You love it, or you hate it. Why?

[Andrea]

Based on the reviews I have seen in regards to this novel (and the entire series). I have determined that most either LOVE it, or HATE it. There doesn't seem to be much of an in between. I personally, adored this book, as well as Torment (#2). I have yet to pick up Rapture, but plan to as soon as possible.

I was completely intertwined in this story, I felt like I was there, a part of it all. Lauren Kate took REAL myths and legends and turned them into a time travelling, angel loving, love story. There is nothing about this series that I dislike.

I am curious, why did some of you love it? More curiously, why did you hate it?

I haven't read this yet but I will put it on my to-read list. I just finished Stephen King's time travel story, 22/11/1963, and got a real kick out of the time travel element. I'll go check out Fallen now.

What genres have you read so far, and what genres do you prefer? Fantasy or love stories, for instance?

I'm all over the board - I love most genres with the exception of horror, I guess.

To be honest, I am what some would call "new" to reading. I read the required books in high school and university, and read maybe a handful more throughout my life. I have only just started my journey into reading, by making my New Years resolution to read 50-100 books!

So far, my favorite genres seem to be crime (psychological thrillers), paranormal (angels, demons, etc.), and supernatural (time travel, alien, etc.) I have never been one for chick lit (romance, erotica) and doubt I ever will be. I like being on the edge of my seat, so to speak. I also love feeling like my mind as been turned inside out after finishing a novel. I like to lay there and wonder "what the heck just happened?" and mull it over for days and days.

Hi,

I am new here and joined mainly because you mentioned being "new" to reading. I am not new and was a bookworm when I was younger but I basically became a non reader when I had children lol. I didn't have the time. Now, I am trying to get back into reading (I finally got a ipad so I can take books anywhere lol) and thought it would be great to see and share suggestions.
I haven't read fallen yet though I put it on my want to read list. I am not much into romance or erotica either but I LOVE horror and most other genres.
