I just finished it. It was awesome! Really, really enjoyed it.
I just read Birthmarked and am now reading the sequel Prized, but I'm really looking forward to the release of Insurgent!!!

The concept was great, the writing and character development really sucked.

I heard great things about the second. That's why I finally decided to start the series.

I hope you like the 2nd one,
. After WITHER was so good, I couldn't believe how bad FEVER was!
I'm trying to get through a Star Wars book, which is turning out to be hard to get through. The next thing on my Ipad, waiting to be read, is The Hunger Games, which I can't wait to read. Might actually start it now...

Its SOOO good! :) I don't know anyone who was disappointed yet. but one thing I would suggest is not to even look at the trailers for the movie or anything to do with movie -if possible-
I just started Battle Royale I've been told this is 575 pages of violence and gore in A Japanese style of The Hunger Games. Can't wait to get started! I hear its A great read,though,I wonder if I'll be able to keep up with all the Japanese names lol.I also have my eye on Life as We Knew It which is sitting on my table waiting to be read but I haven't gotten around to starting it yet. SOON!
Recently finished:
- Amazing as always. Much too short, I want like five more of these books.
- I read an ARC of this one. So good; want more.
- Not bad. I wasn't 100% in love with Delirium, so I wasn't expecting too much. Left off with a huge cliffhanger though.Now I'm re-reading
just in time for the movie!

It wasn't as good as I was hoping, but it was still good.
I just finished
, which isn't my typical type of book, but I really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge cat fan, but the cats were hilarious. I would definitely recommend this one to cat lovers, and maybe even some cat dislikers.

Im about half way throough i think, i really can not wait to finish it. I'm reading it with someone as a buddy read. I'm itching to carry on reading, I cant wait to finish. I'm sure ill love Pandemonium too.

I thought Pandemonium was actually better. Some people hated it, tho :(
I read
and really liked it a lot, enough to write a review (see link). It's a post apocalyptic zombie book. Reminded me of an updated I am Legend
I'm juggling a few right now. Already mentioned The Iron Knight. I'm also reading
on my phone and working through two net galley books-

Yes, it was a lot of fun.
I read about 5 chapters of
last night before stopping. I have never given up so easily before, but I was just not in the mood to try and tolerate a book I am not enjoying, just to hate it in the end anyway and waste 2 days. Every time I try to power through something I am unsure of, I always regret it. If I dont like the book after few chapters, I am just not going to like it. This book was really weird, and dark, and disturbing. Be warned. I might try again if several people tell me its worth it, but atm I doubt it.

I'd go with that, too, since it's the only one I haven't read. Read the other 2 and neither was very good!

Exceptional was good. Article 5 was okay. I haven't read Fever yet, but I doubt that I will based on the response that it's gotten.
I am only 35 pages in, but so far it is a very well built dystopian world. Very impressed in that respect.

Kinda felt the same about this one. Pretty much weird all the way around. Am still debating over 3 or 4 stars.
