So true.

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ "It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next isn't what you'd plan for" (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Poor Sammy :( He's too young to understand this and asks the un-askable questions (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ gotta feel sorry for the kids. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 22 - Lol @ the Justin Bieber reference.. Well played Rick Yancey.

[Rachael]

Through Part 1... That part was kinda all over the place.. I think 90% of it was her flashing back and recounting what has happened in the first 4 waves, but I kinda got lost..

I can do that too! I just look like an idiot doing it haha

[Rachael]

Ohhhhhhhh.. the boy is Ben Parish. Of course he is.

[Rachael]

Chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ I'm kinda confused about where this Evan kid came from... (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Oh yah okay cool... You can read her journal and then kiss her.. She totally wanted that

[Rachael]

If they fall in love I'm gonna puke...

[Rachael]

Oh now we're Sammy.. Geeze this is all over the place!

[Rachael]

What do you think to the new POV from Zombie? They're CONFUSING!!!

Do you think Cassie can trust Evan? Uhm... idk. There's something weird about him. Where even did he come from.. Too random

[Rachael]

Wait so does Zombie = Ben Parish ?

It does jump about. I found it confusing both times I read it. I really dislike zombie's chapters as well.

[Rachael]

I'm bored out of my mindddddddd!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh dear. I got really bored in places too. I can't say I liked it any more the second time compared to the first time either.

[Rachael]

Ugh of course as soon as I start liking Evan (view spoiler)[ we find out he might not even be human! I WOULD! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I only like Cassie's parts

[Rachael]

Chapter 72 (view spoiler)[ Okay well things are finally starting to come together but what a mind twist.. My brain is trying to wrap its tentacles around this.. So am I to assume that everyone in the camps (Zombie & now Sam) have aliens that have "woken up inside of them" as well? This is crazy... (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I feel like Evan and Cassie fell in love way too fast and unrealistic

[Sarah Elizabeth]

(view spoiler)[ yep. reminds me of 'the host' (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Finished... Wow... At least that book picked up a little in the end.. Earned it's 3 stars instead of 2.. So what do you think it means that Ben doesn't remember the babies? He remembered his sissy the whole time and then when Cassie asked if he remembered that he said "what babies?"

[Rachael]

Ah, I haven't read The Host yet. Did you like it?

[onceuponatimeareview]

Moved. :)

[onceuponatimeareview]

Thanks :)

[Tammie]

i would like to join this one

[Taylor]

I am also going to be joining in :)

[onceuponatimeareview]

I will be be starting this soon.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Chapter 1-5 (view spoiler)[This is very interesting and it has me in it already. I love how the writing style is first person present. Its nice to see the story actually happen as it go along. Cassie seems like a strong character. There will be a love interest. I heard people talk about Ben so maybe him? (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

I'm starting now

[Irene]

Starting tonight :)

[Taylor]

Chapter 1-5 (view spoiler)[ The way the narrator speaks is definitely different than anything I have read before. I am enjoying the jokes the main character makes though. I love the flashbacks as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 26 (view spoiler)[ I really like the switch up between characters. And I'd put money that this is her big crush Ben Parish. (hide spoiler)]

[onceuponatimeareview]

Chapter 11- (view spoiler)[ I'm confused on how the story is being telling. I know it is consisting of flashbacks and present. I having a hard time keeping up with the both of them. Other than that this is a great introduction to the world and the waves. I hope in the second part it will be less of a world building with more action. (hide spoiler)]

I totally agree with you. I kept getting confused as well.

[Twila]

Chapter 52 (view spoiler)[I don't think I like this Ringer girl. (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

I'm reading this one, I'm just being slow and haven't made it past chapter 8 yet :)

[Irene]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[I really like the writing style so far. The first two chapters I was annoyed by it, but now I like it. It also feels fast paced. (hide spoiler)]

Hmm, I didn't get confused. I'm reading it in Danish. Did you read it in your own language? I don't know if it makes a difference though :)

[Irene]

Chapter 25
I think there's a mistake in my book... This sentence just doesn't make sense! (view spoiler)["I think he sees me as a younger brother" I mean, Cassie is a girl?! Why would Chris see her as his brother?! (hide spoiler)] Is it like this in your books as well or is it a translation error? 'Cause it just doesn't make sense!


ETA: (view spoiler)[Oh wait. So it's another POV? Now I'm confused! (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Chapter 31
(view spoiler)[Okay, starting to get bored. And confused. How many POVs does this book have?! (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Chapter 35
(view spoiler)[Jeez! I really don't like Cassie anymore. She's so whiny and angry and ugh just stop please. I really hoped she would hurt Ewan because, well, that would've been fun. Of course she didn't though. *headdesk* (hide spoiler)]

[Taylor]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ Currently on part 2 and this change in POV is really confusing me. Who is Sissy? I think maybe its from Sam's POV but it keeps talking about the "baby sister". I hope this clears up. (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Chapter 68
(view spoiler)[Just shoot him already! She pointed the gun at him like what, four times this chapter? (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

I did not like this! I really really really loved part one, but the rest...not so much!
(view spoiler)[So confusing! I'm not good at multiple POVs, but this one was worse than ever! I couldn't tell the different "voices" apart. Sigh! (hide spoiler)]
