Oh yay! I read this ages ago and wanted to go through the whole series from start to finish. Starting soon!

[Maxine Marsh]

Read the first chapter last night. Its as good as I remember. Unfortunately thought I have a 6 book bundle so I have no idea what percentage I'm at, so I'll stick to chapters I guess. Anyone else start this one?

[Justin]

I bought one of the newer ones but dont even remember how many i read, at least 3. I dont want to reread the entire series though, i think i will just lurk here and get my memory refreshed by reading your comments

[Justin]

And just so i have something to add, the movie is pretty good. I didnt watch it untill a few years after reading the book though.

I've read the first 4 chapters and thought it started well. A little slow but building the characters well.

I did the same thing Justin, read the first 3 or so and then watched the movie a few years later. I enjoy the Odd character. There's so many antiheroes lately that its nice to have an actual good protag :) I read another chapter last night, enjoying the first book again.

I'm on chapter 18 now and thoroughly enjoying the story again.

[Kate]

I'm no further on yet but hoping to get to this in a day or so.

Anyone start this one yet? Its a fast read, I finished it this morning. I liked it better the second time around. I'm definitely going to continue with the series, as I have the 6 book bundle and have always wanted to see where it went.

[RachelvlehcaR]

I have the book and I'm planning to reread it but right now my attention is on my local women's march. We have been making Pink Hats and organizing a lot. So, I will get to it as soon as we are done with the march.

Sorry.

[Kate]

I've started but not very far in. I'm enjoying it so far.

I just finished this at the weekend, which, i think, makes me the worst buddy reader ever.

I thought the story started off pretty slow and it was until around halfway through that it picked up speed. I had initially read about 30% but finished other 70% over the last week.
I really liked Odd, I thought he was a genuine good guy who was sweet and caring. I watched the movie so knew what happened in the end but it still brought a tear to my eye.
