A first glance, I thought this one would be pretty trite.  But as I got into it, I discovered a well written book, plausible plot (lacking in so many dystopian novels, and quite good character development.  I'm now on book 2 and its still holding my interest.  One of the better YA books lately.

I thought it was going to be kind of "hoakey" at first but was pleasantly surprised!

At first  I thought it was a corney story, but as I read it, it turned out to be a very good story.

As I read the other reviews I see that I belong to the side that felt the book fell short of what it could have been. I found it unnecessarily complex and confusing at times. The promise is there, and I will read the second book, but I am not expecting much at this point. I'll let you know.

At first It was just to slow for me that I actually stopped reading it but on my second try I have to be honest I couldn't put it down

It took me awhile to finish. But I do have to say I was quite surprised by the ending.

It took me awhile to get in to it with the different narrators, but once I did I was hooked!

Just when I thought I had the whole thing figured out, it took a turn that I definitely wasn't expecting.

Started off really slow and almost lost me, it wasn't until about half way through that I started getting into it and ended up actually liking it.

I was skeptical on book #1 reading it and once I finished it I knew I had to read book 2 and 3.

It took my a while to get into this one but I was pretty hooked by about half way through up until the end.

I was not ready for this, but that didn't make it bad book.

I struggled with this one in the begining. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was good. I just had a little trouble really connecting with the heroin in the begining. But then as the story moved along, it worked. There were several parts where I just said "Huh? Who would react that way?" But then like I said, as the story flowed, it just worked. Not my favorite book. But it was good.

I felt like there were too many main characters In the Beginning which made it hard for me to get really into it. But after the first chapter it settled into a rhythm and got good  and I  was anxious to see where it was gonna go.  I'm looking forward to reading number 2.

I thought it was going to be predictable, but it turned out not to be.  The characters were a bit underdeveloped, but quite interesting.
