Too funny!

[Chris]

What is the "5th Level of Zoo Death"? I HAVE TO KNOW!

... and just finished:

[Emily]

It's in The Princess Bride (the book), and I really wished that it was incorporated into the movie. The Prince keeps all of his deadliest animals in here and releases them to hunt them. Oh and it's underground and the 5th level is the lowest. I'm kind of on a Princess Bride kick as of late.

lol...is that a hint?!?!?! how many pages did you actually read! lol :)

[Karen ⊰✿]

I think I'm going to try and instigate a Princess Bride buddy read for around October ;)

[Vi]

I think I'm the only person in the whole world who didn't like The Princess Bride. Of course, when I read it, I didn't know there was a movie so I was a little surprised at the support.

[Karen ⊰✿]

I've only seen the movie (3 thousand times), but I've noticed on the tarot reading challenge three people intending to read the book, and I'm sure there are others. I just can't fit it in for a while!

[Kari]

I finished one last night to add to the list for LJB!

I thought I was like the only person on the planet that did not like this book. I agree with you. I think it was a cool concept, but just an overdone plot with absolutely no surprises.

[~Leslie~]

Way to go, Moonstone!!!

Did you like it Nichole? That's next on my audtiobook list.

[Nichole]

I did! I gave it 4 stars. It's short but very sweet and I have liked every LK book that I've ever read.

[Rebecca NJ]

@Nichole - Cool! I'll let you know what I think :)

[~Leslie~]

I love this series as well. All 4 books are good in my opinion, even though some people didn't like it.

[Nichole]

Enjoy Rebecca!

Leslie- This didn't feel like typical LK, but she is still Awesome! I'm looking forward to the next book. Which one was your favorite?

[~Leslie~]

No, I agree! Very different - which is why some people didn't like the series. But I loved it. I think the 3rd one was my favorite. I love a tortured hero and a heroine that cooks!

[~Leslie~]

Finished my 4th book and posted it in my reserved spot!

I can see why it is popular - I think as a teenage girl this book would be amazing. Or if I didn't read alot of dytopia I may find it pretty cool. Or if I just loved Cinderella type fairytales....
But I'm none of those things! I didn't like that the whole plot "twist" was at the very start of the book (and not hard to guess) and then it wasn't revealed until the last few pages as a "clifhanger". I only finished the book as it was easy enough to read, but if it wasn't for the TT challenge I probably would've just given up on it!

[~Melissa~]

Finished another one 5♥ 7/10/13 414pgs

[~Leslie~]

Oh, I love that series, Melissa!!

[~Melissa~]

I'm loving it!! Oh and Reaver gets his book this December ~ woohoo!

[~Leslie~]

Can't wait!! I love Reaver.
