I've tried to read this more than once, but keep giving it up.

I haven't read this but so many people seem to love it!
I gave it two stars, but the whole thing was a little hard to believe...and I nearly gave up, too. I actually stopped about halfway through and read a few other books before forcing myself to finish it.
I couldn't even finish it. It's just so dull. It doesn't go anywhere.
Lots of people love this book. I don't understand why, I thought it was so boring.
I know. It's so morose. But I heard so many screaming recommendations, and so many people gave the Sympathetic Head Tilt when I told them I couldn't finish it, I just had to.I must be missing something. Right?
I don't think we're missing anything, we just didn't get sucked into the hype.

It's a turtle race slow, but once I finished I was beyond glad I did. I have a peeve of beginning and finishing a book unless it's just THAT bad. With my expectations I had to finish the book, and like I said, was glad I did. I really enjoy your reviews on books, but we definitely have different taste! I enjoy reading what others have to say about books I adore and love...but I don't read much into books for how realistic they are or how "genius" they are. I really do read to occupy time and because I enjoy it. Thanks for all your reviews!
I was sure you'd give this book 1 star. Anxiously waiting for your review~
It was interesting enough to garner my attention, and the writing was great. That's good enough for me. I'll probably pick up the sequel.
You really have to read the sequel. It's a lot better.
you really should read pandemonium! it's a lot better than this one. it does have a, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? " Cliffhanger ending, but it's really good! It develops really well, too.
