I'm not that far into it, I've just read a few chapters. So far I'm finding it kind of confusing, partly because sometimes I can't tell what are metaphors and what's literal? (view spoiler) And that's kind of a pet peeve of mine, but maybe I'll get used to it. :D


message 14803: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments I was disappointed overall but I think it is one of those books you either love or hate.

SO GOOD :)


message 14808: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 738 comments @Heidi - I've read about half of it now (since every paragraph is only like a sentence long, lol) and yeahhh I'm leaning more towards the "hate it" side. :P The style feels really forced, and none of the characters have much personality. I was hoping I would like it more, but ah well.

@Karen - I liked GSAW, but obviously it was not as good as TKAM. I tried to see it more as an early draft of TKAM than a sequel. There were parts of it that I liked more than others, especially the flashback scenes. Over all I thought it was good but not great.

@David - RIGHT??? :D I just love how creative the story is. And so intense.


message 14809: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Brigid that was my same issue with the book. I am character driven and did not care for even one character in the book. I also figured out what was going on pretty quickly.

message 14813: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments I just finished Half My Facebook Friends Are Ferrets by J.A. Buckle and it was fantastic! If you like Winger (Winger, #1) by Andrew Smith , you'll probably like Half My Facebook Friends Are Ferrets by J. A. Buckle.

Just about to begin Shadows of Sherwood (Robyn Hoodlum, #1) by Kekla Magoon and Geek Girl (Geek Girl, #1) by Holly Smale !


message 14814: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 738 comments @Heidi - Exactly. I didn't have much sympathy for anyone. And especially after finding out (view spoiler), I really didn't like her or feel sorry for her. :P

@Karen - I don't know many people who have read it, either––seems like a lot of my friends have chosen to skip it, and I don't blame them what with all the sketchy publishing drama. I thought it was interesting to read, though, and I'm curious to see what you think of it!

@Lauren - oooh I love Winger, so I will have to check that book out! :)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments Just finished Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas and it was absolutely everything I hoped it would be (and was scared that it would be). It certainly didn't disappoint. And completely blew me away. Absolutely loved it.

Now I'm starting Silver in the Blood by Jessica Day George.

It's actually really rare for me to read a series straight through(I like breaking up my series to read the books apart from each other usually), but this time I'm thinking I'm just gonna go straight through all 4 :)

They were really good. Not as good as the Emily Of New Moon and Anne Of Green Gables books, but enjoyable reads.

Really? I thought Anne was better. Though, not by much... I mean, they were both great.


message 14847: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Thanks Victoria! I grabbed the first book - it was only 99 cents on Kindle and it is whispersync compatible. It will have to be pretty wonderful to bump Anne's place in my heart though.
