Have you read the novellas? They're much better :)"
Are they? I would've thought the actualy novel was better...then again, I didn't read the novellas first, like I should have.
I thought they were MUCH better. Yeah, it's very weird! The plots for the novellas were just more interesting. I was lucky to read them first but then they made me not like the novel as much because it didn't continue the story the way I'd hoped.

By the way, do they have new covers on amazon? I definately liked the old ones better.
Laura wrote: "I have the Novellas on my kindle and the Book on my Shelf and havent read either because it seems everyone that read the Novellas as they came out before the book didnt much like the book or didnt ..."Yeah, and the covers were unique and different from the origional book, that's why I liked them!! And I can't wait for Crown of Midnight, but now that you've said this...I think I might wait for the second book before starting the novellas.

I'm only about 50 pages into it (it's only about 260 total). So far it's fine. My friend wanted me to read it, she said it was great. I'm sure I'll like it. It's a rare book of his I don't like these days.

I like his early books the best and kind of lost interest in the mid to late 90's but his recent works have been amazing! I especially liked Duma Key, Under the Dome and 11/22/63.
When I was young I had a hard time getting into his books because I found them dry. I read only Pet Sematary, and couldn't get through others I tried. As an older 19-20 year old I read The Green Mile and liked that one, but still had a stigma that he was too dry for me. It wasn't until my close friend started pushing me to read more of his books within the last 3 or so years that I've realized my tastes have grown into him. Honestly, I have no idea which ones I've read that have been older vs newer, hahaha. I've read Under the Dome, 11/22/63, and now I'm reading Joyland and I know those 3 are newer writings. But I've also read Eyes of the Dragon, IT (my favorite so far), The Talisman, The Long Walk... and of course Pet Sematary and The Green Mile, lol. I'm not sure when those were all written, just that I liked all of them.

Cool, I liked BRR, but not the sequel as much.

You might like it more than I did! Saba makes some really bad decisions that I thought were out of character for her and just plain weird. That was my main reason for not liking it as much. But it's still probably worth a try!
I read BRR and I loved Saba's tough personality. I hope she doesn't become too unlike herself! I'm finishing up the Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, it's actually really intense!
Hmm you might not like the second book as much for the same reason as me. I felt everything I loved about Saba disappeared.

just came in at my library and
has been staring me down since I bought it. I also have a bunch of first books of series on my shelf but I have time to choose which one I will start next =)

I will definitely let you know David I am looking forward to reading it! I loved his other two books when I read them in High School!

Then that means you haven't read it? Um, you need to! Haha, I just finished it. It's definitely going on my "favorites" shelf. :)
