It's not that I didn't like Shatter Me. It was a very strange reading experience for me. I was completely and utterly enthralled with the first half of the book. I literally walked around reading it and bumping into things. I couldn't put it down. I loved the uniqueness and beauty of the writing style. I was just really disappointed in the direction the book went and the glaring plot holes. (view spoiler) But I think Mafi is exceptionally talented and I'll probably continue with the series eventually :)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
@David--I completely LOVED the first half of Shatter Me, and I agree that it was better than the second half. The ending didn't bother me, but I felt it wasn't as strong as the first part of the book. In Unravel Me, the second half of the book was actually better for me. I do love this series, but I'm not as serious a fan as other are! I really love Juliette. She totally makes the series for me!

Finished with The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine, #1) by James Dashner and I enjoyed it. Others have told me it disappointed them, but I really had no expectations going in, and I vaguely knew what it was about. It reminded me a little of Ready Player One, but not nearly as good. 4 star read, enjoyable but not groundbreaking or anything.

I loved the Coldest Girl in Coldtown!! Really good vampire story! Enjoy!


message 5515: by Red (new)

Red (littleredreader) I really like it so far, and I love how vicious they make the vampires. I'm definitely over romanticizing vampires.

I started this one but stopped because I wasn't getting into it. I love Dashner and The Maze Runner and I think I was hoping it would be close to those but it's not. Maybe I will try it again later.

Its nothing compared to the Maze Runner, but it was a pretty quick read and I was entertained. It wasn't gripping like the Maze Runner, though.

Right now reading Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys and LOVING it!! I've had this on my TBR list forever, finally getting to it! So good! Has anyone read Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys ? Its the same author. I haven't read it, I may have to now!


message 5527: by w :) (new)

w :) Yes!!! I love that book and IMO it's better than Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys but that depends on what you like... You should definitely try Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys :)


message 5528: by w :) (new)

w :) I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo and it's driving me crazy.

LOL Good to know, I will be reading it next year then (Between Shades of Gray, not Monte Cristo LOL)

I could not get Pulseit to work for me today. GRRR I always seem to have issues with it logging me in. Occasionally, it works, but not often! So annoying, I want to read the free books!

I always forget to check out what Pulseit offers, so I'm glad they have this one because I've been wanting to read it for awhile!

You're welcome! I wasn't sure if you just missed him, or there was some other reason, so just checking! :)

Lots of books for our group to read this month! FYI, you are not required to read the books of the month to participate in this group. Read the ones you are interested in. I've had people ask me this before so just making it clear :) But I have read all the BOTMs, and I recommend them all!
