Same feelings here Stacia. Take out about 50-100 pages of excessive descriptive language and you'd have an entertaining read. The end got really interesting and I'm hoping book 2 doesn't lag. The writing was just overdone and it made the story slow down in certain areas. I get that the author was trying to build the world and establish relationships, but it wasn't done smoothly. I'm wordy, but Kate makes me feel better about my own writing.
i was impressed that after hitting so many stops in the plot, it started to flow and suck me in. I'm hoping that its a sign that her writing improved throughout the process. I was also surprised by the fact that I was still interested enough to read despite the stalls in the plot. (Although, it took me a few days to push through.) I wanted to figure out what was going to happen and what it was all building up to.

I know I am in the minority. For me the cover was much better than the book. I don't plan on reading the next one. I ended up forcing myself to read this one and was very confused and bored while reading.

I agree. I just didn't identify or fall in love with any of the characters. I actually liked Cam best...

I really liked the book though, probably 3.5 stars. Normally I would have got bored with the lack of action, but I was sucked in, trying to figure out what was going on. The ending made me really want to read the next one, but not in the same way I need to read the next Hunger Games or Mortal Instruments books.


I agree with you... I loved this book. It did take a little while starting off but for some reason I was hooked since the first chapter. I think it is cool how she has had all of these past lives... I hope they go more into those stories in the next book. I can't wait for Torment. :)

I had a hard time getting interested at first too so I understand. The end made me want to read book 2 against my better judgment. I'm hoping it's just first book syndrome.



lol yeah i dont want to buy it because I've heard its not the greatest first in a series but I do want to read it so i got it from the library . gotta read it before due date lol I may start now im still up doing nothing and its 3 am.
I normally stay up until late reading, but I'm still up early. It didn't happen today. I just woke up at 1pm. That's nor normal. I guess I was really tired.

lol i woke up 10 mins till one myself. for some reason lately i have been really sleepy haha.
I think it's because I set 2 alarms and I was waiting for the second one to go off. Seems I set the 2nd one to only go off on Sat, Sun, and Fri. Opps.

If you've finished - and already posted that you're finished - check the first post and make sure I've added your name. I want to make sure everyone got their points.



It's an ABC Family thing, there are 2 disks. It's based on The Fallen, not Fallen. I made the mistake when I first saw it. I saw that Walmart had a republished copy of it after the show came on.


About Fallen, the more I read threads on goodreads, the more I realize I don't remember a whole lot from this book. Not many of the characters were all that memorable, IMO.

Jess? The 4th? Are you talking about Fallen or The Fallen? Book 2 comes out next month so I'm confused.


I liked Luce and Daniel's characters but the story seemed to drag on and on.
I guess I'd give it 2 stars and I might read the next one out of pure curiousity, it seems like now that we kind of know what's going it it might make the next one better
Disney has optioned Fallen for a movie. Don't know if it'll go through, but they have the rights to produce it if they want.
It was delayed for some reason and it's not going to be here until Thurs or Friday. I wonder why.
