I just finished it, and I was definitely non-plussed. I really don’t see how it got so much hype. *shrugs*

[…] I wasn’t so crazy about The Knife of Never Letting Go, I thought it was worth reading the rest of the series to see what happened with Todd and Fiona. […]

I had not yet heard much about this book, so your review was really enlightening. It sounds like a really interesting book, but one thing that might keep me away is that it is so fast paced. I tend to like reads that are a little more meandering. I am sorry that you didn't absolutely love the book, but you did write a very compelling review. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Home by Marilynne Robinson - 336 pgs =-.

I only read the first two paragraphs of your review since I have this one from the library to read. I can't wait to read it! .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..Bed of Roses – Nora Roberts =-.

I'm hesitant to read this for just that same reason. Maybe in a few months when I forget why I put this on my list... .-= Jen - Devourer of Books´s last blog ..Children of Dust – Book Review =-.

I just got this from the library, but haven't had a chance to start it (I skipped your review after the spoiler warning). I'm curious to see where I fall on the love/lukewarm scale. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..What's in a Name 2: Wrap Up =-.

Well it’s good to hear that blogger hype isn’t perfect! I was beginning to fear for all the books I need to read since most bloggers seem to love them, and so far, for me, the hype has turned out to have merit. Love hearing I can relax! :–)

Well, I haven’t read it–I probably won’t, either. It really doesn’t sound like my type of book. But I know what you mean about hype raising expectations to an unrealistic degree. It’s always better when a good book comes as a surprise, isn’t it?

I haven't read the book yet, so I skimmed your review... but in a way, I'm glad to read a less stellar review so that I can lower my expectations. I tend to fear the hype because I often end up disappointed by a book that I would have loved if I had read it with no expectations whatsoever. I'll be reading it though, because I'm very curious about it! I read the first few pages at the store and thought it was interesting enough. .-= Kay´s last blog ..Sunday Salon : Books, Birthday and Read-a-thon =-.
