Anyone finding it hard to get through?

I actually watched the movie first. I was very confused, but it made reading the first book a lot easier. The second and the third book in the series were a must for me to read.

which book would you say was the best of the three ?




Maybe it's just not for you. It's okay to quit reading a book. Just because everyone seems to love it doesn't mean that you will. It's more worth your time and effort to read something you'll love.


Um, read them?




I promised myself i would read two chapters a day. I kept myself to that goal and by the third day I couldn't put it down. It's such an amazing read!




I did push through and finished the book then threw it away. There is way too much gratuitous violence and sex. It may sell books but it does not make for good reading. I would say don't waste your time.



Read the first one but couldn't get through the second. Just couldn't take anymore of the perverted violence.








I have no idea why people go bonkers for this book.




well the hype is about the series not on the first 25 pages...

Although I did push through and finish, I found it not worth the push. This is a great read for a lot of my friends, but I found myself less than fascinated by the supposedly fascinating characters. Sorry. Not much help.

Definitely could NOT get into this book... not happy I bought the e-book ... moving on.. so many other great books to read!

Yea, we drink a lot of coffee in Europe. My American co-workers also noticing that by my coffee consumation at work :0


This book has been so hyped up...I have heard the same thing about having to "get though" the first half of the book. I quit about 60 pages in, because I realized, hey! reading is supposed to be enjoyable. Why read something that you have to "get through?" I did enough of that in college.


Well, I have heard that the second book is exceptional.

yeah I found this book very hard to finish. It took me over three month to read it through. I know others who have finished it in days. I guess it appeals to some but not others. I don't think it deserves all the success it got.
