I gave it 3.5 stars. I liked the story, but I don't think it was on par with books like The Hunger Games and Divergent. I also found the characters a bit hard to believe, being as they were supposed to be so young. This, however, won't stop me from reading the next one when it comes out! LOL! I do recommend it, but I don't think anyone should go into it thinking it is another dystopian like The Hunger Games or Divergent, or even Delirium.
Just started both
and
and both are great even though I'm only maybe 50 pages into each one! I've had Neverwhere sitting on my bookshelf for ages, don't even know where it came from, but I'm glad not to have to be waiting for yet another book from the library!

I rated it on par with DELIRIUM which I also gave 5 stars, but not good as THE HUNGER GAMES which is in a class by itself! I didn't like DIVERGENT and am still deciding if I'll read the second in that series.

See, didn't love Delirium as much as Divergent I think I just preferred the characters in that one and the story line was faster paced and left my heart racing.

Today I've finished

I've just finished reading the second book in the Bartimaeus Trilogy, The Golem's Eye, and now I'm reading Reckless by Cornelia Funke.
I just finished
last night and I have very mixed feelings about it. It was actually an amazing book. But (view spoiler) I don't know what the third book is gonna look like, but I'm looking forward to it a lot.
And now for something completely different.Finished
and
and beginning to plug away at
The Song of Achilles.Achilles started out strong but is loosing me at the moment. I'm hoping the setting the setting will stop and we'll get on with it.
Five hours ago, I commented that I had started to read Cornelia Funke's Reckless. Well, I'm finished it already and am now going to read Branded by Keary Taylor.
Started
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré and
Sherlock: A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

Under the Never Sky was slow to start for me, but I am really glad I stuck with it. It was awesome!
Right now I'm reading several books.

I like it so far. I'm only on page 32 tho.
I started Soulless, based on some reviews on here (i believe). its a little corny so far- help me out! have you all read it and should I push through? Soulless
I loved Soulless, but I thought it was absolutely hilarious. It may not be your type of humor. The storyline is actually quite good and the steampunk element is pretty creative, imo. I vote you push through. If you get to the end and still don't like it, I'd recommend you don't continue the series. I have some serious love for Alexia and Maccon though.
I'm almost finished with
, after that I might move on to
,, but I'm not sure since I have a few mythology based books waiting to be read and I'd like to read them continuously and doubt I'll be able to right now.

I really liked this book! It has been awhile since I finished it but was definitely creeped out reading it late at night too.
