"I’ve read this book several times and it is the perfect Summer read for me, especially for a “Quarantine Summer.” I try to read a chapter a day, because I find it helps me keep everything in perspective as the world is struggling right now. It helps me find the silver lining and gratitude on even the most difficult of days."

I read this back in high school, but I really enjoyed it. Not sure how well it holds up now, but I do think it's an important topic to talk about.

READ. THIS. NOW.
Wow. I read a lot of books and very few have the ability to stick around and make me think about it for days on end. Vicious is that book. Being able to love and hate both Eli and Victor simultaneously is a task that only VE Schwab could accomplish. The plot was so fast paced that I genuinely couldn't put the book down. READ IT NOW!

I Loved this book!!! It was such a great story and a different perspective on Sirens. I liked this take on Sirens - it was refreshingly new and different from most Siren or Mermaid stories I’ve read.

It was an emotional story but it was a good happy ending and it was like a breath of fresh air. It was the perfect story that I needed to read 😁.

I would definitely recommend others to read this! Go check it out now!

"It explains human behavior and why we are the way we are in human civilization from soup to nuts. And I’ve read it now a couple of times. It’s a pretty astonishing book."

"Michael bought this for me last year and I’d never read a book like it before. Since then I’ve discovered stuff like John Fante, Knut Hamsun… I read a lot more now I’ve discovered this style of writing.”"

I read this novel long ago and I didn't not appreciate it then as I would now. The ending is not what I thought it would be and Deaver did such a great job at not giving it away.

I have read this so many times now but have no regrets. It just seems better every time. I love how much more detail the books have and how different it is go the film!

This.Was.AMAZING. So many "holy shit!" moments it was unreal. What a great ride. One of the best books I've read in months. And now I'm sad it's over.
