I was listening to the audio, and I liked the narrator, but the story wasn't holding my interest. When does the good stuff happen? :Pstarryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-64052922543847839172012-12-18T09:03:36.540-06:002012-12-18T09:03:36.540-06:00I think because I saw the previews before I starte...I think because I saw the previews before I started listening to the audio, I can see those actors as the characters. I don't think I'll have any problems with the movie...it looks gorgeous and intense. The book, alas, doesn't hold the same lure for me.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-85376472521362263472012-12-18T09:00:01.296-06:002012-12-18T09:00:01.296-06:00I'm hoping that, too...that seeing the movie w...I'm hoping that, too...that seeing the movie will increase my interest in finishing the book.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-43445601291765677432012-12-17T15:52:04.955-06:002012-12-17T15:52:04.955-06:00I enjoy this series it has a lot of mystery and I ...I enjoy this series it has a lot of mystery and I love Ethan and Link but Lena is a pain in the ass... she is even worse in the second book,that being said. I do love this series and I am trying to read the last book in between books and it isn't working, I will do it Christmas break. Be patient Michele and I both love this series.

I really liked the first, but the second one was more difficult for me. I liked it in the end but I felt that it dragged in the middle.<br />The main problem I can see coming for me with the movie is that none of the actors even remotedly resemble the people I see in my head. Ethan and Lena look way too old to me, for one. I'm probably still going to watch it though... if it's actually shown in my country, that is.Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-11017913726098819752012-12-17T09:12:37.468-06:002012-12-17T09:12:37.468-06:00It took me 4 weeks to read it.

I think that is the only reason I haven't read the rest yet, though I do own 2 and 3 already. Maybe after you see the movie? I'm hoping it will get me back into the world to continue. <br /><br />Sara @ Forever 17 Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472364638348056306noreply@blogger.com
