Gooooosh. This is my first time rereading the series since it first came out, I think. There are so many details that I forgot about! It is just as fantastic as I remembered.

I usually have pretty low expectations for books that have been recommended to me by certain epople, including the one who recommended me this book. I gave it a try anyways, since I needed to read it for my Best-Sellers class, too, and my hopes weren't high. But I definitely felt foolish after I finished it and was nearly gasping for air, it was such an exiciting novel. I loved it!

I probably wouldn't have read this book but then a few people in my family starting reading it and then they started raving about it.So I gave in and I'm glad I did. I couldn't put this book down it was really quite the page turner. Full of action and a little heartbreak. Starting the second one asap.
