It also feels like some of the newer movies -- Braveheart and Rob Roy, for example, but some cheesier ones with Stephen Seagall or Chuck Norris, where the villains are simply evil with no particular nuance. A villain who is purely evil might as well be a dinosaur or a volcano, and I was fascinated by the book almost all the way through until there was just one too many "bad scary guy jumps out of nowhere" moment. And then to find out you bought half a book? I don't think I'll pick up the next volume. I really feel cheated by the non-ending and there's no promise of anything more than another set of chases.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807727819590358834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-81801554782448179972009-06-24T11:51:23.873-05:002009-06-24T11:51:23.873-05:00I read this book last week, part of the Carnegie b...I read this book last week, part of the Carnegie book awards and throughly enjoyed it. It took me a while to really get into it but now can't wait to read the sequel! At certain parts, it was some of the strongest emotions ever induced by a book i have ever felt. However, I do agree with Becky to a certain extent. The initial concepts of the book are great, but the chase does seem to go on too long with not much happening but running. Overall though, it is one of the best novels I have read in a long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-37050630229446159932009-05-23T19:45:37.005-05:002009-05-23T19:45:37.005-05:00Book starts out great but I agree with Becky, just...Book starts out great but I agree with Becky, just goes downhill. The premise of the story is in fact intriguing and interesting, but, after you get past the intial concepts and ideas of the noise, the secrets, etc., it just becomes a chase that goes on and on and on without anything really new or interesting, just too many near-death experiences with the same villians. Rediculous. By the time the book reveals the secrets you are waiting for, I already figured them out. And the ending was a HUGE letdown; it was shocking how abrupt and OPEN it ended. Cliffhanger is one thing. This is an unfinished book. There is no true resolution in this story at this point and after that many pages, a ready deserves one. I will not buy the second book in the story. At this point I could care less what happens. Too bad because it had the potential to be a much better book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-15494255956516471672009-03-07T03:55:00.000-06:002009-03-07T03:55:00.000-06:00im sure everyone has heard of or read the popular ...im sure everyone has heard of or read the popular series twilight<BR/>and i think this beats it by far. it is the best book ive read yet. and i am eagerly awaiting the next book.<BR/>anyway i love this book and highly recomendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-82404182093704593962008-12-31T05:29:00.000-06:002008-12-31T05:29:00.000-06:00has viola died??????I'm 12 years old, anyway.. thi...has viola died??????<BR/><BR/>I'm 12 years old, anyway.. this book is awesome, so sad also, please tell me viola hasnt died.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-52417394525053254482008-10-18T18:11:00.000-05:002008-10-18T18:11:00.000-05:00I've read a few reviews of this book and you are t...I've read a few reviews of this book and you are the first one I've seen that mentions hope. I personally think that is the key to the ending of the book: hope and despair. We've been taken on a roller-coaster ride of both, and as readers get left in a position of either hoping or despairing at the very end. To say it is just a hook onto the next in a series doesn't do the book justice IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-56577720799468072692008-10-18T14:26:00.000-05:002008-10-18T14:26:00.000-05:00I am reading this now and loving it so far!I am reading this now and loving it so far!Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.com
