This one was another all-nighter. And I’m really starting to like present tense, despite my previous irritation with it.I’m not very good at the book review thing. Feels too much like a book report, and there’s something about those that just makes my brain want to shut down.
But I will say that the pacing was incredible, and the love story is super intense. Some other reviews have said it was scary, and I didn’t really get that. BUT, I’m a thriller/horror movie junky and nothing has really scared me since that kid in Pet Sematary with the scalpel. I haven’t seen that movie in like twenty years, but the image of that kid still gives me the creeps and makes me want to hide my ankles. :)
My feelings on the ending are mixed, but the girl who showed me where to find it in the bookstore, said, “It was so good and when I got to the end, I was like ‘Whoa.’” So make of that what you will. :) Overall, I loved it and will probably read it again, which is the true test for me.
Okay so I read about this book over and over again on blogs ranting how good and scary it was. So naturally I bought it and while yes it was well written and enjoyed, the horror elements were not as strong as I liked it to be.
ReplyDeleteThe only downfall for me was it resembled a lot of Shamalans "The Village". It is worth the read for sure, but it didn't make my top reads.
If only it didn't involve zombies! It sounds and looks so good, but I get nauseous just thinking about them. >.<
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE this book! And I didn't think it was scary either.
ReplyDeletethanks for the recommendation. Just finished the Mortal Instruments series and needing something new to get lost in!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book so much!!! I thought the writing was really great.
ReplyDeleteI gave your blog an award! :) Stop by to pick it up when you can!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't scared, but I was disturbed :D. Maybe this makes me weird, but I love it when a book disturbs me. It means it's poking my emotional buttons, and that is hard to do!
ReplyDeleteThe ending disturbed me in another way... I'm still not sure about it. I did hear there is a sequel coming out, and I HAVE to read it if that's true.
