I loved the book, though. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-16114253865517580162012-12-20T21:47:47.738-05:002012-12-20T21:47:47.738-05:00I am so glad you reviewed this one.

But I too loved Delirium and Pandemonium, so was interested in this one. I'll have to give it a try!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076745524122886751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-51262998967685649902012-12-20T08:59:14.721-05:002012-12-20T08:59:14.721-05:00I borrowed this from the library because it was by...I borrowed this from the library because it was by Lauren Oliver; I hadn't read the synopsis before and was appalled by the behavior of Sam and her friends in the beginning. Oliver truly is a gifted writer; she got me to really enjoy a book that I otherwise would have hated because of how loathsome some of the characters are. You should definitely give this a read! :)Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-51671830716444287292012-12-20T04:46:53.256-05:002012-12-20T04:46:53.256-05:00I loved Delirium and Lauren Oliver's writing s...I loved Delirium and Lauren Oliver's writing style is gorgeous, but I've somehow never read this book, mainly because (like you said) people didn't like the main character, and I don't like reading about characters I hate. But I'm glad she grows throughout the book and now I'm convinced that I HAVE to read it soon. Great review!:)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.com
