This was the first book I ever read by Lauren Oliver, and it made me fall immediately head over heels for her writing and writing style. I'm a sucker This was the first book I ever read by Lauren Oliver, and it made me fall immediately head over heels for her writing and writing style. I'm a sucker for dystopian books anyway, but this one really seemed so unique and unlike anything I had ever before experianced. The plot and setting was well developed, and the characters (espescially Lena) just seemed so REAL to me. They weren't perfect, they all had their flaws and insecurities, but that just made them more likable and believable.
Of course this book made me a Lauren Oliver fan for life, but even if I wasn't, I would highly recommend this to anyone! It's a fantastic read and she is a fantastic author!...more

I don't want This is the second installment in the much loved Vampire Academy series. This is just as amazing as the first one, although bittersweet. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that the tone definately gets a lot darker, more emotional; I found myself crying by the end of the book! And of course there is a lot more of the Dmitri/Rose romance that we all know and love! Another great book in this series!...more
