I just finished this book, and I have to say, it surprised me over and over again.

Although the plot is pretty straightforward, as in you can see where the story is going to end up in broad strokes, I found myself surprised time and time again by this book, and I loved that about it. Lauren Oliver builds tension on the action (and the unexpected) effortlessly, and, although the story is, at it's core, about love, she doesn't let the story revolve only around the relationship between Lena and Alex, but instead uses it as a stepping stone for Lena's discoveries about her world.

This book is thrilling, and heart wrenching, and surprising in all of the best ways. A wild ride, and a ride I can't wait to continue.

I'm officially rating this at a 3.5. The book from Chapter 18 onward was great-literally couldn't put it down. However, all the way up to that point I found myself trudging thru. I do recommend this book, but be prepared for a slow start.

Basic introduction to a series, easy read. Most likely YA. Easy read to get back in the swing of things!

I would totally die a thousand deaths if this story would be more than fiction. It's just too sad.
But I still have to commend the author for having such an imagination. :)

Great book, kinda wordy. I want to get to the point and I understand you have to build up a story but some of the stuff was kinda unnecessary. Still a great book can't wait to read #2
