Well its probably for the best. 10 pages left and all I keep thinking is "Well thats 3 days of my life I can't get back"...I don't understand what the hell is going on in this book. on last chapter and things are starting to come together. But unfortunately my OCD is making me finish it. It's like a bad wreck, you just can't look away....." haha

[Lisa]

Ugh, I hate when I have books like that! I've only within this last year stopped reading books I started that weren't working out for me...I guess I was always hoping it would turn around in the next parts of the book ;)

[Veronica]

Honestly I loved the series,..." Haha, That's awesome Lisa! so you REALLY liked it that much, huh?
I actually didn't like it or dislike it. I was a bit disappointed I guess after all that I heard about it. I haven't seen the movie yet and I don't know if I want to read the rest of the series.
