finished Fear a few weeks ago, my patience fore Light is already running thin. I don't think I can last...
Michael thank you for your comment on my review and for your friend request. I'm looking forward to Adam & Eve as well as the 2nd in the BZRK series. All the best!
Michael Grant, THANK YOU so much for bleeping out the F-word in your book (I'm assuming it was that particular word). It's become such a common expletive it's hard to escape it. But you have become a 21st century hero by NOT using it. Well, you're my hero, anyway.So, just thank you, I think it's awesome you haven't used it (yet; I'm only fifteen chapters into FEAR).
Grant...*kneels, begging with hands clasped* Please, please, really pretty please, sell Fear faster so the book can be shipped to my library!!!! I NEED IT!!!
Hi Mr Grant Im reading Fear and it's amazing. It kind of has a different feel to it that the rest of the books...... more phycoligical instead of full on fights and action but still has the same amount ( or a bit more) of gore! Um I want to ask you a question and I don't want this to spoil anyone's reading......., so um what made you decide to make Edilio be you-know-what and how did you expect readers and Edilio fans (ME!) to react to it? I was really shocked! :0 Edilio is my favourite character by the way and so is Sanjit and I like it how you have him an actiony scene in this, it was cool! :) saw another side to Dekka as well and actually started to feel sad for Caine and he started to become more like able. Drake is amazing as always so nothing more needs to be said about him......... :) so yea please reply my question if you can. Thank you! :D
Just read the "about me" section of your profile."...My goal in writing GONE? To creep you out. To make you stay up all night reading, then roll into school tired the next day so that you totally blow the big test and end up dropping out of school."
Your apathetic attitude towards the somewhat sensitive subject of high school drop outs (especially sensitive with Americas brittle economy) has, strangely enough, restored my faith in the human race. Don't ask me why, because I'm not sure I quite understand myself. Nevertheless, I thank you.
Hey Michael, I cannot wait until FEAR is out, even though I know I will devour it within a day and then be heartbroken that the next one is so far away. Please know there are no other books that do that to me. Sometimes I'm not sure if I like you or if I want to strangle you for doing this to me. :-P
"Anyway, GONE. My goal in writing GONE? To creep you out. To make you stay up all night reading, then roll into school tired the next day so that you totally blow the big test and end up dropping out of school. "Seriously, this is happening to me over and over again, every time i read the books. Can't get up in the morning to get my sorry ass back at school, because of this series.
But thank you so much! I really love this series, so I can't say more thank you. Realy love them!
Can't you make a movie? Please? I WANT A MOVIEE!!
xoxo your biggest Norwegian fan, Anette :D
(sorry for my bad english, but I'm a norwegian, and got the worst englishteacher you can ever imagine!)
Hi Michael! Thanks for accepting ^.^ I love your book series<3 :D And I can't wait for the book 5 to come.
Hi Michael! I'm really in love with "Gone", and I saw on your page a new serie, "The Magnificent". Will it be released in france? Thank you and congratulation for your work. I don't understand very well why the rights have not been bought yet for the cinema... I already see the movie in my head! In France the releases are very spaced out, it's hard to wait. bisou! ;-) xxxx
Hello Mr Grant I love your Gone series and Plague is probably my favorite. It's seriously creepy! I love it(!) Is there any new info about Gone being made onto a movie or a TV series because that will be so awesome. It'll be like right up there with HP, probably better! Once Again, I love the Gone series and they are probably my favorite books. Please can you let us know if there is any more news about a movie being made or anything because I would love that. Thank you. Bye! :)
Thank you so much for accepting my request. Your writing is just so fantastic and inspiring, I can't find the words to truly describe how I feel about your writing. Gone is a brilliant book and I can't wait to finish it and continue the series. :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ACCEPTING!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SO EPIC AT WRITING AND I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! THEY ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!! THE CHARACTERS ARE SO EPIC AND SO ARE TEH PLOTS AND TEH TWISTS AND THEY ARE SO AWE-WORTHY!!!!!!!!=]=]=]=]
Dear Mr. Michael Grant, Hiii! I love your GONE series. I picked up the first two from my schools Scholastic book fair. :) I flew them all then bought Lies, and Plague! Plague was so good! I didn't like the ending though...
DEKKA IS THE BEST!
hi michael. i want you to know i'm still mad at you about plaque's ending. what were you thinking? the next book better bring you-know-who (no not voldemort, i just don't want to ruin it for people who haven't read it yet) back.
Hi Michael Grant :) I just want to let you know that I am hooked on your Gone series and highly anticipating Fear (Gone #5)! The story is super amazing and you are the man at writing great twists on the plot and creating hundreds of unique characters. -Sarah
Micheal! You are a great author. I am currently on LIES! It is fantastic. I feel so far behind though because it seems everyone is already done PLAGUE!
I love the Gone series and the Magnificent 12 series! I'm looking forward to your future writing!!! :D (expcially the end of the Gone series!!!)
I just finished LIES last week, talk about leaving us hanging! It just gets better and better. I can't wait for the next book!!!! I really don't want the series to end. :-)
Your storys make me want more! I'm like under a spell! I love Gone, Hunger, and Lies(Which I am reading!) Can't wait for more! :)

You wrote that one my birthday, LOL!
On page 306 now. I've been reading almost all day. xD I don't want to finish it, it's soo good!!! I can't put the book down, just taking a snack break. xD It's AWESOME!!!!!!!! These books are the best!!
I'm on page 215 of LIES already and got it yesterday. I don't wanna finish but it's so addicting!!!!!! SO worth the wait, the book is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!! It's been so long, and now, it's getting closer and closer to May!!!! And then on May 4th, LIES FINALLY COMES OUT! Can't wait!!!!! I want to see what happens next so badly!!!!!!! Can't wait much longer!!
Hey! Sorry to bother you again, but I heard that Diana and Caine won't be in LIES much but will be in PLAGUE and that their fans will really like PLAGUE. Are there any steamy romantic scenes between the two in PLAGUE?

and are there gonna be any spoilers for lies anytime soon, by the way?
Wow. Micheal Grant ... I'm in love with your writing. I've read both Gone and Hunger and I have yet to find a bad thing about it. I adore the characters, even the bad guys make good bad guys lol. And the plot in the series so far have expanded so much from the initial idea ... I mean, how do you better than there only being kids in the world lol. Even so, I am really looking forward to the rest of the series! And you have to let us fans know if you ever visit England .. I'm dying to meet you :)
Tasha wrote: "Thx for adding me! I love your books! And I agree with you, Nicole. Diana and caine are the best!!!!!! is there any spoilers you can give us on them? also, is there a summary of Lies somewhere onli..."I don't think there's a summary yet. I'm not sure though. But I heard that Little Pete's game boy plays a big role. Also, I have a theory. I was rereading Hunger the other day and I found something interesting. You remember the chapter through Dekka's POV where she said that Diana could keep a secret? I think that this plays a big role in Lies somehow, because of the title, which from past expirience, I think we can assume basically IS the summary of the book. I'm not positive, though. The plots are very unexpected.
I just finished reading Light, and I am so sad now that its over, its like I lost a whole load of friends... I have to tell you that the end surprised me, even though it really shouldn't because it seemed like an obvious ending. but because I knew u were the author i expected it to be different, u know..., but im glad it ended this way! some of my favourite characters are still here but I lost some I never thought I would lose :( did u intend to make the ending take the readers by surprise? so thank you so much for filling, like, my past four years with this amazing and disturbing world u created... and im going to miss it so so much... and im feeling depressed now that it is over :( im never going to be able to enter a world like that again.....
