Did not finish book. Stopped at 2%.
I'm sure it's a really good book, but I just don't have enough time on my hands right now, with school, sports, band, and other extracurricular activities, I need a book with a little less exposition. I'll pick it up later when I have more free time.

I just personally thought it was really slow. It's not a bad read - it's well written and is a good story, but I have other books I want to read and this one was taking too long. Never really hooked me in.

Wow. . . this was a great read. Really well written and the plot was very entertaining. 

Warning - 
If you have a sensitive stomach or a gag reflex that isn't very hard to activate, I might steer away from this book. Even if you don't, you aren't gonna want to be eating while reading.

Jeez, this is might be my favorite horror ever. Suuuuuuuuuuch a fun read!!!!! The ending was intense but oddly satisfying although pretty sad. Still, you are not going have lived a good life if you die without having read this book.

This is such a fun book to read!!! It has the perfect mix of science, adventure, and funniness in it to make it a very satisfying and entertaining read. I could reread this book several times and I think it would take a while until I get bored with it. Please read it it's amazing

Wow. I looooooved this book. It was beautifully written and emotional. I 100% recommend this book. It's amazing. 

Please don't say no to this book if you think historical fiction is boring or you prefer fast-paced books. I usually hate historical fiction and I generally only pick books that are mid-fast paced but this may be one of my favorite books of all time. You actually have to read it.
