Yeah, I'm still going to watch the movie once it comes out on DVD but the book really didn't do it for me either.

Yeah, it really does depend on your mood and whether the book is riveting enough.

Hmmm, why don't you add more in. You are working through your jar at a pretty great rate. I'm so far behind lol

It's not an easy book to love, I gave it 4 stars but probably really only wanted to give it 3.5 stars. Good for you for finishing it though.

I'll keep that site in mind when I'm stuck on remembering what has happened while waiting for the next book in the series.

hmmm, I remember loving Everneath but I read that a long time ago before there was a bombardment of similar stories. I thought it to be different from what I had read before.

It was just too much and not enough feeling. I guess I'm just not going to click with Oliver and her way of storytelling.
