The writing was jarring at first, but I'm liking the story so far.
Karen wrote: "The annoyance of the writing vanished quickly for me! I'm a strong LOVE! ;-P"As I got to know the character more, it became a non-factor for me as well. By chapter 4 I no longer even noticed it.

Even though I'm only halfway through I would definitely recommend it. I'm not in love with her writing style but the characters are great and the world development is lovely. :)
So, I'm listening to
on audiobook and I'm not impressed. I think I dislike it more than I disliked

Yeah Tommy, I had a time getting used to the use of language but once I did it was really good.

I am on the wait list at the library for this one. I have heard many good things about it.

Really want to read this one!

After just reading the first 5 reviews on here of that Black & Ice I can tell it is not for me! I skipped her other series as well after being warned away (Hush Hush). Some authors are just not for me.

Oda, I've read the first four stories of the Bane Chronicles, and it only gets better from the beginning.

I'm currently reading
which is really good so far! I'm also part way into
which is pretty good, but I'm finding myself more sucked into "Invisible".I just noticed the covers! Both lacking in color, but still nice...

If we warned you, the feels may have been different. You needed to experience each and every one!
Manchee!! "Poo? Poo, Todd."

Manchee = my favorite book pet ever!
And if I like books 2 and 3 as much as book 1, I'll end up really loving the series.
I'm excited too! I really wanted to read this one but I also need a Y book for my 2014 A-Z challenge! ;)
I'm about 1/3 through
and really enjoying it!! I love buddy reads. Always makes the book even better! :)
And 39% done with
on audio. So good!!

Karen wrote: "Tommy, you will love the series!! :)"I really hope you're right. I'm trying to keep my expectations kind of leveled, just in case.
In your opinion, would you say the sequels get better, stay the same, or fall off a little?
Tommy in my opionion TKONLG was the weakest of the three books! You are in for a treat my friend (and many many more feels!) Gah! I loved the second book. Sooooo good.
Tommy I will also warn you ahead of time that Chaos Walking has ruined me for a ton of other books. Hope the same doesn't happen to you!

@Heidi and @JennyIf this series ends up being half as good as you guys thought(and book 1+ the first 5 chapters of book 2 lead me to believe it very likely will) I can see it raising the bar for me for a while.
I'd love for these to be turned into movies. We should force everyone to read them and sign petitions haha.

You must read the rest! Ruby really grows!
Tommy last I checked Chaos was in "in development" so at least it is on the movie radar. His other book A Monster Calls is in pre-production and has a cast so that is a good sign. Liam Neeson is cast as The Monster so I am psyched! Sigourney Weaver is also in it as the grandmother. Woot!

I think I'm gonna pick up AMC next library trip.

I had no idea it was going to be a film!
