Hi, I had the same responce as you when I read this book, but I then watched a Tv series based on the books and enjoyed them. They really brought the series to life. Merry Christmas and thank for a great year of books. Robyn

Great review! I just read it and it was mind-blowingly twisty and twisted read! Gave it four star because it was a bit too long but other than that great read! 😊

I have been working my way through a Goodreads list of the best 48 mysteries and thrillers from the past three years. Even though I enjoy those genres, the books haven't always been the best.
@helenclare3250 4 күн бұрын
I very rarely DNF. Mainly because I know what I like and my genres. Occasionally I'll be surprised within that. Two examples; a book that was juvenile and patronising, I just couldn't stand it and a book that was horribly graphic that was not in that genre. Those weren't worth pushing on with. I hope you have a good reading December and are feeling better.
@TheHonestBookReviewer 4 күн бұрын
Thank you. I am feeling better with each day. I have been thinking a lot lately on why I don't DNF, but part of me still can't do it, even though it would save me time. I think it's because I believe there has to be something good in every book somewhere.

I think i like your point about how inconsequential everything feels in this book. There are no stakes, and hence, no real tension. What i ultimately never understood was why a several hundred years old vampire would fall for a highschool girl. It made the whole book - for me - feel more like a romantic fantasy with a self-insert character than an actual story.

I read the Tomorrow series when I was in high school, I loved it and couldn't read it fast enough. Its such an iconic series, I think for the reasons you listed, the characters are so well written that it almost feels like a biography, the thought provoking narrative around the ethics of warfare, and the strong female leads at the expense of the male characters was really refreshing to read ( I feel like you either have a strong female or strong male lead, and the opposite is almost dumbed down to make the lead seem stronger, and that doesn't happen in this series). I definitely need to re-read this series. A great video, and a great range of books you've read this month. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on the goodreads list and wrap up too 😊
