Laura's pick for the month of August.

Here are a couple of questions that are specific to this months reading.
What parallels can you draw between CINDER and the Cinderella fairy tale?
What is the symbolism behind the glass slipper, the pumpkin carriage, the ball?
Is there a fairy godmother in CINDER, and if so, who is it?
Each book in The Lunar Chronicles will be inspired by a different fairy tale. Can you spot references to any tales besides Cinderella within CINDER?

Again, if you have any questions about this month's book you'd like to discuss, you post them here.

Here is a list of questions to consider as you read each month. I will also be posting book specific questions in the monthly reads thread.
Did the plot pull you in; or did you feel you had to force yourself to read the book?
Did the book end the way you expected?
What did you like about the book?
What didn't you like about the book?
What type of vision does the author use with her word choice? Is it optimistic, pessimistic, prophetic, cautionary, humourous, satirical, venomous, cathartic?
What effects do the events (time, nationality, physicality) have on the character's self or personality?
What would be one thing you'd change about the book?
If you could ask the author a question, what would you ask? Have you read other books by the same author? If so how does this book compare. If not, does this book inspire you to read others?
If you could cast the main characters (like for a movie), who would you pick?

If you have any further suggestions for questions, please feel free to make them in this thread.

This is a Maile pick.
