I finished the second section and can't wait until I can start Part 3. It's getting better as the story progressives. :D
I’m done with Part Two as well and it is getting so good. I wish we would have gotten more time with The Haunter. I know he was bad but his part was interesting and I like how he ended up in a barrel. Lol
I was a bit confused, at first, as to why Leif and Nick couldn’t get out of the barrels. Then I realized its for the same reason Allie couldn’t get through the steel door of the factory. Lol, when I finally got it, it was like a lightbulb came on!!!
I know we’ve left her behind for now, but how do you feel about Mary? I’m not her biggest fan but at the same time I get were she’s coming from. I believe she does some of what she does to keep everyone safe, at the same time I think it’s partly to keep everyone dependent on her.
Can’t wait to read Part 3!
I know, I loved the Haunter and it made me laugh too when he ended up stuck in the barrel. Which makes me think the McGill must be very powerful to have captured him, so I'm interested to get to Part 3! ...and I wonder if we'll see more of him in the other books.I feel SO bad for Leif and Nick! Poor things locked in a pickle barrel. Hopefully they'll get out in Part 3 because I really like the interaction with Allie and the boys.
I'm kinda torn about Mary. I can understand where she's coming from but I feel like she's holding something back. I'm curious to find out if there's a twist to her character or story. I did like the backstory about her brother. That was so sad. I wonder if we'll ever find out what happens when you sink...do you just get stuck like the kids in the barrels or what happens?
I haven't been able to read all week because after work I've been helping out with VBS (a summer program for kids held at church). It's a week long event so I won't be able to talk tomorrow. However, this format seems to be working with communicating our thoughts about the book so I hope you don't mind if we skip Thursdays online discussion.
I felt the same about Mary and her brother. It almost felt a bit harsh that she lost him so quickly. It would be interesting if her story had a twist or two further in the book. I’m hoping we’ll find out what happens when they sink too. I can’t wait to find out who or what The McGill really is and all the things it can do. Allie’s reactions with Leif and Nick are great and I think they all do better together, so I hope she can rescue them.
No problem with skipping Thursday, I can understand with you helping out with VBS. I enjoy this format, b/c I can message you while it’s still fresh in my mind.
