What to say about this book....

First, I must say, it was PERFECTION. Complete and utter perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the very beginning until the very last page. The pictures in this book gave the story such a real feel. I'm so sad that it is now over, but I cannot wait for Hollow City. It will most certainly be the next book that I buy.

The characters were so captivating. I found myself loving each and every one of them. When I was reading from Jacob's point of view I felt like I was ...more

It was very slow for a while. I did not become really interested in it until page 127. Though, it did pick up pretty fast after that. I grew more and more interested as I flew through the pages. By the end, I was engrossed. Big cliffhanger ending, as I had been expecting. I'm glad that I pushed myself through this book, because if I hadn't, I honestly would have put it down and never pick it up again. ...more

I might have enjoyed this in 2012? That’s all I can say.
Didn’t work for me at all.

I think my expectations for this book may have been a bit unrealistic. The whole idea of it having creepy pictures is what really motivated me into reading this in the first place.

The story itself I think was quite interesting - if not a little too 'fantastical - the whole idea of a loop that repeats the sa ...more

Going into this I didn't actually know what this was about. It took me about 100 pages to get into and I thought I just wasn't in the mood for reading this but then - I just couldn't put in down. It's a fantastic book and I also just love the design! ...more

3.75 stars - I really, really liked the idea behind this book with the peculiar children and the photos and everything, but I didn't love all of the wight and hollows business, I thought it could have been done differently. I also didn't like the Emma-Jacob relationship, it was just weird. but overall, really cool book! ...more

What a creative way to incorporate old photos into a storyline. I really enjoyed seeing all of the characters portrayed in the photos, and how real it all seemed. Ransom is an action-packed writer, and I'm really looking forward to reading the next book! ...more
