What's interesting is reading this book at 33, feeling not nearly as intelligent or gifted as I did growing up, I could connect with the characters. While Colin is 17/18 in this book, he's going through the same questions as I am/have. The last chapter is really where it all comes together for me. I will read it again along with the appendix because there's a lot of meaning in it, more than can be absorbed in a quick read.

This is my first John Green book. I enjoyed the writing style and will definitely read more in the future. I recommend this book for anyone undergoing an identity crisis to resolve who they were or thought they were with who they are.

I really enjoyed this book - my only complaint, which I have seen in many reviews - was that the tenses jump so often it's hard to keep track. I honestly read without reading the chapter headings so it went smooth enough for me - toward the end though I did get more confused - when everything converged - to an unexpected ending (for me anyway) which I liked a lot - I think some of the bulk could have been taken out - just having flashbacks within the book - but it made you really connect to Monday and the rest which in the end I think was an important part of the book. I can't wait to read her other book(s) because I enjoyed it a lot.

This book is an introduction to this marvellous character. I admire her power and amazingly kind heart. When I was reading the book I actually felt like I was in Africa, following the character through her journey. Author made every page breath of African spirit. It is very interesting to watch Monroe interact with other characters. The book is intriguing and fast paced, in every chapter there is something happening, it is hard to put it down. There are a lot of twists and turns. It is really easy and interesting to read it. I loved the ending, its well thought through and unexpected. I recommend everyone to give it a go on this great book if you love suspense and adventures.

Since the first time I took S.J. Bolton’s book in my hand I cannot stop admiring her. Read all of her books and gladly continue doing so. They mesmerise me.It is extremely intriguing from the first pages of the book. The way it is written never gets you bored. I loved the different approach to telling the story via letters and news paper articles. It is perfectly blended together with the story of the book. The best thing about this book is that it is easy to read because chapters are short. The characters are very charismatic and interesting personalities. The story has great twists in it. Once you start reading it captivates you because every chapter invites you to find out “what next?”.

I was given this as a free e-book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Right, first off, let me say as I always say when I rate a book 3 stars, that a 3 star review is NOT a bad thing! In fact, I'd recommend this book.

Okay, I had trouble getting into this book. I found it a bit too slow paced for my liking.

However, a little over half way through the book, I really started getting into it! It became super interesting!! I loved the whole volleyball game chapter. That one was probably my favourite!! I also liked the use of Latin phrases throughout the book.

The ending was really good as well. It was definitely a plot twist that I didn't see coming at all!!

I also want to mention that their were a few images in this book which I really enjoyed. They brought a little bit extra to the book, and I thought they were drawn really well. =)

This would make a great holiday/summer read =)

Definitely recommended!
  
This is my first time reading a book by Jennifer Pierce and I really enjoyed the way she wove her suspenseful story! I was hooked from the very first chapter by the plight of the main character, I mean imagine being on the run at eight months pregnant! The characters were well done, easy to get to know, and both had good character depth for the length of the story. I thought it was a very well written book with interesting twists and turns that kept my interest easily.

It is the second book in a series, but I read it without reading the first book and wasn’t lost at all, but I am going to go back and read the first book since I liked this one so much.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the great mystery/suspense, for the character's interactions, and for leaving me anticipating the next book!
