It's sad, but it's also brilliant. There were parts I was laughing out loud and parts I was angry too. It's the most amazing book.

I think Jen just read it too. Or maybe she just got it. You both have so any books you make my head spin. ;-)

David was torn and wasn't sure if he liked it or not. He couldn't decide on a 2 or a 4 so he rated it 3.

Yes!! Buddy read for sure. I'm ready when you are!

I love this series - I found 2 of them in paperback recently. It was the first dystopian I read after The Hunger Games - got me hooked! There is actually a fourth book in the series coming out later this year. It follows one of the characters from the first book.

Lol that's right. I was very mixed on it. I felt like crying for the last third if the book so I gave the author lots of credit for that. But I did want A LOT more from the book, in terms of events and world building. But maybe the sequels do more of that. Either way, I did enjoy it and I finished it in like two days :) Have fun!!

Jen, not sure if you can convince me to read the sequels? Right now I am leaning toward no but if you like them...I might have to give them a chance!

the following two books are awesome, though the second one is told from a different prospective and the third book is from her prospective again.
