I loved this book, and I wonder what other adult readers thought about it?

I'm reading this right now and am forcing myself to finish. I think I would like it better on audio actually. Having a hard time caring about either twin.
There are definitely things that I like about this title, but I'm also still reading it and kind of bogged down at the halfway point.
This was by far my favorite YA novel this year; it captured the emotional intensity of teenage life as well as the creative nature of artists. (Also, it's got a plot.) Stick with it!
I am! Just hope that it has a good ending that will make it all worth it. :)
I was gonna maybe read this until the 19th time I heard it compared to The Fault in Our Stars.
...and actually, now that a very valued GR friend whose taste I trust read Sun and loved it, I probably will read it at some point.
I could not get into it...will try again if it gets a Printz nod.
I stuck with it, and it got much more gripping past the halfway point. I ended up loving it, so it was definitely worth the slow beginning to me.
I didn't find it comparable at all to fault in the stars. The prose were so poignant and I felt as if the book kind of took over my mind. There were plenty of twists and I even wondered at one point if the twins were actually the same person because of how interconnected they were. I loved it.
