I thought that this book was good, but moved a little slow for me.  I understand that it had to build the story line up for the next book in the series,  I was hoping that it would develop a little bit more and have more of a love story in it.  Other than that it had action, which I like, and it had a budding romance.  I just felt like it took a little long to get to some aspects of the book and to reveal some of the mysteries involved.  I would recommend this to others.  I would like to read the next installment.  Hopefully it will be a little bit more revealing and exciting than this one.  If it is not then I might not continue the series.

This is a good book, but I found it dragged on a bit.  Generally it takes me 3 days to read a book of this nature but this took me over 2 months.

Sadly this book didn't really live up to my expectations, I did enjoy itbut I wanted a bit more from it and I didn't find the ending that great. I thought that the build up was quite slow and the story didn't really pick up any pace until around half way through, to be honest, I'm more of a reader that needs to be drawn in from the first few pages with this kind of book and that meant thatI didn't really connect with the characters and it did affect my enjoyment, but that is not to say that it would be the same for all readers. If you are into books with a slow build up this is definitely one you would love but sadly it wasn't a 5 star read for me,3.5 stars from me for this one rounded up to 4 stars.

It was slow at first, but sped up towards the middle. It was difficult to read because it was written so long ago, but overall, I thought it was a somewhat good book.

The book was good. For some unknown reason I had a hard ti! e getting into it, the first book i read in one sitting i just couldn't put it down. This book took me about a week and a half to finish. Don't get me wrong I liked it but it was a little slow at some pionts.

This book was pretty good but I found it moved at a very slowly, but the girls had some very funny moments. I also didn't care for the bathroom breaks and fillers like that. Maybe that's why it dragged. I love the friendship and all the things the girls shared. The trip was nuts and some things I did enjoy and the book had a good ending. I would recommend this book.

Good book, but a little long winded to me.  The plot was a good idea, but I felt I was just drifting along until the last few chapters.  It did not make me want to run out and buy more of this series.

I liked the characters in the story. They were smart and funny but the book read a little slow for me.

Outside is a good book.
But a little too slow for my taste.

In the beginning, the book connected to me and I felt what the characters felt. The Eleonor chapters were also intriguing and the more of them I read the more 0f them I wanted to read.
I loved the little love stories in the book, I loved the loss, I loved the strength in the characters, I loved the conflicts, I loved the "bad guys", I loved the "good guys", but I DIDN'T LOVE THE BOOK. I just liked it.

For me, the beginning and the end of each chapter was usually more or less the best part. The middles sort of lost me and I just kept reading to finish it, but when I ACTUALLY finished them I wanted to continue on. So, by the end of the book I was just reading to finish it.

But still, the author managed to pull through with the ending and everything clicked into place- I was so exhilarated that I couldn't sleep and started reading another book to calm myself. So all in all, I'm glad that I decided to read this dystopian and if you love to read as much as I do, give this little book a shot. You might like it like I did.

I'm a big fan of the author, so when I was offered a chance to review her book, I jumped in immediately.

However:
The book started a tad boring for me. But I kept at it. And I was glad I did. By the 49% mark (somewhat) I started enjoying the book. The story turned better for me. Unfortunately, it didn't stay that way for very long. I lost the spark again, but I did finish the book.

The story was OK. I read the blurb, and expected more, but well, maybe that was on me. The characters I did like, and I could enjoy their story for a while. I just wish it grabbed me from start to finish.

Personally, I felt it was a little slow at the beginning, but it did pick up at the end where the surprises come in.

Good reading but needed to move a little faster.

I liked this book, however, it did not set the world on fire for me.  I will read the second book when it comes out and reserve judgement until then.  This was a good book just a bit slow for me personally.  I like the characters but want to know more about them and I think that could happen in book 2 of the series.

It was somewhat good. I think it started out somewhat slow though. I would give it 3.5 stars.
