Creepy, unsettling, but entertaining. Who were the true monsters in the end?

Captivating, shocking, and all around beautiful. Stephen King shows he's a Mastermind once again and can make words flow like poetry.

There's something magical about the world Kiera Cass has made. Although a little slow at times, the story is charming. The characters are easy to like and your left with a sense of curiosity and wonder.

This book was very well written. Something about the way Finch spoke was special and I really understood what he meant. However, I just wasn't prepared for how dark it got, how empty it made me feel. In the beginning I had a hard time getting into it and for awhile, in it's darkest moments, I wish I had put it down then. It wasn't easy to get through but I'm glad I finished. The ending left you with just a little piece of hope.

Confusing and utterly unimpressive. I was bored through most of it and felt no connection to the characters. One of my least favorite reads of the year so far

Entertaining but not ground shaking

I found the story helpful in understanding how the Queen could have been in love with the King considering all he did to Maxon

"We're all just ghost of the people we were, and countfiets replicas of the people we wanted to be."

Wow. I don't even know where to begin with this book. Not only was it captivating, luring you in with every word, but it was also beautiful.

"Some people are ghosts before they are dead."

Each chapter was filled with words I wanted to write down and string up on my walls.

"We are children disguised as adults."

The characters were amazing. I never once felt like I was reading about fictional people. They all seemed so real.

"Little girls are different than boys. They're made of sugar, and spice, and scar for life."

Twist after twist, I never once expected what happened next. I never wanted to stop reading this story.

"A front way seat to a slow suicide."

This book isn't profound or written like poetry. It was cheesy, predictable, and at parts, made me cringe. But it was also sweet, and exciting. It gave you that warm and fuzzy feeling that you can't help smiling from. It was a light-hearted, easy read. Perfect for a rainy afternoon.
