Who else is tired of this series?

[[deleted user]]

As much as I love my bad boy Patchy, the series has become a bore to me. Sure, I'll read the next book but I'm getting bored with this book series more and more. To me there's just not a whole lot of excitement.
What do you think?

[Emma]

I'm not tired of the series, I still love them. The only thing that annoyed me was that Silence was meant to be the last book but they left you hanging at the end. So there will be another book. It is very frustrating when that happens.

[vampz]

i'm not.

[Nichole]

I love patch, and I loved the first book very much, but I'm having a hard time working through the rest of the series.

[Kay]

I'm not.>__>"
i still very much love it.C:

I find the book very annoying, Nora always playing the dumb part then coming close to death but patch saving her. Nora befriending the wrong people...Ugh, And the dissapointing thing is the first one was good.i agree with you Ally:-) I'll read to see what happens then i'll put down the book and probably never touch it again:/

[Katy]

Oh I love it! I loved the ending of silence!

i could not agree more that is what i thought that silence was supposed to be the last book then she comes and throws another one into the mix

I actually had a hard enough time with Nora's stupidity in Crescendo so by the time I got started Silence I was expecting the worst.

Lets just say I wasn't pleasantly surprised and I don't think I'll be able to sit myself down with the fourth one comes out.

I could never be tired of this series! NEVER

I agree!

Some series are just too YA for me and Hush Hush is one of them. Besides that I find Nora too insipid and stupid. Gosh, she is even more obnoxious than Bella.

[Lynzie]

i love this serries ya maybe it gets boring then u get the action again its not a mind trick at all listen to youurselfs do u even no wat your saying????

[Erin]

One of the best series I have ever read! I have read the books over a couple of times.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but it's so...so...mediocre. I'll admit, I LOVED the series when it came out. Now, after re-reading it, I'm just like, "Meh". It's a meh book. There isn't enough action to make up for it either.

And you don't want me to get started on Nora.

I want a story that has a girl who can take care of herself.

Those are the best.

[Erin]

No you didnt offend me! People have opioions and I respect them!

Nora annoyed me a bit in Crescendo but not that much

I still enjoy seeing the model who plays Patch ^_^

[Erin]

Wait who is that?

Drew Doyon. (I think) He's HOTT with a capital H and 2 T's :)

[Erin]

Really?? I did not like him for Patch!

I agree...Patch is the only reason I keep reading

[SweetDeeReads]

I still enjoy the series very much. I wish Silence had more Patch and Nora interaction. But with that said, I am kind of tired of people calling YA girls stupid and dumb. Hello, they are teenagers, they make mistakes, that's what teenagers do, including Nora. But the boy love interest always gets praised because they are "hot". There was an article on YA Highway that talks about this very thing, check it out: http://www.yahighway.com/2012/03/cele...

To be fair there is a drastic difference between the way these two archteypes are usually characterised in these novels.

Authors are careful to make the main character (from whose perspective the reader must experience the story) as simple as they can so anyone can reasonably relate to her. Ever notice how they aren't usually opinionated? (or if they are we still don't know their opinions, just that they describe themself as opinionated) It's hard to get someone to like the person that listens to their least favourite music in a day and age where people often decide their friends based on their interests.

Moreover it's difficult to make your story move forward organically. Authors can't always find a way to really properly explain WHY a specific situation had to happen so suddenly the only tool at their disposal is their main character because it's the only person that can tell you what they're thinking.

So when the story bogs down the heroine has to do something stupid (usually) to get it going again. They can't use the love interest because we're not in his head and anything he does without the heroine understanding can be misconstrued as violent or abusive (ohoh wait, that's totally Patch too.) So the love interests get to remain this perfect adonis-like specimin that fully embodies the author's fantasy and lacking in any genuine flaws (aside from a penchant for manipulation)

It's not a phemonenon of the way the readers are judging the characters, but a phenomenon of the traditional character paradigm in YA litterature today. Characters are no longer people, they are victims of litterary manipulation.

I will Never be tired of it! Not possible!

I love the series. I will never get over how sexy, dangerous, mysterious and hot patch is, and how he treats nora with so much respect. that's how I think every girl should be treated. too many men are ruling and women need to be reconised just as much. sadly, that isn't whats happening.

[Mimi-loves-her-books!]

I know "Silence" was slow, but once you read "Finale"you will fall in love with series all over again. It was the best book out of the entire series.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

I loved them all

[Tosh]

I'm already tired of the series even though I just read only silence I couldn't finish it, I hate it its was so bored did any one else notice it copy the fallen series? Nora-Luce a human who is love with a angel, the angel are trying to lie to them saying they never met and blah blah, they get friends and find out those friends are bad guys, Patch-Daniel a fallen angel who fell in love with the human girl and does whatever it take to protect her, people out there to kill her, if you pick up the fallen series its sounds completely the same just a few differences that's why I couldn't finish Silence I felt like I already read the series when I read Fallen.But I do feel like Fallen was better then Hush hush because they add way more action and depth into the story unlike what happen in hush hush, it was so typical you can clearly see what was coming in the story that how boring it got. And Nora was like a moron in the book I read I couldn't stand it!

[Glenda]

I love me some patch!!! Bring on more books!

[Kiriana]
