Hannah and I!
Join in if you can!

[Amanda]

I'll join. I own this and keep putting off starting this.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!! Welcome Amanda!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Awesome!

[Amanda]

I did not get a chance to start this yesterday. I plan on starting later tonight.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I didn't either! I plan to start tonight :)

[Amanda]

10 chapters in.

Phoebe (view spoiler)[curious to see what will happen with Tommy, she seems to be the only one who is being nice to the dead teens. Also interested to see what will happen with this study they want to conduct on volunteers. (hide spoiler)]

Pete (view spoiler)[hate this character already and I think this Julie he keeps talking about will come back at some point. (hide spoiler)]

Adam (view spoiler)[I'm glad that he stood up for Tommy (hide spoiler)]

This is okay so far, not totally enjoying the jumping between all the different characters. Curious to see what will happen next.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

just started chapter one

and "living impaired" makes me snort too! LOL

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters
I agree, the jumping with no warning is not fun to read :/

Phoebe(view spoiler)[ Yeah, it's strange to me that they let the living impaired go to school with living kids and they don't really know anything scientifically about them? odd

anyway.... (hide spoiler)]

Pete(view spoiler)[ that guy is so over-the-top awful. beating up people, threatening sexual attacks. just...really?
lol he's just so extremely awful. I hope Julie shows she's been alive but wanted nothing to do with him1 (hide spoiler)]

Adam(view spoiler)[ he's so sweet. I'm glad he isn't mad that she seems to like Tommy (hide spoiler)]

Tommy(view spoiler)[ soo....is it just me? it seemed like he could read his mind AND put his own thoughts in people's minds.... WOW (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

I agree about Tommy (view spoiler)[I got that impression too, will be interesting to see how that unfolds. (hide spoiler)]

I'll be starting this back up again tonight.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm scared now to read this with all the jumping around.

[Amanda]

The jumping around is very annoying and it doesn't let up the further you get in :(

20 chapters in

Tommy (view spoiler)[unfortunate that he quit the football team because of the other players not wanting him there. (hide spoiler)]

group (view spoiler)[I'm not sure how much I trust this group. I keep thinking that there may be a sinister reason behind they whole thing. (hide spoiler)]

Meh, I am not really enjoying this one so far. I don't have any motivation to pick this one up. I will try to work more on this tomorrow.

it's mid paragraph, mid chapter....with no warning...you're just suddenly with Pete instead of Tommy or Phoebe. It's weird and makes it tough to figure out who you still are.....

I don't blame you for worrying! LOL

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

It reminds me of when we all read Intertwined. All the voices and never knowing who it was.

Tommy (view spoiler)[ I know, I'm sad he quit too. unfortunately, it's not going to change anything either. Pete is still going to try to kill them all... (hide spoiler)]

group (view spoiler)[ It's odd that this book has become so political and such a soapbox for accepting others
I don't mind a LIGHT tap to remind us but JEEZ they are just beating us over the head with the message (hide spoiler)]


I'm not loving this one either.
I'm just going to push and finish it!!

[Amanda]

I plan on pushing through this too. I hope I can finish this tomorrow.

I agree (view spoiler)[the political aspect keeps getting shoved down our throats. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done

it Kind of redeemed itself at the end

Adam(view spoiler)[ i'm glad it became a little less political and soapboxish and more about what was going on

pete LOST it. I can't believe Adam died but now it will be interesting to see how this all plays out (hide spoiler)]

Tommy(view spoiler)[ I'm especially disappointed in him
I'm glad he ran some social experiments but I'm sad that he didn't let Phoebe know beforehand. She really risked a lot to try and he...was just hoping to get a kiss and see if he would become more alive. It seem so selfish (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm going to skip out on this. I have way too many other reads to get done. There is a 98% chance that I will dislike this book. To me it just doesn't seem worth the time.

[Amanda]

Skipping this would be a good decision. I did not enjoy this one myself. Just finished this and it felt like a chore.

Adam (view spoiler)[couldn't believe he died either. Looks like he came back though. Appears Phoebe intends to test out Tommy's theory about love and bringing someone back. (hide spoiler)]

Pete (view spoiler)[he totally lost it there. His hatred towards the dead kids drove him to insanity. (hide spoiler)]

Tommy (view spoiler)[I didn't like his ulterior motives. I thought he was being sincere. Just using Phoebe because she was being nice to him. (hide spoiler)]

yeah, I agree. skip it. not that good...at all

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Congrats, Amanda, for finishing a crappy one! LOL
it's hard to keep reading when they're bad!

[Amanda]

LOL, it's so hard to keep reading when they are crappy.
