Excellent read. This story does seem to move a bit slow, but that's to be expected, I guess, since there are so many books in this series.

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I'm surprised by how well Condie writes her characters and how much I came to care about Cassia's and Ky's story. I look forward to reading more of their story.

This was a pretty quick read. Even though I found it quite predictable and there were a few unnecessary storylines, I still enjoyed the book. I would definitely read another book by this author.

The book scared me just as much as the movie did! I enjoyed the book quite a bit and would love to read more books by Blatty.

While I feel badly about what this poor girl endured, I didn't particularly like this book. I just didn't think it was all that well-written and I had a very hard time getting into it.

I've read this book more times than I can count and it still manages to give me nightmares.

I read this when I was probably 10 or 11 and I forgot all about it until now. Cute little book.

These books are good, and I'm flying through them, but it gets annoying how they seem to drag on in spots.

This definitely isn't as good as Palahniuk's earlier books, but all-in-all, not bad.

This is truly one of the most boring books I've ever tried to read. I didn't even finish it. This is definitely one instance where the movie was better than the book.

It feels like the series is starting to slow down in pace. Maybe this is so the author(s) could stretch this out into as many books as possible?

This book started out great, but as it went on, it turned into merely “okay.” One of those books that you finish just to be done with it. I have to say, I think I'll pass on anything else by this author.

The subject matter is disturbing, yes. That's not what put me off of this book though. The author just came across as whiny, annoying and way too dramatic. I don't care for her writing at all.

Not one of the best V.C. Andrews book. The first book in this series was wonderful, but by the time I reached this one, I was just glad to see this series end.

I didn't finish it. I watched the movie & it was just as disappointing as what I imagine the book would've been.

I read this book in several hours. It was amazing. While some parts were hard to read (like the part where Jonas's father releases the twin & when his father talks about how Gabriel will be released the next morning), the book is still well worth reading.

I really liked this book, even though I wasn't crazy about how it ended. It's definitely one I could read, and enjoy, again.
