Gone

Have you read Gone? Discuss it here.

I have read Gone and would not recommend it to anyone. It changed tone, the characters' personalities were different, the whole story was underwhelming. But, most importantly, I felt Janie and Cabel ended up in a worse place than at the end of Fade. Looking back, I should have stopped at Fade.

I've read Gone, and I was HIGHLY disappointed. I'd built up all this momentum of curiosity and sorrow, but all I was left with was half-covered holes and sorrow. I don't know what I was expecting, but this book didn't hold my attention.

[NBB]

I completely agree with you, Tatiana.

I thought it was kind of like a self-help/fighting addiction story and didn't care for it. There was hardly any suspense in it, only tragedy and self-pity.

This book was HORRENDOUSLY weak. It's by far my least favorite book by McMann.

[Heather]

Gah, I'm still pissed at McMann over the Gone fiasco. Absolutely terrible. And thanks to the borefest that was "Cryer's Cross" I doubt I'll be reading any more of her books.

I thought Cryer's Cross was unique, but it just...she really could have done better with it. There was no suspense except at the very beginning and in the last 30-some pages. Even then, it was predictable. I JUST LOVE HER COVERS TOO MUCH.

Gosh, I am halfway through the book and can't bring myself to turn another page. I am so disappointed because the first two books were good. There is no suspense in Gone and it's sort of depressing, I put this book down a year ago for the same reason and I still can't read it.
