As I was reading, I was really worried about them trying to make this one season 2. It's so gruesome and horrific. Really terrible.
We started season 2 tonight, and so far it is so incredibly nothing like the book. I'm both relieved and disappointed. I'm hoping that they took a read through this book, said "heck no!" And hopped straight to book 3. However, I have the feeling that this is where television departs from fiction.
Time to find out! On to the next!
I read these books a couple of years ago, but don't remember most of the details. However, now that the husband and I have started watching the series on Netflix, I am inspired to read them again and compare.
The series has been interesting so far, we have only seen the first few episodes though.
This is the last(?) book in the House of Night series. Number 9. I've been reading them at school; a bunch of my students were super excited about them.
Overall, the series had a fairly strong start, but the latter books felt, to me, like they're just wandering through possibilities and spending as many words as possible on as little as possible.
Whichever book follows the cliffhanger ending one where the protagonist "dies" takes place over the span of maybe 3 days and nothing much happens. Really? Oh, I think they might hop on a plane. Yeah. That's about it.
I am still curious to see if we'll get any sort of satisfying resolution... So I guess I'm finishing it out.

Another one of those books that people talk about a lot. I borrowed this one from a coworker too.
The characters are really engaging. The protagonist is a girl who has cancer. She has a couple of friends, she loves to read, and, although she is a teenager, she earned her GED so is now taking college classes. She hopes to go to.... Somewhere... Overseas to meet the author of her favourite book.

An almost romance novel feel.
No characters I really love.
Meandering plot.
Page 149/496 maybe it will pick up.
A coworker lent it to me, she loved it, as did another coworker. It's okay, but I don't get the enthusiasm yet.
Saw the movie years back, reading the book now.
Some changes, but I think, so far, that the movie did capture the essentials of the book.
Haven't finished City of Bones yet, but someone lent this to me and I feel the pressure to return it swiftly.
So... Leaving the world of the supernatural for the moment, and heading into cop drama tv tie in novels!
