You've just convinced me to go and reread it AND BUY IT! That is one piece of AWESOME like no other! <br /><br />The thing with this book was that I had an two year on and off thing with the book. The blurb didn't intrigue me, Manchee and Todd's dialogue seemed pointless and I wasn't into it. But thirty pages, as you've shown, is all you need to get hooked to this book! It's amazing. Really amazing. Hope you read the rest of the series...you'll come across a fair few surprises (that will make you love this even more) and thanks for the fresh opinions! Totally going on my to-buy list now! :DMawa Mahimahttp://allthingswordy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-78368365458357694792014-07-31T11:09:26.139-04:002014-07-31T11:09:26.139-04:00What's funny about this book is that I read ma...What's funny about this book is that I read maybe the first few sentences and put it down. I didn't like the style at all and when you know, you know, right? I should probably give it another chance though since it sounds like you're enjoying it!Simply_Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436996813673801003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-1744441128516390782014-07-30T20:33:50.902-04:002014-07-30T20:33:50.902-04:00I've been looking at this series for a while n...I've been looking at this series for a while now and hearing a lot about it, and I'm officially intrigued. This one's definitely going on the tbr list. And the slumplist sounds fantastic, pleasepleaseplease share it! Sounds like such a good idea for getting back into the habit.

I did a combo of reading it and listening to the audio version, which was very well done. In fact, I think hearing the audio helped me comprehend the "noise" aspect of the whole book. Keep reading - it's so worth it. Truly one of the best YA trilogies I've ever read.Lynn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444488890483608914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-9079237863520683012014-07-30T17:06:44.950-04:002014-07-30T17:06:44.950-04:00I read this last month and it had me completely ho...I read this last month and it had me completely hooked on the story. I'm half way through the second one now. I actually like the narration, because it's a little insight into how they would sound. <br /><br />The slumplist is a great idea! :) Great way to find the books that actually hook you, rather than slowly trudging through the ones that don't.

The narration, as you pointed out, wasn't something I wanted to deal with at the time. However, you have given me hope that I might be able to get past that as I've heard great things about this one. :) <br /><br />I think using the 'slumplist' is a great idea. And I may steal your 30 page rule. Mine's at about 75 pgs, and sometimes I feel like once I've gotten that far I may as well keep going. But I am getting better because, as you said, there are too many books in this world to read ones I'm not that interested in. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017636623697049877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-24883055777633919822014-07-30T08:59:32.001-04:002014-07-30T08:59:32.001-04:00I love the idea of a slumplist!

I got though over 75% when I finally put the book down. Which is weird, because it does have great pace, and so many people love this series. I'm not sure why this book left me so sad,(well, I know part of the reason) but I just couldn't continue. I can't wait to see more of your slumplist, happy reading, Lori!

This really helped me out, as 'The Knife Of Never Letting Go' is literally staring at me from the bedside table at the moment - and as of yet, I have not had the willpower or time to start the weighty looking book! I know might have to give it a go!<br /><br />Great blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063704388933487302noreply@blogger.com
