That is never good.

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Why did it show a different Forsaken when you quoted me? Goodreads how odd.

Yes, not good. You can look at my status updates to see what annoys me so.

Teresa (teresainohio) Going Too Far not far enough in the story to be hooked, but far enough to keep reading to find out what is going on, if that makes any sense

I can't wait to start this one! I'm trudging through Anna Karenina at the moment, so it might be a while before I get to it though... :(

I tried reading the first book, but I just couldn't get into it. I really wanted to like it, but the style bothered me.

So many people mention that. But you have to take into consideration that the main character isn't formally educated...which the style conveys. It didn't bother me. (Unlike when I tried to read a Nicholas Sparks book once. Worst dialogue I've ever read.) Work past it, until you get to the point where Viola joins. I bet you'll like it. It's a really good series.


message 13484: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I have convinced a ton of people to return to Chaos Walking and give it another try because they could not get into it and then they end up loving the series!

Woot!


message 13492: by Bethany (new)

Bethany | 578 comments So, it's good and all, but I have to say I'm still pretty confused. And I'm not sure if I'm just dense and missing things or if I'm not supposed to understand things yet. Like, I'm on the same page as poor Todd. I'm really confused and irritated that there seems to be all these secrets and NO ONE will tell me anything and everyone is acting weird and I just want to understand EVERYTHING!!! I feel you, Todd!

I had also abandoned it once, but decided to give it another try. It is very confusing, I have to agree.

I've not read this yet, but as far as the dialogue goes, if you're into audiobooks, I've heard good things about how this one handles the dialogue and makes it seem smoother and what not.

Yeah it is definitely a series where you get more info in each book. You have to read all three books to get answers but their are a lot of answers in book 2 (as well as more questions!).


message 13496: by Tellulah (new)

Tellulah Darling (tellulahdarling) Read Hollowland (The Hollows, #1) by Amanda Hocking It was a fun plot and I liked the characters but there wasn't a lot of development of the characters. I know its only book 1 but still. I like a bit more change on a book by book basis.
