David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

The Groundhog's Day effect was frustrating at times, but I really think it worked in the end. This was an awesome book for Oliver and so different than Delirium.

Hi, Everyone!
Well, haven't read "Delirium", but I really love this book! It made me cry as hell! I think Ms. Olivier wanted us to experience that frustration (at times), due to our eternal hope for happy endings.

Yay!! I'm so glad you liked it. Delirium's really good too, if you like dystopian with a bit of romance :)

Haven't read this. A friend of mine says it's a tear jerker.

It sort of is at the end :)

Ugh! The ending ruined this one for me. What lessons were learned? NONE!

I'm considering reading this. I wasn't overjoyed with Delirium, but I hear book #2 is better, so I'm going to continue. Just not sure what I'll think of this story

I liked it although the Groundhogs day thing got pretty tiring :) And yeah, the girls were never really likeable. Like at all!

The girls were big B's and really think about what did they learn at the end?? Who really changed? (view spoiler)[ NO ONE!!! (hide spoiler)] Sorry this one really gets me going!

Lol I know what you mean :)

And also did we need to go through that lame ass day 7 TIMES! Ugh!

I think we were never supposed to like the characters much, but I love how the main character transformed by the end. The end was like BAM, so yea a good read :)

But what was the point of her transformation??? (view spoiler)[ she was DEAD! (hide spoiler)]

That is my thought as well David. It just keep going and going.

Lol wow Heidi, Tracy rated it lower than you! I'm not sure there was a point, but it's meant to make you change sooner rather than later because you never know when your time is up!

IMO it is better written than some other books but the actual story pissed me off. That is hard to rate. If they had half stars it would be 2.5 stars.

Those are definitely the hard ones to rate!

Yes because I try to rate my books on both the writing and the story so it is really difficult for me. I have noticed a lot of others rate solely based on the story but as you likely know by now that is not me!

I finished this book days ago. It was alright. I like it, but I got bored on repetition of events. Trying to correct and discover things in a day or I should say the last day of your life. I feel like, you should have done this before.

Her realization kicks in, which I like. At least she learned a lesson. But like I said, she should have correct things earlier. Time is precious and shouldn't be wasted.

This one was weird for me. I thought I would get bored with the repetition, and I didn't exactly love that part of it, but it also didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Overall, it was worth reading.

I agree.

i hated this book. the action in it picked up somewhat in the middle end but then just fell.kent could have found someone better. cause he was sweet and kind and handsome and sam is stupid immature and a bitch

I couldn't finish this one. It was Groundhogs Day meets Clueless/Mean Girls. Not my kind of book. I have a hard time reading contemporary books as it is.

Karen the repetition did get old. I was really pissed at the ending so you are probably better off not finishing it!

LOL! I still liked it enough to finish, but it wasn't my favorite book. I didn't mind the ending, but the repetition did grate on me quite a lot :)

Didn't love this one, really didn't like the main character & the groundhog day element was frustrating.

Right there with you!

I second!

Good to know I'm not all by my lonesome :)
