I thought it was overrated. People are going to start throwing things at me with all my comments about books I disliked!

I'm finding it a bit difficult to read, I picked up a hard cover of it along with a hard cover Will Grayson, Will Grayson reasonably cheaply otherwise it's not something I'd normally pick up. But I'm going to try and see it through.
Heidi wrote: "Good luck Rachael!"Thanks Heidi I think I finally figured out what was frustrating me. I would have preferred it from Lena's point of view I think.
Just finished
. I liked it once I got used to the writing style.Now I can't decide if I should read
or
or
next. (I'm the type that can only read 1 book at a time). Does one of these 3 fit the Dystopian genre better then the other 2?

Still reading
. Got distracted when I started reading
even though I have no intentions of really running an agriculture business. Started listening to
and am very very very sad the narrator seems to have changed. But like the book.

Racheal! That was my problem too. It was two chicks trying to write for one male protaganist and doing a really bad job (I mean he was acting like a pre-teen girl!). Perhaps if they would have wrote it in Lena's POV it would have been better for me.

I think because I had no expectations for it, I LOVED it! :)

I completely agree with you there! I thought the first half was incredible and the second half let it down. It was still a good read but surprised at just how many people have adored it.
I just finished
and loved it as much as the first one!
I have finally started
and am trying to take my time and savor it since John Green is my favorite author.

Good to know it was not just me Jim! I can be picky sometimes but for me that just means when I love something it is all the more special.

I have read Delirium and really liked Lauren Oliver's writing style, therefore, reading her first novel Before I Fall :)

was a great read!
Tamara wrote: Are you loving them? they're my fave series from back in..."Yes! I read the first one over and over again as a child. It was my favorite book. However I didn't know that it was a series (I'm not sure if they weren't out yet or if my library just didn't have them) and so picked up the last three and have been reading them.
I probably liked them so much as a kid because Cimorene is such an awesome non-stereotypcial intelligent princess!

Same here, I enjoyed the book but I didn't find it amazing.
It's good to know I'm not the only one, I felt a bit alone!

I read this series (Dealing With Dragons) when I was younger and absolutely loved them! Yay for good books and good memories :)
I'm sooo excited, I just got
today and I've already started it in my lunch break. It's awesome and full of Thor, John Matthew, desperation, sorrows and heartache... I think I'm going to cry in this book for Thor and Wellsie.

I, Robot - Isaac AsimovRecently finished Shade's Children by Garth Nix (More Sci-Fi than Fantasy, but still a good read) and Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare (absolutely adore this series!)
Michelle wrote: "Just finished

I've started reading The Other Slipper by Kenechi Udogu and, so far, I'm finding it a very delightful little fairytale!
Wendy F wrote: "WHAT!!! How the heck did you already get it?!??"I honestly don't know why and I was really confusied when the postman brought me my book today... but of course I didn't said no and just took it and was totally suprised and happy to already have received it. Maybe the make a mistake by the delivery, don't know.

I really liked Ruby Red I didn't want to put the book down. It is getting more interesting as it goes. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
