After reading The Book Thief I was immediately a fan of Markus Zusak and without thinking got other books from him. Unfortunately, Getting the Girl was nothing like The Book Thief.

I'm partly to blame, since I got the third book in a series, but still even if I couldn't understand all that was going on I still expected something more. I couldn't feel any of the charm and awesomeness I had expected so I was actually really disappointed by this book.

I don't know-I wouldn't recommend this book to any one I know. It started out really rough, I almost put it down. The ending was better, I could hear the main characters voice and his desire to be. I did like how he continually referred to his mother as Mrs. Wolfe and had a great respect for her.

Okay. I didn't know it was part of a trilogy. Haha. I liked it, it wasn't the best thing ever, but it was different from what I used to read. Now I'll try to find the first two books :)

This is a very Emo book written by a fantastic author. No where near the standards i have come to expect. To be honest it really isnt that good, it could have been written by anybody, nothing particularly stands out that deserves praise. Zusak's best works are The Book Thief and I am the Messenger. This is a definite miss.

I really loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I haven't read the first book of this trilogy, and I'm not sure if I intend to, but I found I liked this one more than the second book, Fighting Ruben Wolfe. I liked it quite a bit. I had hoped it would have ended differently, but I am satisfied enough. Perhaps I should go back and read the first book. If only to get to know Cameron Wolfe a little bit more.

Good from middle to end. Written well, as usual with Zusak.
