This book was absolutely fantastic. The first chapter is amazing, moody, freaky, creepy, just seriously unsettling.

oh, i don't know how to rate this! 2.5? the thing is, it wasn't horrible! i was just kind of bored. i liked cassie at times, but the whole thing with evan was just. WEIRD. also, the whole ben parrish thing.

The story is very entertaining. I personally enjoyed it tremendously. It may not be a candidate for a literary award but it was fun to read after a long week of finals. ☺
I liked this and want to know what happens next BUT I thought it needed A LOT of editing. The action scenes were way too long and boring and I felt overall it was just too long (no YA novel needs to be 450 pages). That said, I will definitely read the next one and probably see the inevitable movie.
Sooo good. Intense, dark alien invasion plot. Had been getting tons of press, so I had to pick it up when I saw it. Great read! 1st in a series.
