May - Illuminae by Amie Kaufman

[Sylvia]

Under the theme of Space, you all voted for by Amie Kaufman to be May's Book of the Month.
I've heard nothing but exceptionally positive reviews for this book/series and I'm extremely excited to start this in May. If like me, you haven't read it, grab a copy so we can get into discovering what everyone is talking about when it comes to this book. If you have read it, by all means, join in on the discussion.

I hope I do too.

[Jenny]

This book is so good, I hope everyone enjoys the read!

[Farren]

I'll probably be the only negative reviewer you see then, because I didn't care for the story. I DNF'd it the first time I tried to read it, then I listened to the audiobook some time later just so I could force myself to finish it. It had a full cast and sounded like a movie, but I just couldn't get behind the plot.

[Tracy]

You won't be the only one who won't like it Farren. I find that our BOM's are always mixed.

[Laura]

Oh good Im looking forward to this and the next book !!

[Sylvia]

I'm pretty excited about this one but I'm not going to get my hopes up just in case lol

It's very different from anything I have read Sylvia but then again I haven't read many space books.

I've seen many people obsess about the second book. I will just need to see for myself.

[Tracy]

Let me know if you like it Sylvia.

[Lara]

I read this last month. If you enjoyed the authors' previous series, you should really like this one. I thought it was tighter, but had a similar feel.

I will for sure Hun

[L.]

I bought this a while ago but still haven't read it yet. This seems the perfect opportunity!

Cool Leo, hope you like it.

[Gabby]

I have this sitting on my bedside table... don't think I'll get to it this month (I'm really disappointed I can't fit it in) but I do really want to read it!

[Tracy]

Maybe you will have time later Gabby.

It is different Jassy and I believe that's what makes it good.

I've had hardly anytime to read this week and I haven't even had the chance to get to this either ... hate when life gets in the way of my precious reading time.

[Laura]

I read/listened to it in audio and the effects the sounds is pretty cool! But the story over all was pretty slow and just meh till about the last 20% or so maybe less. I give it 3/5

I also read/listened to the second book and it is much like the first book actually a lot like the first book but slightly better.

I agree Laura. The audio was terrific!

So I finally started reading this book. I haven't gotten to far yet but so far I have laughed at the dialogue. It's different to read but I think the style and graphics of the pages fit for the story.
