This book was on the bookshelves at the hotel we’re staying at so wasn’t on my tbr and I never would’ve picked it up otherwise!

I definitely enjoyed it, didn’t find it too slow or anything but the change in emotions the characters had towards each other were like a whiplash multiple times so that part was a bit iffy for me.

I can see why others love this but personally wasn’t it!

Ah I’m really not sure what my rating is for this. I enjoyed it for sure, I read it in one sitting (but I am on holiday so I’m not going to take that into account as I had the time and energy to solely sit and read), but I’m left with a lot of questions.

It was a powerful read, reminded me a bit of Nazi Germany. The ending made me question what the real meaning of the book was about - in a similar way to how I felt after reading I Who Have Never Known Men.

I saw a review that mentioned it kind of gives similar timeline of dementia and forgetting things, which I get and… wow.

This will be one I process for a while I feel!

I devoured this!!! Heard so much about this book so I bought it years ago but it’s been sat on my shelves since. I knew it was a YA but honestly it felt at times more than a YA! It was so intense, claustrophobic and dystopian. The characters were brilliant. Pacing was great. I was hooked!!!

I know it’s a trilogy and I’ve heard the third one just isn’t going to be published but I’ll still read the second one anyway.

Hmmm, I ‘liked’ this but didn’t enjoy it, if that makes sense?

I didn’t know anything about it apart from people loving the film. I felt it was so predictable but I guess it’s a kids book so it’s bound to be.

I just felt like a lot of repetitive storytelling & slow paced when the outcome was so typical.
