Aww I hope you find someone! Love this book!
It's an amazing book and trilogy! Hope you enjoy it.
One of my favourite books EVER. Hope you enjoy it!!
If you still want to read this, I'm in :).
Tessa I am actuality going to finish it tomorrow. :-( Starting book 2 Sunday or Monday. Want to join?
You should totally try to catch up, Tessa! This series is awesome ;)
I'm too late. Again. :p I don't have a copie yet :(
I'm so sorry! I miss out sometimes too. You don't think you might be able to catch up?
You should totally try to catch up, Tessa! This series is awesome ;)I don't have the second book yet. I don't buy an entire series before being sure I'll love it all and that requires reading the first book :).
I'll see if I have time to get to this one soon, but I won't make any promises.
Tessa even if you can't catch up I'd live to discuss it with you! And David loves this series so much that I bet he would too!
LOL yes! I'm always up for chatting about this book, so read at your own pace and add your comments here and we can respond :) I hope you like it!
Yay! I knew you would be up for it David!
Ok, I'm finishing up some current books today and will start on this and another few tomorrow. :)
So, I started this today. :)Aww...no women. At least I have the dog to keep me entertained if I can't get a kickass female sidekick XD.
"Quiet Todd!"

Woo I love the knife of never letting go!! I'll chat about it any time
I'm halfway through the first book and I must admit I'm starting to get impatient. He has that damn journal and won't let Viola help him read it. If it's that sort of book where everything could have been resolved with one bit of information that the main character has but never actually tried to understand it, I'm going to be very upset, because that's like...the worst cliche ever.Also, why didn't it tell us what Matthew showed him? I like a little suspense, but too much just gets me annoyed. :( Right now I know less than the main character and he knows pretty much nothing. I'm starting to feel like Jon Snow. :(
I do try to take in consideration the fact that he's only 13, but really....I want more.
Yeah Todd does get on your nerves but you must finish! This book is not my favorite. But everything that I have learned in this book promises that the series is going to good!
I suppose I did read it when I was a lot younger... but seriously stick with it, it gets really emotional. I remember getting a bit irritated at that bit too but by the end it you won't even realise what a journey it took you through. Or at least I got really into it :P
Ok, I'll stick with it. I'll return with more opinions tomorrow. Best case scenario: I'll finish it by then.I still love Manchee, he saves the book so far XD.
I am also on the middle of book 1. The first chapter about killed me. A talking dog and the misspelled words... Glad I stuck it out because it sucked me in. Ready to hit the point where we finally find stuff out though.....

I'm sorry Courtney, but I will not continue to read this with you. I really can't. I just dropped the book today. I'm so disgusted right now. The story wasn't particularly good but it all turned bloody awful when Todd decided (view spoiler)
This is not for me and I don't understand what the author was thinking when he decided to add such a bloody and useless scene in a children's book.
I can understand Tessa. I think that for me I viewed it much like The Hunger games in the arena seems and Twilight with the vampires. But I'm with you, its not pleasant to read. However, and I'm not discrediting your decision at all, that scene is important to tge storyline. At the time I think I felt like you but toward the end of the book I understood.
In The Hunger Games it was different because Katnis was trained, she was smart she knew she had to survive and she had killed before [even if they were only animals]. Here, besides the fact that so far the story makes no sense and their journey seems useless to me, Todd is also a very unlikable character. He makes mistake after mistake only to make an even bigger mistake later on. I can pass over some stuff I dislike as long as I still like the main character, but right now I just hate him. I also read some reviews when people say that Todd will stay pretty stupid till the end. That he's just a tool to show the world and what it can do to a person. I'm sorry, but I don't want to read about a stupid person. I'm judgmental like that >.<.

Here, besides the fact that so..."So have you given up reading it then? I guess after The Hunger Games and A Game of Thrones its not as gripping... I did find the book quite weird at first(I can't really stop reading a book once I've started it) but once I met Viola I started getting into the story. To be honest the only reason why I read the next book was because of the ending of the first book, its where the story starts getting REALLY interesting. Todd doesn't really change until the third book but by then I was desperate for him not to change!
I'm a person that cares more for character development than world building. It's just a personal preference of mine. In ever story I'll care more for the person than the actual facts.Maybe I would have liked this one better if it would have been one of my first, but after reading so many great books I'm getting kind of picky. Sorry :( .

After reading pretty much the same books I probably would've felt the same way :)
I thought this was a stand alone book
I'm so glad there are three books in this series, I thought it got better and better with each one :)
