[Emma]

Join Vicki and myself reading this free kindle book.

[Vicki]

Yay! This one looks so good!!

Thank you for making the thread for us. :)

[Emma]

It's okay, this one has been on my kindle for ages, bout time I read it :)

[Vicki]

My book is already here! :o)

[Emma]

It's free on the kindle, I think.

[Vicki]

It's currently $2.99, but I got the book from the library.

[Emma]

Oops was free when i got it I think. Oh well. You wanting to bump up the date then?

[Vicki]

November 28 work?

[Emma]

ye sounds good :)

[Vicki]

Great! Thanks :)

[Vicki]

I was wondering if you'd mind if we do this on Dec. 1 or 2 because I can use it for a challenge but my books have to be read in Dec. If not, I'll use another book and stick with our plan.

[Emma]

1st or 2nd is cool :)

[Emma]

Changed it to the first, but if you can't read it until the 2nd it's cool :)

[Vicki]

Thank you, Emma. :)

[Emma]

It's okay, was originally in December anyway :)

[Vicki]

Lol oh yeah, I forgot that.

[Emma]

Oops I forgot about that will try to start tonight.

[Vicki]

I finished only through Ch. 3 but I really like it so far!

I'm a little concerned at this point to find out what (view spoiler)[Psion Beta actually is and just who this "Commander" is, but he sounds very controlled...maybe too much so. (hide spoiler)]

I love the action in the first few chapters and I enjoy the characters' names. Who is (view spoiler)[Feet anyway? LOL (hide spoiler)]

I'm still trying to totally figure out who/what the (view spoiler)[Shocks and Elite are. I thought the Shocks were like the police at first, and then there are the shockers which seem like weapons similar to guns. I'm just touch confused but I'm sure it'll all get worked out. (hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

Vicki, I will start soon had a migraine yday and it not shifted yet. Sorry

[Vicki]

I'm so sorry to hear that but no worries whatsoever! I know I won't be able to read much today since I have work and then immediately after I am going to my daughter's CNA ceremony/graduation or whatever it's called LOL and she said it's two hours long and then who knows what! So if I get on here today it will be later tonight. I hope you enjoy it too.

[Emma]

I will start as soon as the headache gone, it's fine I just hate starting a book when I feel like this, I feel I cannot give it my full attention and don't enjoy the books as much.

[Vicki]

Oh, I totally understand! No worries whatsoever! Just relax and take care of yourself. I'm in no hurry at all!

[Vicki]

How's your headache? I hope you are feeling better by now.

I haven't read anymore in the book. I figured I'd hold off on this one since I have other books I need to get done and I'm not behind on this one. Well, I might be because I'm not sure where you are in the book. LOL But I do plan to get to it this weekend, either today or tomorrow.

[Emma]

Still bad, been to docs and it's some sort of virus, it'll prob last a few weeks :( I have read the first chapter, will catch up to later today. It's good so far, I am intrigued.
This will proabably be a slow one for me, but you feel free to go at your own pace.

[Vicki]

I'm good with slow! Lol it's not due back till December 22, so I'll take it easy but steady.

Gosh, I sure hope that the doctors get to the bottom of your headaches. I'll be praying about it and ask God for an accurate diagnosis as well as full healing. Take care and don't worry about this book. Just read if/when you want to and feel comfortable reading.

I read the first 3 chapters and I'm on pg. 47 so I think I'll probably plan on reading 1-2 chapters a day and that way I can easily finish it by its due date and I won't stress on it. Lol

Take care my friend! :)

[Emma]

Aww thanks that's so sweet, I am fine just uncomfortable. 1-2 chapters a day sounds good :). Thanks you :)

[Vicki]

Of course! :o) No problem at all.

[Emma]

Have you managed to read any more? I've not yet. Will try to get a few chapters read tomorrow hopefully.

[Vicki]

I think I read through ch. 4 or 5. I've been so busy this week! Finals are next week and I know you've been sick so I held off reading every day, but I'm definitely reading at least one more chapter tonight after I babysit while my daughter takes her physiology final. Pray for her!! Lol She's striving for the best grade she can get and needs this class for the RN program and letter grades matter!

[Emma]

I hope she does well. Okay I'll try to catch up soon. Hope all goes well. :)

[Vicki]

Awe, thanks!

[Emma]

End of chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ pretty good, I really like the idea of the science behind it. As a scientist I find it really intriguing. is the guy teaching them the first Psoin? Really looking forward to carrying on (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Yay! Are you feeling better now? I'll get back to this one so we can discuss it a little. I have been reading other books. I stopped at the end of chapter 5. I just thought I'd wait until you felt better but I was going to have to pick it back up soon as it's due back on December 21.

I have to run and take care of some business but I'll post a comment or two in a little bit.

[Emma]

Thanks, I am feeling well enough to read now. still getting bad headaches, hoping they will go soon.

[Vicki]

Gosh, you poor thing! :o(

I'm not a gamer of any kind, so I am not totally relating to this book or at least to that aspect of it, but I still do like it and I like Sammy and Bricket. I think Al is growing on me too. LOL

Base on Ch. 1-5 (5 included)

Jeffie (view spoiler)[seems to be possibly a little snobbish. I'm not sure why she didn't like that Sammy beat Kobe in the game. (hide spoiler)]

I feel so bad (view spoiler)[ for Brickert and Sammy because they are both so homesick. It's not a good thing for kids to be separated from their parents. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I don't know why I haven't posted but I'm done with Ch. 15

Sammy (view spoiler)[ is so messed up whenever Jeffie is around. Lol 14 year old hormones! Lol It's cute though. His anomaly nine is, I assume, the same as a gift? He's really good fighting! I was surprised that Al wanted Sammy to teach him! I couldn't believe how he battled and killed four of the b (hide spoiler)]

Brickert (view spoiler)[ I just love him! He's a good friend and he's fun! (hide spoiler)]

I really feel bad that (view spoiler)[ Sammy's mom was an addict and that she was murdered! Or was that just in his dream! Lol (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished Ch. 16 and I'm so glad that (view spoiler)[they threw a party for Sammy. Two years without? I wonder why Jeffie didn't get him a gift and took off. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I finished last night but was too busy to post.

I was glad to see (view spoiler)[his crush kiss him and hold the promise out of more after he returned, BUT they're only 14! I'd rather they were 16. Lol (hide spoiler)]

I couldn't believe that the traitor was (view spoiler)[ the Commander! (hide spoiler)]

The (view spoiler)[fight with the Thirteens was intense! I was upset that no one really looked for Sammy, especially Al!! (hide spoiler)]

The ending was (view spoiler)[ a real cliffhanger!! OMG! I know he'll get out, but there are a lot of loose ends to tie! (hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

did you enjoy it? I will post after new year, going away on tuesday and won't be back until 3rd or 4th.

[Vicki]

I did enjoy it, but I gave it a 3 because I am not a gamer and I read it in such chunks/pieces here and there. I almost gave it a 4 but wasn't sure. LOL I do want to read the next book because the ending was a cliffhanger.

Enjoy your time away! :o)

[Emma]

I will, I try my best to have it read by the time I come back :)

[Vicki]

No worries, Emma. Really! :)

[Emma]

After initially enjoying it lots I enjoyed getting annoyed and not really liking it at all. I did not finish it sorry.
