I already started to read this... :)


Julie I have it on hold as both an ebook and a hardcover from the library. I'll grab whichever becomes available first! :)

I have the audiobook...it is pretty good! And the narrator is enjoyable


Julie My library doesn't carry the audio, but hopefully I will be able to get my hands on one of the versions before the end of the month!

I paused for a bit...so I don't get so far ahead


Julie Yay! I just got notice that it's available at the library by my work. I'm going to pick it up on Monday & take it with us camping next week! :)

Yay!! Okay!!! I will continue on Monday!


Julie Ummmm.....I didn't realize this was a gigantic tome! I might not get through this in June with all my other books I have lined up to read this month!

I will definitely start it though.....

I have it on audio, I figured it was probably big, but don't really know how big


Julie It is huge! LOL

Over 700 pages in hard cover!

We can read it over two months LOL


Julie I was able to get it in ebook form too. I'll start reading it within the next week or so.....

okay!


Julie You're right! This is really good! I've only gotten through chapter 5 and I'm already intrigued. Joe Hill has a great writing style that keeps you interested. It flows well and the pace is good, and he isn't too wordy (like his Dad can sometimes be).....


Julie OMG! You are so right about Jakob! I want to kick that f@% in the nuts! LOL

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know right! You seem to be around where I am...so I will start it back up now :) It is such a wonderful book!! And I look forward to seeing where it goes


Julie I am just starting chapter 11, so not too far in yet.

What's with the weird kids showing up trick-or-treating at her door?!? How do they know she's pregnant? So weird.....


Julie Have you been listening to this one at all.....I'm about 28% into it I think. They are just starting the rescue the two convicts that are trapped. Does that ring a bell?

I am not there yet. I havent listened for a bit. I had to finish my book club book for Thursday LOL. I have one more I am finishing out and then this audiobook is fully getting the rest of my attention. I am at where it starts "December 10" which I think is about 25%


Julie Oh my gosh.....it is so good! I am 51% through it so far on my tablet.


Julie My favorite book of the year so far.....by far! I can't even wait to see what happens. I am delaying leaving to go camping so I can finish it! LOL


Julie Finished this up late last night.....let me know when you're done. I don't want to give anything away!

I am at 70% :) I am slowly but surely getting there!

I am getting a little bored...I am hoping that it picks up soon now that they are plotting leaving camp


Julie You have no idea......I thought it was five stars.....up until the ending. I hated the ending. :(

Little Bee (littlebeesreads) | 698 comments Mod
LOL i kinda know the ending, Nick is currently telling Harper the story of stealing the Portable Mother. That is where I am right now


Julie What?!? How do you know the ending?

Little Bee (littlebeesreads) | 698 comments Mod
I asked a friend who was reading it, but she didnt give all the details...however...I am not sure if you had an extra ending in your book? After all the credits of my audio version, they said for listening they were going to tell extra story because there was more...and it was the boat pulling up to the other island they heard about, harper was waving a glowing hand at people on the shore, and a little boy with his mother waved his glowing hand back

So what is in August?


Julie Martha Quinn's Island or the island they decided they would try to find after that?


Julie And what sounds good to you for August? :)


message 37: by Little Bee (new) - added it

Little Bee (littlebeesreads) | 698 comments Mod
The island they were trying to find after


Julie Oh okay, my book just ended when they talked about going to try & find it. I thought the ending was too open-ended. I hate that!

Almost makes me wonder if he will write a sequel though.....
