I had higher expectations of this book, giving that it will turn into a movie, and it has Dylan O'Brian there. I love Dylan O'Brian.

But I think the book went really slow, I didn't like the author's writing style at all, it bothered the hell out of me the use of "klunk", "shuck", and whatever else.

2.5 stars at best. I was really looking forward to this book... However it was not a good as what I hoped. It took me a long time to finish this book and I kept falling asleep while reading it.
