It was just kind of *meh* for me. None of the characters truly drew me in nor was there much in the way of fast-paced movement (with the exception the one notable sequence when we find out what ultimately happens to Sunday). The story was entirely understated, which isn't necessarily a bad thing just didn't do a whole lot for me personally.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965647842119649711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-46351143904588858422010-03-14T20:00:42.698-04:002010-03-14T20:00:42.698-04:00I have this book on preorder and now am thinking i...I have this book on preorder and now am thinking it's not a must read as much as I was thinking it was. I'll still give it a try when it gets here, just will keep your review in the back of my mind while reading.<br /><br />Thanks for the review.<br />-LisaA Life Bound By Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425957537782048640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-35926183856353218332010-03-14T19:11:13.934-04:002010-03-14T19:11:13.934-04:00McKenzie: WHAT?!

I'm amazed!<br /><br />La Coccinelle, hmmm... I wonder if that "sex switch" is inevitable...? My brain's mush due to studying right now, but you're welcome to check the book out and see for yourself whether or not you think the sexism aspect was handled well! :)<br /><br />Lenore: I know the feeling. It's sooo difficult to resist reading each and every one...<br /><br />Audrey: Good to know you'll still try it! Who knows, it could be your thing. :)<br /><br />Lauren: Haha, you're like Lenore. And me, a little. :PSteph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-13573536270864417632010-03-14T18:57:40.972-04:002010-03-14T18:57:40.972-04:00Aaargh, I've been waiting impatiently for this...Aaargh, I've been waiting impatiently for this one for a while and was hoping it would be awesome. It kind of sounds like one of the books in Jean Ure's Plague series, actually. I might still check it out, because I have to read anything even vaguely dystopian (it's a compulsion). Interesting review, as ever. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-57439443217258261542010-03-14T18:43:33.583-04:002010-03-14T18:43:33.583-04:00I'm kind of sad you disliked it, I've been...I'm kind of sad you disliked it, I've been wanting to read this book for a while when I read a fantastic review on another site, but now it seems just average.

Any thoughts on that?La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-22878746588069135342010-03-14T17:27:53.993-04:002010-03-14T17:27:53.993-04:00Good review.
