This was a fun, quick read. Intended for the young adult audience, it made reading it on my distracted-mother's-half pea-brain a breeze. The author is LDS and I got the feeling that she wrote the book from the perspective of, "What would life have ...more

So, for the first half of this book, I wasn't sure I liked it. It even felt a tad sac-religious to me. Of course, I realized that the father was being represented as a sacrificial Christ-like figure but it just felt a little over the top to me. Bu...more

I was surprised by the twists and turns in this final book. Many told me they were disappointed with this book but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Can't wait for the movies now!

Loved it! It held my interest and kept me wanting to read on, in spite of it's morbid subject matter. I am happy to have finally read a good book after a string of duds. Took me 2 days to read this one. Sure, the house fell apart in the mean time...more

It took me 2 months to read this book. Designed to be a mystery of sorts, it just wasn't fast paced enough to keep me interested. I do like to finish what I start though, so I finally forced myself to spend time reading and finishing the book. It ...more
