Fallen by Lauren Kate



What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours?

17-year-old Lucinda falls in love with a gorgeous, intelligent boy, Daniel, at her new school, the grim, foreboding Sword & Cross . . . only to find out that Daniel is a fallen angel, and that they have spent lifetimes finding and losing one another as good & evil forces plot to keep them apart.

Get ready to fall . . .

I quite enjoyed this book at the time, although I haven't finished the series yet. Hope you all enjoy it!

what a heck is that? i suggest ti moderators to delete that post. it hss absolutely nothing with this theme.

and for the book:

It is still in my tbr list but i have heard a lot of bad things about it so now I'm not sure if I'll read it or not...
I'll wait to see what you guys think about it and then I'll make up my mind.

I thought the book was okayish. I did read the sequel but then I DNF the 3rd book. I really did not like the 3rd book. I personally think the series is a bit overrated but I know many enjoy it. I thought the relationship was too much of a vicious circle. I really liked Cam though!

I read this book awhile ago and I really loved it. I loved the concept of the book. However, when I started reading book 2 of the trilogy, it really started to bore me.

Group read :)

I personally thought I was gonna enjoy Fallen since my friend recommended it to me, but I found the chapters way too long (20+ pages per chapter) and not much was going on. The concept was great, but the way it was presented made me sleep.

really enjoyed the novels, my best friend is obsessed with the novels.
super excited for the movie, however very conscious of the fact that it may not be a perfect visual representation of the novel.

i loved this book i cant stop going back and reading it

I finished this series. It was ok, the 3rd book ruined it for me.

I didn't like the series, although I think that 1st book isn't THAT bad.
BUT it should have ended with "Fallen"
Everything after that is too much.

It was interesting but it was one of the first books I read in english and I found the vocabulary a little too advanced for me and that pissed me off. I did expected it to be better though....

I hated this book, and I don't say that about novels often.

First book was not bad at all but when ı read the second book... Well after that I didnt read any book of the series.And ı must say that : Lucinda was idiot . I dont know she just keep doing stupid things and ı was just like ‘ why is she keep doing those things ? What is wrong with her?' . But I liked Cam ,he was cute and he was actually the best thing in the books.

I really like this book. I like the whole series actually, but especially this one. It's been a long time since I read it last time, but it's one of te books I keep thinking about anyway. And I can't wait for the movie!

I agree with some of the commenters. I liked the first book, but the story arc kinda just kept going down after that.

It wasnt incredibly horrible though. just not that great as a whole.

I liked the little twist about Bill in Passion
and yes, Cam was cool.

I read the first a few years back and i kind of liked it and i wanted to keep reading the series but it just got lost. :/

While I enjoyed this book I found it took a while to get going. Once it did get going the pace went much faster. I happen to be a fan of this type of story, the idea of fallen angels is intriguing to me and this story seems to be one that will just get better as the characters develop and the story continues. I was a bit off put by the description of Daniel. I wanted him to be dark eyed, dark haired, I absolutely did not picture him as a blonde in any sense. I was also super bummed when (view spoiler) Overall an entertaining read and I'll be sure to read the rest in the series at some point.(less)

This book, or better said the entire book series are just terrible. they start out incredibly slow and are too complicated about subjects that don't get worked out through the series.
I couldn't be more disappointed that a film gets made of this series out of so many great young adult books or series they can choose from.
Also Daniel, is such an annoying character. Even more annoying than Tobias, if that's possible.

I read the first one and it was okay. I was a little annoyed at the ending. It was so open after a long slow story.

1st book of the fallen series is pretty good, but it got pretty boring when I reached book 3. Until now I still struggle to finish this series...

This series is waste of time. Cover is awesome, Cam was ok,but Luce and Daniel really ruined this book for me.
Unfortunately I bought this books in Box set,so I'll probably read it, but ...:(
