I'll join! I need some motivation to finish the book before the movie comes out :P

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

woohoo!! welcome Abigail!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay finally started

I'm thru Part I

Serena(view spoiler)[ yikes, ever get the feeling she's....she's like a rattlesnake or....
jeez, she just feels unstable, doesn't she?
I think she killed her family (hide spoiler)]

Pemberton(view spoiler)[ he's smitten...but he seems to kind of miss Rachel. miss how easy going and simple it was with her.
but he's not the kind of man who would be happy with a girl like rachel
still, what he did - taking her to bed and then just leaving
jerk (hide spoiler)]

railroad(view spoiler)[ I wonder how this will all pan out.
I love that the park / national park people are bugging them. lol this is right around when the nation park system was getting started! (hide spoiler)]

it's really good so far! I like that I've seen the movie trailer a few times - the actors seem well matched up so I like picturing them.

[Tayla]

I am actually not as behind as usual. Gonna read red queen and then this

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!!! I'll look for your posts as soon as you get here :D congrats on catching up! that's always nice
I'm behind again but marathon reading this week lol

Through Part II

this book is CRAZY
I can't wait to see the movie!

Pemberton (view spoiler)[ I can NOT believe he killed his partner
and that he and Serena talked beforehand
they are just...crazy (hide spoiler)]

Harris(view spoiler)[ I think he was tricked into wanting that land so bad, don't you?
I think the rocks may have been planted to make him believe something was there to mine that wasn't (hide spoiler)]

railroad(view spoiler)[ omg the death rate at this one spot is crazy I can't believe how many people have been killed or maimed (hide spoiler)]

Rachel(view spoiler)[ Joel seems really sweet and ready to take care of her and Jacob
I wonder why she's avoiding it. she has to know Pemberton isn't going to come back to her (hide spoiler)]

Serena(view spoiler)[ she's like a sociopath. she is just crazy
her losing the baby. this can't turn out well (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Part III

OMG(view spoiler)[ My heart was RACING when Rachel was fighting for her life in the railroad car!!! OMG! He almost got her. Thank goodness for that sock of marbles (hide spoiler)]

Pemberton(view spoiler)[ he seems cared of Serena now. or maybe realizing she's bigger and more crazy than he knew (hide spoiler)]

Serena(view spoiler)[ what on earth is she thinking?? Pemberton is trying to go around and pay off everyone and she's just killing and killing and tromping through it !!! UGH. she's terrifying! (hide spoiler)]

workers(view spoiler)[ I love their parts of the chapter, where they give more details to the Pembertons, Galloway and those that are missing and/or dead. Snipes is funny but also knows quite a lot (hide spoiler)]

this is so good!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and i"m done

holy MOLY that was so good!!

(view spoiler)[ I can't believe Serena had him killed
just for giving her money...and on the day after his birthday no less
and what a crappy way to die she left for him. good lord (hide spoiler)]

I do love(view spoiler)[ that the boy got her in the end
Serena was CRAZY! (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to see what you thinK!

[Tayla]

[[deleted user]]

Gah, I never got notifications on this one, so I thought it was abandoned! At any rate, I'm starting tonight as well.

[Tayla]

woohoo haha im not really behind then! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!! I can't WAIT to see your comments
this one was good but...very interesting :D

[Tayla]

Starting now. This isn't my typical type of book but since I know I'll watch the movie anyways, why not,

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know. It's not my typical either
But it surprised me with how much I liked it!

Pembert..."

Serena (view spoiler)[ Wow that's a big guess. Maybe. That whole eagle thing was insane (hide spoiler)]

Idk how I feel about this book yet. It's not really grabbing my attention

aww, I hope you start liking it more soon

Serena(view spoiler)[ I know but didn't she have a weird reaction to him asking?
like "that's the past, we don't talk about it" kind of thing (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

40% killing his business partner? Obviously Serena and him are perfect for each other

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG right?!?!?! HOW CRAZY ARE THESE PEOPLE!!??

[Tayla]

Part 2

Harris (view spoiler)[ oh wow I didn't even think of that!!! Totally (hide spoiler)]

Railroad (view spoiler)[ I know right? I don't know why anyone would want this job! (hide spoiler)]

Rachel (view spoiler)[ I feel like pemberton secretly wants to see his kid but Serena like isn't letting him? Idk it's strange. She keeps like putting Jacob down and doing things. I'm waiting for something to happen while she isn't looking (hide spoiler)]

Serena (view spoiler)[ ikr not only losing the baby but never able to have one again (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

I love how Serena can just leave the hospital whenever she wants lol. It's not like that now

[Tayla]

58% (view spoiler)[ PEPPERMINTS OMG (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

59 (view spoiler)[ Galloway is creeping me out (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

68 (view spoiler)[ :( I liked her (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

71% (view spoiler)[ "I think it's because I could give him the one thing she couldn't" totally (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

Part 3

(view spoiler)[ I know right?! I'm glad rachel is tough and can take care of herself fighting wise.

I think he always loved her but is noticing that she's insane. But the fire made him realize that his love for her will overpower anything else

She really is insane. Who could want to kill a baby!!

Yeah I like snipes a lot. He is so smart.

I'm sad about Vaughn. I hope he isn't dead (hide spoiler)]

ohhhh wait... His son killed him?! I didnt understand that part

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

YES!! (view spoiler)[ His son killed her!!
I think he waited for Rachel to have passed....

he'd waited and waited and finally got her! (hide spoiler)]

and yeah, I saw your 2 stars. I don't blame you
crazy read right??? So freaking twisted.
Now I wonder what the movie will be like!! I had no idea the book was this weird! Did you?? lol

[Tayla]

Yeah that was the weirdest book ever lol
