[liv, The All Mighty]

I am so sorry that I am just putting this discussion up, but this is the discussion for discussing our August BOTM, the Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.

I already read it and saw the movie. Did everyone else read it yet? I don't want to spoil anything.

[Grace]

Oh lucky! I'm still trying to find a book and then watch the movie after... Also don't spoil anything but how was the movie compared to the book in your opinion?

[Sophia]

Nope, haven't read it yet. But i did get the book!

[liv, The All Mighty]

I am still waiting for a copy to come in at my library. I’ve been waiting for what feels like FOREVER. I am definitely going to wait to see the movie until I read the book.

I'm still waiting on the book! Ughhhhh

[Jasmine]

The movie was altogether pretty good. Was it as accurate as I hoped it would be? No. (Especially with a couple things, but I'm not going to say anything). It was somewhat inaccurate but not as bad as say.....Avatar the Last Airbender or PJO. Because of that, I personally didn't LOVE the movie. On the other hand, my family didnt read the book and they really liked it so I guess it isn't too bad.

[Cass]

I personally was pretty disappointed with the movie...It really didn't follow the books, and it was supa' cheesy.
Butttt I wasn't a HUGE fan of the books either.... They were good but not the best...

[Grace]

I put this book on hold at the library! What day does this BOTM end?

[liv, The All Mighty]

Generally it ends the last day of the month.

Also, I am STILL waiting for a copy of the Darkest Minds to come in at my library!

Same! Running out of time...

[Grace]

Yeah I don't know when my copy will come in

[Angelle]

I am half way through and it is great can’t wait to see the movie!

[liv, The All Mighty]

I finally got the book from my library. I started it today and I'm already on page 115. I'm loving it. Also, I realized that I never announced the September BOTM so I will send out a message tomorrow.

My library I guess won't be getting it anytime soon so I'm gonna have to placehold it

[Grace]

Yayayayayayayay my copy finally came into the library! Now that it's September.... How ls everyone else doing in their reading or searching for copy?

[liv, The All Mighty]

I’m LOVING it! I’ve had it for like two days and I’m half done 😂

[liv, The All Mighty]

I just finished the book and I'm legit crying. The ending is so sad! 😭😭 I can't wait to see the movie now!

[Grace]

Aww! I've reading it today and Im totally hooked! Anyone else wish they're could be a period at school for just reading?

[liv, The All Mighty]

Omg YES! I read constantly in class 😂

[Grace]

Yes! 😂 I always get in trouble for reading when the teacher is trying to give a lesson

[liv, The All Mighty]

[Grace]
