I don't think I was in the right mood the first time I tried to read this but I am so glad I decided to try again. I've read a lot of conflicting reviews and honestly all I can say is try it for yourself and see. It does seem slow at the beginning but after a bit I truly enjoyed reading about Simon bumbling around like an idiot half the time. And what really sold this whole story for me was Binabik. Hands down one of the best characters I have had the pleasure to get to know. I want him to be my best friend.

Seriously one of the best books I have ever read. I will say I often flip between audio and reading so I can listen on my drive to and from work, on this one however I do not recommend the audio version. I opted to just listen to a podcast on my drives as I could seriously not get into the audio at all, it is god awful. Do yourself a favor.. read it.

I do not understand the hype around this book. I was bored to tears.

I know a lot of people do not like Lift much and I will admit I was on the fence about her but after reading this I am quite fond of her. It is a good quick read.

Never read when I was younger and needed something simple and easy as a break after a May readathon with my book club and it was surprisingly pretty good. I can see what all the hype was about and my inner teenage girl really enjoyed it. Only downfall was I have seen the movies so I kept picturing the actors and that is always a bit of a drag for me.
