message 4: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I am reading it for the November genre challenge. As you can see, I am really behind. I have heard great things about it.


message 5: by Dory (new)

Dory (fishthatreads) | 359 comments I own the eBook, I haven't read it in a long time.
It was a great book back when i read it as a beginner book worm. Wonder what it will be like now :)

Great things about the book, i'll admit the movie was terrifying.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments There's a movie? I will have to check that out after I read it.

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Ooh, I loved this book! Though I'll admit I liked it a lot more because of the narrator in the audio version. Great acting and such distinct voices. I've actually listened to the whole series twice just to hear the narration. :D

I hope you all like the book :)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Gah, now I want the audio version! LOL! Hopefully my hold on the audio version comes in during the next few days and I can switch from the hardcover (just started it, through the prologue) to the audio.


message 9: by Dory (new)

Dory (fishthatreads) | 359 comments Im gonna get the audio now.

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Too bad Audible doesn't let you loan out books! I'd send it to you both if I could.
I just randomly bought it a loong time ago, having never heard about it before when it was on sale for, like, 4 dollars or something, started listening to it and I remember being shocked at how fast I got into it!
I just re-listened to the first couple of chapters and it made me want to listen to it all again. She actually acts it all out and together with the way the first person writing is done, it's a good combination!
If I get done with another audiobook I am listening to right now, I just might join and re-listen to it :)

There were a few things that bugged me in the series about some characters, yet the audio made up for it all so much that I still gave it 5 stars. :D

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I love audio books like that. I have listened to some that are just terrible in the audio format and others that are absolutely amazing.

Good news, just got the audio from my library. I am already 3 chapters in but I think I will change formats.


message 12: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments 4 chapters in. I switched to the audio. The audio is good, I like the reader but due to time constraints, I may actually end up going back to the hardcover.

I can't wait for everyone to find out (view spoiler)


message 13: by Dory (new)

Dory (fishthatreads) | 359 comments Ive only listened to the prologue x) But ive already read it before.

message 16: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments sorry I didn't comment. I finished this in two sittings as I had a hard time putting it down. I wish we had (view spoiler) but I really liked it and can't wait to find out what happens next. will pick up book two in january.


message 17: by Dory (new)

Dory (fishthatreads) | 359 comments Do you want to buddy read that?

I think there was an alright amount of time traveling, but the beginning was slow.


message 18: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (readingwithmanda) I might have to put this off. I'm getting way far behind but hope to read this soon.
