Catherine Bruno | 771 comments @Karen and Donna. I thought Passenger was pretty good, I was going to give it 4 stars, but that ending was amazing so I gave it 5 instead.

So glad to hear that you can tell she had a big hand in it. All the non-spoiler reviews I've read said that it's obvious it was written by someone else (the reviews weren't rated so high), so I was really skeptical about reading it.....I didn't want it to spoil my love of HP. Now I have to wait (400+ on the library wait list)!

Barb (bubasbookshelf) I bought Where She Went (If I Stay, #2) by Gayle Forman a few days ago.

I've seen those reviews, and I disagree completely. I mean, obviously, its a screenplay, so she had help in writing it. The style is completely different, not as detailed, etc. Its a screenplay, not a book! You have to use your imagination and picture it on stage! But everything felt so authentic, and the twists are classic JK Rowling. The characters also felt very authentic. And I was sucked right into the story, just like any other HP book! Again, its different, and I didn't like it quite as much, but I still loved it! Great plot twists and characters, and it was just like being back at Hogwarts!

That is good to know. It has been on my to read list for a while. When I saw the paperback on an end cap, I grabbed it. Even though I knew I could get it at the library, LOL.

I loved Feed!! I didn't like the 2nd book as much. I haven't read the 3rd book.


message 7789: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (paper_addict) Sometimes I think they need to stick with two books. Somehow just eliminate the second book, LOL. If the second book isn't as good then there is nothing to make you want to read the third.
