Thoughts about this book?

it was an amazing read. cinder is so brave although I did feel sorry for her a lot through out the story

The book is still on the way. I'll be reading it in the next couple of days.

I just started reading it! It's really nice.

I just finished it, and the story is wonderful! I'll be writing a review pretty soon.

I now know why!

Looks like I'm going to have to get this book.

I've heard about this book. I think it showed up in my Goodreads recommendations a couple times. Since I heard good reviews about it here and we're reading it, I guess I'll have to get it.

Yes, the two of you are going to have to! :P

once you read it you can't go back its that good. I didn't expect it to be I'm not really a girly girl into fairy tales but this adaptation stumps all the rest.

I am almost done with it :)

How is it? How is it?

its very nice up till now :)

Enjoy!

Thanks!!!!

I think mixing fairy tales with a futuristic world is a great idea. After I finished Cinder, I ran straight to the library to get the next book. The Lunar Chronicles is one unforgettable series! Enjoy!

A friend suggested it. I didn't expect it to be this good! But I need to find the next book.

well,the story was set up in china and lots of character's names are chinese.As a chinese,it felt so close when i read the story.PS i just heard that the chinese translation version had alreay come out!

I'm currently reading Cinder. 42% done. :)
I have my suspicions that Cinder is Princess Selene. Nobody told me that but I suspect it. Don't tell me if I'm right! :D

Cinder is amazing! I have read cinder, scarlet, and cress, and I still need to read Winter. I wasn't as impressed with Scarlet as I was with Cinder and Cress.

Cinder is a masterpiece. It's very well written, perfect character building and development, innovative and intriguing plot, etc. I have read the whole series and am currently reading Stars Above which is a collection of stories about how our favorite characters came to be. I can't wait for the graphic novel to come out already.

Cinder had me entranced. I also really liked the way the author added in quotes from the original fairytale when entering a new "part".

I loved Cinder the most. I've read only Scarlet and Cress, but they weren't as good as this.

I loved that, too.

Is Cinder chick lit?

Okay don't laugh at me but WHAT is a eyborg ??

what is a eyborg?

lolol what is that???

That's a man with three eyes.

i thought you meant scyborg

If you mean cyborg, a cyborg (short for "cybernetic organism") is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts.

Triclopse or triops?

I think Tryclops is the right word.

I must admit that I was first skeptical because... a mixture of Science Fiction and fairy tale seemed weird. But I'm glad that I have read it! I love how the author plays with the real fairy tale. All the slight changes - (view spoiler)[ like with her stepsisters, that she actually likes one of them. And that she, in fact, didn't look pretty at the ball but rather horrible. (hide spoiler)] And that she was strong enough to do what she needed to do non the less. And Iko's the best!

Yeah, I agree, the first was the best. But I totally fell in love with Scarling, she's gorgeous, and I think that Cress's really, really sweet. Winter on the other hand... I like the character, but the book was waaay too long. It should have been cut by half. But it has its moments!

I don't particularly like any of the guys.

I'm interested in reading this! I hope it's as good as everyone is saying it is.

oh !!!!! when you done tell me who is your favorite couple !!!

if you read the whole series

One of my favorite series ever!!

I love this retelling of Cinderella, I read the entire series in a week!

I still haven't read Winter. :(

I love this series! It's awesome
