The narrator's voice is so monotonous, every time I try, I fall asleep.

Impressed that you're intrigued enough to try the sequel, though!

I just got Breaking Point in the mail today actually, so hopefully it's better maybe?!

I won't be touching this book now, but GREAT review :) <br /><br />Sunny @ <a href="http://blueskyshelf.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Blue Sky Bookshelf</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-71395243167301765532013-02-19T16:01:25.806-06:002013-02-19T16:01:25.806-06:00I'm sorry you didn't like this one! I gene...I'm sorry you didn't like this one! I generally don't put many dystopians on my TBR because they all sound fairly similar... I'm only just now warming up to the genre (Divergent was an eye-opener!). But Article 5 was among those that always sounded interesting to me (that I love the cover sure doesn't hurt). However, I don't like that type of protagonist either - (obviously) bad decisions, jumping to conclusions, always running off before giving others the chance to explain...<br />I was planning on buying it now that it'll be out on paperback soon, but I'm a bit unsure now :/ Thanks for being honest about it!Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.com
