I haven't forgotten about this book. I decided to give it my full attention after Blackout. It's worth the wait.

This book has been a mind trip. For some reason, I love it.

i need to finish this now.

OK... off to dinner. Hopefully more reading tonight.

"Let's have ourselves a revolution."

I don't understand yet why she was empty. So far, I just know that the parents are very religious. Interesting.

OH no... needle in neck..not good.

I've given up completely on reading this slow. Not Gonna Happen.

"Home sweet self-destructive emotionally abusive home." OMG.... I love Shaun. I should have used this line growing up.

Oh.My.God, so twisted. I love it.

"Fuck survivor's guilt. I'm not supposed to be the guilty one here. The people who made me the last man standing... they're the guilty ones. And they're the ones who should be afraid."--Shaun Mason, Start of Book II (Lost Souls)

I need to read slower.

"You know, addressing my crazy by name doesn't exactly help me stay sane," I said. "Nothing can help you stay sane at this point, Mason," said Becks. "That ship has sailed. Now what does she say?"

"You know you're immune because we--"

A scary YA ghost story....no, an almost sensual, romantic love story between two old souls....yes.

"Which part?" asked Maggie. "The scary part, the really scary part, the legitimately terrifying part, or the part that makes suicide sound like an awesome way to spend an evening?"

"Inciting Shaun to kill us all isn't anybody's idea of a good time." "I don't know," said Dr. Abbey. "It might take care of a few problems. It would definitely cut down on the grocery bills."

I planned on setting this book down while I read Blackout but I find myself wanting to finish this one as well. I guess I'll just do all three!

I love this book so far. However, I can understand someone expecting a YA ghost story to be disappointed.

YOU ARE NOT SAFE HERE

Wow what a twist and sad but the draw of these two, it's not gonna keep them apart.

OMG. I gotta go on boat today. Hubby invited a group of friends to go on our boat. The book I've been waiting for and I'm stuck on our boat!!! GRRR

I've come back to this book way too many times but never started it. Now, I'm finally going to do it. I've heard the audio narrator is fantastic so I thought I'd give it a go.

ok.. way too early for tears. way too early. Really liking this so far.

this entire society is so illogical, the factions so ridiculous, this world would never survive. I can't understand how this is a story. The only way this book possibly can make any sense is if there is some twilight zone ending & this was all a dream/test/experiment or something. If that is the case, it's a cheap trick. An excuse for bad writing. Huh, I think I've decided enough is enough.

i wont survive this book.

I am really rather annoyed with my inability to follow my TBR list. I have no self-control, I just move any book up & down without thought of all the ARC's I have yet to read! Ok, sorry, I'm whining.

Why the damn colors? I feel like I'm going to hear Ice-T break out in song any minute singing "Colors". I mean seriously, do you really need to know which gang is the Amity gang by sight..since they are so scary dangerous in their quest for.... for... peace. Run for the hills..... they might kill you with their peace symbols! The preoccupation w/ the gang colors is buggin me!

Nevermind, they might be in the Amity faction. I don't know where the hell they are! LOL. Does bravery equal bitchiness? Why does it seem everything out of Tris's mouth comes across as bitchiness?

How can Tris not know how the Abnegation faction would hold a meeting? She is making a big deal wondering why they don't get up and argue. Wasn't she raised in a Abnegation faction? Wasn't that her parent's faction?
