Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) by Tahereh Mafi - Restarting April 18th 2024

[Nikki]

Finished have to say I struggled with this one and I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the series it just didn't grab me enough to make me want to read more, I felt like I was mostly waiting for something to happen and then when it did it lasted a chapter then back to waiting again.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I had the same problems!

[Victoria]

I'm kind of interested in the sequel, because I find her 'power' interesting. But it feels like every other predictable dystopia novel - clearly they're going to win when they fight back

[Nikki]

It seems to just follow the trend of the others doesn't it?

[[deleted user]]

I'm starting on the eigth!

[Berit]

I'm in :-) glad you're starting on the eighth!

[Stormy]

i couldn't wait to start this so i have started it a day early on chapter 11

[Stormy]

I am now on chapter 29 and starting to like this book

[Berit]

I will get to this tomorrow or the next day, I am reading a dystopian book right now I need a break in between.

[Stormy]

I have just finished this the first half I was listening to with an app on my phone but the voice was too robotic and I didn't like the first half because of this so I read the second half on my iPad and found it to be much better

[[deleted user]]

Starting right now! And @Natalie is going to get done before me!

[Stormy]

Finished this book I really liked it

[Elizabeth Emily]

Can't wait to start this tomorrow!!

[[deleted user]]

Are we going to read at our own pace?

[Elizabeth Emily]

Yeah, that sounds good to me :)

[Elizabeth Emily]

Chapter 1, 2 & 3.

I am liking the story so far Adam is a bit of an asshole up to yet but I trust him for some reason. I'm finding the story really interesting and I really like the main character. Where are you up to? :)

[[deleted user]]

Finished Chapter 5:

(view spoiler)[ I agree with your feelings about Adam, though I'm starting to like him a but more. The world is quite ... different than from what I've read before, hopefully we'll get a bit more info about where they are soon. I like the main character too, and I would really like to know a bit more aboit her past and her power. Her life seems really horrible :( I fell sorry for her (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth Emily]

Chapter 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10:

(view spoiler)[ I really like the writing style its different from anything I have read before. I like Adam more now even though I know he is a soldier. He doesn't treat her like the others. I hope he does actually remember her. I like Juliette's personality and strength and I love the fact that she didn't show she was in pain and she still stuck up for herself. I feel sympathy towards her past too though I am looking forward to seeing what her power can do. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[This is a re-read for me but I forgot how different the writing style is. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[Juliette really really likes her metaphors. It's kind of getting to me now. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ Adam > Warner (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth Emily]

Chapter 11, 12, 13 & 14:

(view spoiler)[ I am really enjoying this book. And I am actually enjoying her metaphors. I was so sure that I hated Warner at first but now I'm not so sure. I'm not sure how I feel about Adam either but I'm finding Juliette more and more intriguing. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 10:
(view spoiler)[I like that Adam doesn't treat her as bad as the others, but I don't quite know whether I like him or dislike him for being a soldier. But it's a nice twist. I'm really interested in the world, you don't find many books about such a broken world. And I agree Tahera Mafi's writing style really is brilliant (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth Emily]

Chapter thirty nine

(view spoiler)[ I am really enjoying this book. Especially finding out more about Juliette. Adam is dead. All seems bleak. However I'm still not sure what to make of Warner. He's evil but I think he only does what he does so people don't realise how vulnerable he can be. For example he wants Juliette to want to be with him. I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends. (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth Emily]

Finishing thoughts:

(view spoiler)[ I love this book! I really like the ending and the fact that they find themselves at the movement. I can't wait to read the next books to see what happens next. I also wonder what gifts/powers Warner and Adam have?... (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 49 (view spoiler)[What a coincidence it is that the two guys who are in love with her are the only ones immune to her. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Thanks, Sarah!
chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I don't know what to think about Adam but I hope I'll figure it out soon (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

End chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ Adam is so nice to Juliette and I hope so much that they can escape! I still don't understand how Adam can touch her? Warner is so terrible I hate him and his lies how we could treat Juliette like a queen.. BUT WHY CAN HE TOUCH HER NOW?? WHAT THE HELL?? (hide spoiler)]

[Dana]

cant wait

[[deleted user]]

Yeah

[Michaela]

read chapter 1 & 2 and this book is so confusing! :D

[Michaela]

Chapter 8-12
(view spoiler)[
I don't get this guy Adam at all, he is emotionless and caring at the same time and I am confused by Juliette's previous life - where does she know him from and why does she want to forget..? I mean I understand all the struggles she's been through but ..
And this guy Warner,where the hell do you come from man??
But I like it so far!
(hide spoiler)]

[Kit]

Ready to start, crossing my fingers it lives up to its hype

[Kit]

First five chapters and I'm intrigued

[Michaela]

up to chapter 20
(view spoiler)[ Adam is such a cutie and I definetely think he remembers her even though it may be a very small memory but in my opinion he does even a little, if not he wouldn't do all the things he did for her and wouldn't stay still when they treated him like shit and bear the pain..
and I think that Juliette is really damaged from being alone her whole life but now that she starts to feel something for Adam this is a whole new level of being a normal human in her life
(hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

I'm about to start reading and I'm excited. I've been wanting to get to this one forever it feels like :)

[Kit]

Did not expect that from chapter 8

[[deleted user]]

Gonna start it today XD

[Michaela]

Up to Chapter 34
(view spoiler)[
I didn't expect that Adam had a brother. Anyway James is sooo sweet!
I really think that Juliette and Adam's love is really unique and beautiful but on the other hand things are happening too fast to be real in my opinion. It actually isn't that fast story-wise :D not that I don't like it but even though I don't want to I must admit I think that because it happens too fast and too lovey-dovey something bad will happen to their relationship and I don'teven want to know :D
I also really enjoy Adam's character - how he is that smart to outwit Warner and prepare the tank and everything! He is just amazing!
(hide spoiler)]

[Michaela]

Up to Chapter 48
ATTENTION SPOILERS!
(view spoiler)[
Oh my heart, poor Adam ♥
And then BOOM, ADAM IS OKAY AND THERE IS A TON OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE STRANGE ABILITIES AND OMG :O
And the posibility of Adam having some kind of power,too???? WHAT?
Anyway I really like the story so far, fro example how Julliette pretended to relax in Warner's arms just so she can shoot him!
She is bloody amazing!
(hide spoiler)]

[Michaela]

Finished

[Kit]

I need to start reading more of the book

[Megan]

I'm just starting chapter 10 now. I wasn't expecting that to happen in chapter 8 either! I can't decide what to think about Adam.

I'm on chapter 19 and I still don't know how to feel about him but I'm really enjoying the writing and Juliette's character

(hide spoiler)]
Yes, yes, and yes. I agree with everything you said.

[Megan]

I'm on chapter 22 now. (view spoiler)[I still don't know if Adam is a good guy or not. I'm glad she doesn't seem so crazy now that she's out of that asylum place. Why can Adam can touch her without dying for some reason?? (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

I'm just about to start chapter 45 (view spoiler)[ Uh oh.. I don"t know about this place Kenjii took them to. No one is answering her questions yet.. I don't think it's a good thing. (hide spoiler)]
