Lots of mixed reviews on FALLEN, but I really liked it!


Lots of mixed reviews on FALLEN, but I really liked it!"
I'm 300 pages in now and enjyoing it a lot :)



The Iron King is definitely not what I expected, but in a really good way. I'm already falling in love with this book.






This is probably the worst book I've read, meaning finished, in the last 2 or 3 years. A TOTAL train wreck!!


Actually, there's no way I can't read it. I'm sure it'll be the same case when I finish #4 and when I finish #5... I will be depressed as there will be no more to read until the next novel is released. [assuming #5 isn't the last:]


That series is such a disaster. I would hate a book and then like the next one okay, then hate the next one, and so on. If this one's not good, I'm not going to waste my money on it.


I read the series when it first came out and I was a young teen. LOVED IT! Swore I was going to find myself a man just like Damon and live happily ever after.
I tried to re-read the series a year ago and thought it was, umm, not that great and kind of boring. But the same thing happened when I tried to re-read the Twilight books.
Oh well. They were good the first time around. :)


I agree about the Twilight books. I wanted to re-read each one before it's movie came out, but I couldn't get through them. I had to listen to them on audiobook to make it through.


I have no idea how Thurman did it, but I love the characters in this series. To the point where I care for them, feel for them. It's absurd. There are flaws in these books, but the way I feel for the characters surpasses that beyond any reason.
I just finished up the fourth book, Deathwish and I loved it as well. There were a lot of things repeated [stuff the characters were thinking:] in this one so it made for a bit of a repetitive read, but again my love for the characters blinded me to that - well, I noticed it so it didn't blind me, but it sure as heck made me not care about it.
I'd start on the fifth novel, but I need a break from the emotional roller coaster this series is able to throw me on.
Now, I'll work on my Dystopian novel - We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. If I can't get into it I'll start in on Atlus Shrugged or Wheel of Time #1 since they are beefy and shouldn't be put off till the end of the challenge.

I am hoping it is as good as I hope.









I am really liking

I haven't read a Mercy book yet that I haven't loved. It's probably my favorite series right now. :)



Darcy,
Just to warn you, I thought [book:Devour|2066914] was terrible! I couldn't even finish it, and it takes a lot for me not to finish a book. Good luck with it!

Good to know. I will go in with low expectations then and hopefully I will like it then.








Finished up Unperfect Souls by Mark Del Franco, it's the fourth in the Connor Grey series. I enjoy this series, but wish it would get away from the politics for a book or so.
Now I'm starting up Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, book one in the Wheel of Time series. Third book for the reading challenge. @_@


Oh if you read Nightside, let us know what you think. I have that in my tbr pile

I've actually already read some of the Nightside series, Hex And The City (#4) being the last one I read. I just love them, John Taylor is an awesome character. So far I like anything I've read by Simon R. Green; ever since reading Blue Moon Rising I've been hooked. I really like that there are some genuinely creepy moments in the Nightside books, along with humor. They are just fun books to get into.

Thanks I will move that up in my tbr pile. :)



Ooh...I got Soulless too! Will be reading that soon.... Oh too many books.




now reading
