I thought the writing style was exactly what I needed to help me get out of my reading slump and I thought the plot was simple yet suprising and full of political aspects. I loved Gen and one day hope to be as sassy as he is. The book was pretty good and I thought I had everything figured out but then in the last seventy-five or so pages I was completely blown away. Plot twist after twist and things I didn't see coming but were foreshadowed. I am excited to see how the rest of the series continues and how different political aspects are dealt with in the following books. ...more

I was pretty interested when I first started reading this book, but I didn't love it. But then last hundred-hundred fifty pages or so absolutely slayed me! Everything was so good! I loved this book so much! It was so much different then I thought it would be but everything (for the most part) turned out how I wanted it to. I'm so glad ATATN when it came out so that I can just jump right in to the next book! How am I going to be able to wait for book 3?! I won't be able to, I'm sure... All in all, I was blown away and absolutely understood all the hype surrounding this book. I'm so excited to see where the journey takes us in the next book. ...more

I sped through this book, I stayed up until 1 am (letting myself get freaked out by ghost talk in the pitch black of the night), I neglected all responsibilities for this book. I loved it. The characters were fantastic, the plot was fantastic, everything was fantastic. It was marvelously spooky while still fluffy and cute. I can't wait for the next one (I currently have a giant urge to go reread my favorite scenes...I think I'll go do that). All in all, it was an A+ book and I can't wait to continue on with the rest of the guys and Lexie's adventures.
this is probably my fourth or fifth reread at least? i was obsessed with this series in middle school and never actually finished it but i remember rethis is probably my fourth or fifth reread at least? i was obsessed with this series in middle school and never actually finished it but i remember rereading it multiple times. tonight i was a bit stressed and craving something nostalgic so i just...started reading it again
it's not perfect. it definitely wouldn't be favorite if i read it for the first time now as an adult with a lot more critical reading experience. but the nostalgia and love for these characters i carried over from middle school made this a great time
i'll definitely be continuing on with rereading the rest of the series and finally getting around to the last few books :) ...more
