This blog...
I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.
This book was outstanding! So many great twists and turns that keep you on your toes and make it really easy to finish in a day. I actually forced myself not to read it while I was stuck inside thanks to Hurricane Irene. I wanted to be able to spread it out...so I picked it up Monday afternoon and finished it around 1am! Totally worth the sleepiness at work, but I had nothing to read on the subway today!
I will say this though, I was not too fond of the ending. I kept thinking it was a dream and she was going to wake up and get back to the story...except she did not! Once I finished the whole book it felt like the last few chapters had been written by someone else and rushed to end it. Despite this I will still re-read this series and add them to my must by list!
I am going to start by saying that one of the reason this post is so much more upbeat than the post of the first book is because I already have the next one sitting on my dresser. Oh yes, I learn from my mistakes...I requested the next book before even starting this one! So now for the review...
HOLY COW!! This book is amazing! If you thought the first one was good...boy are you in for a treat! This one takes the series to a whole new level, it is really very exciting. I think the only upside to Hurricane Irene hitting New York City this weekend is that now I do not need an excuse to read all day long. Not even the dogs will make me feel bad, because they will not want to leave either!
The bottom line is...READ IT!!
I am currently trying really hard not to yell...'It's not fair!!!!' I just realized this morning that I would very likely finish the book today and had yet to request the next one! And of course there are 52 people ahead of me and I just finished the book! And all I want is to pick up the next one...Ahhhh!!!
I have been hearing great thing about this series for a while, and actually had the book for a few days before I actually started reading it and it took me a few to get going. Not because it was slow, but more because I was busy and did not give it the time of day...of course as soon as I did I finished it fast! Probably too fast, but it was just so good...When you think you know what is going to happen it throws you through a loop and then another and another....again I just want to yell!!
