Copy and paste the structure and edit your comment each time you read a new book to add it in. Obviously you don't have to use the above structure (particularly if you are on the Goodreads app and can't edit comments), so everyone is welcome to list as they see fit.

Good luck! :)

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it hasn't been translated (yet, at least) since it's a fairly new book (it was published about a year ago). I'll let you know if I find out anything about it :) It is really good, too!

Tweedledum  (tweedledum) | 2166 comments I finished Cell for my Spooky Booky challenge. I thought it was a great premise and the story really hooked me in. I noticed some reviewers were critical of the ending...... Personally I thought it was great way to end the story.
