From A Distant Star By Karen McQuestion - Restarting September 27th 2015

[Abi]

Seventeen-year-old Emma was the only one who hadn’t given up on her boyfriend, Lucas. Everyone else—his family, his friends, his doctors—was convinced that any moment could be his last. So when Lucas miraculously returns from the brink of death, Emma thinks her prayers have been answered.

As the surprised town rejoices, Emma begins to question whether Lucas is the same boy she’s always known. When she finds an unidentifiable object on his family’s farm—and government agents come to claim it—she begins to suspect that nothing is what it seems. Emma’s out-of-this-world discovery may be the key to setting things right, but only if she and Lucas can evade the agents who are after what they have. With all her hopes and dreams on the line, Emma sets out to save the boy she loves. And with a little help from a distant star, she might just have a chance at making those dreams come true.

This book is available on Netgalley as "Read now" Everyone welcome to join. :)

[Aneesa]

Hey guys, what did you think of the book overall? would you recommend this to anyone? I finally finished the book, but I took so long!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It seemed to take forever. maybe it was just because i wasn't in love with the story, but it really dragged!

[Aneesa]

I can see what you mean. Who was you fav character, Sarah?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I felt quite sorry for (view spoiler)[ Emma when Lucas' mother was treating her like dirt, but I can't say I really liked any of the characters that much. what did you think? (hide spoiler)]

[Aneesa]

I actually did not like either of those characters, and your right. I felt so sorry for her but at the same time annoyed with her. I prefer the alien lol

btw, how do you mention if it is a spoiler and hide it?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

you write <.spoiler.> without the dots and it pops it in a spoiler tag for you (view spoiler)[ hello! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The characters were annoying. I think the best one was the dog!

[Aneesa]

@sarah, lol. I did love his part in the book. I didn't realised it was him until the end of the book

[Rachmi]

Hi Noella, have you started this book yet? I think we're behind our schedule :D

[Noella]

Hey Rachmi, I'm really behind :'( I'll try start this tonight if I get round to finishing my other two reads !

[Rachmi]

Me too! So don't you worry :D I also have another BR but since I cannot read more than one book at a time, I'll do this one first. I'm in the office now, though so I might not read much :)

[Noella]

Home/reading time for me is in one hour :P

[Rachmi]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[That opening line sounds like in Superman film, when Kal-El arrives on Earth :D And it's kinda unusual reading a story from a dog POV. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[So an alien is in Logan's body but it doesn't mean that his body grows strength instantly or whatsoever, right? I assumed he's in bed quite long, he couldn't possibly suddenly standing up and walking around, imo. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter three - (view spoiler)[Magic potions? She seriously believes that will wake him from his coma and cure his cancer? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I thought that was weird too! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I don't know why it started like that either - weird! (hide spoiler)]

chapter four - (view spoiler)[How the heck do the separate a consciousness from a being? And for aliens that have the power and knowhow to travel between planets they sure don't seem very smart. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Sarah wrote: "Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[It is! And I type wrong, I mean unusual, not usual :D I've edited though. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Rachel wrote: "chapter three - [spoilers removed]"

ikr? (view spoiler)[I thought this will be all sci-fi story, but with that magic potions it also could be a paranormal. It doesn't blend well, imo. But we're still in the earlier chapters, so who knows what will happen next. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Rachel wrote: "Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]

chapter four - [spoilers removed]"

Hahaha, I so agree with you, Rachel!

[Rachmi]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)["Do you really have to draw blood?".

Hmm...what? did you seriously just ask that question?
And yes, doctor's word (order) is equivalent with law, especially for serious illness such as cancer. Well...it is for me, at least. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter five - (view spoiler)[Well, Lucas' mother is a despicable human being! (hide spoiler)]

chapter six - (view spoiler)[How could you say things like out loud? Let alone in front of A) the person dying, B) his little brother and C) anyone really! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 9 "Do you really have to draw blood?".

"

(view spoiler)[ that was ridiculous. of course they'd want to draw blood! can't have him saying he's okay and then dropping down dead! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Sarah wrote: "Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 9 "Do you really have to draw blood?".

"

[spoilers removed]"

The characters are pissed me off. I cannot believe they can act and say stupid things in just 9 chapters! And (still in chapter 9) (view spoiler)[Emma saying the barns are off-limits is basically told them to search in it! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

I agree that the characters are pretty stupid - and that nurse! She's so unprofessional.

(view spoiler)[I just don't understand why Lucas wasn't in hospital when these people obviously know nothing about taking care of sick people. (hide spoiler)]
