What was that even? Definitely not as enjoyable as the first book. It took me two months and a trip with nothing really to do but read to finally make me finish. The only way I can describe this book is that it put me on an interstate from the beginning to the end of the book but instead of taking a straight trip, we had to pull off at every exit, only to get back on again. The story picked up at the end, but then, you got it, went askew.

The diary format of this book makes for a quick and easy read. It also has a bit of interesting historical information and pictures in the back. I really enjoyed reading it and would recommend it, especially for the pre-teen to teen age groups.

I've had this one since I was a teen. Purchased it new back then and I've read it several times. Whenever I get in a reading slump, I pull out one of my books from my Sweet Dreams collection and dive in. This one has just the right amount of teen drama to hook you in.

Great dystopian novel. If I didn't know that the characters would make a return in the third book in this quartet, I would believe that they both died in the end. Still a very interesting book.

As stated previously, this was my 2nd time around with this book. I'm wanting to finally finish the series. I enjoy Harris' twist on vampires and I like Sookie. Bill on the other hand, gets on my nerves. lol

BooksTeasAndBookishThings Yeah, this was not a good start, but they do get better. Until the last few books I was really enjoying the series. Then I just read to see what was going to happen, and I have to say, the very end of the last book was AWFUL in my opinion. Felt rushed and lacked sincerity and plausible emotion. Glad I read the series, but so sad it wasn't what I expected. 8y
mcctrish @BooksTeasAndBookishThings I thoroughly enjoyed my vampire porn, as I called it, but that last book book was a crime. I don't know what went on behind the scenes, but someone along the chain ( writer, editor, publisher) the dropped the ball for the last couple of books and what once was great fun = AWFUL 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @mcctrish I felt the last 3 books were going no where, but the last one for sure was just... Horrific. I couldn't believe she was satisfied with that ending. It is a travesty. And, I am SO glad that True Blood didn't follow that ending. It would have been awful on two fronts. Ugh. 8y

Zypdoda @BooksTeasAndBookishThings @mcctrish well you both have peaked my interest if only to read what a flop the series turns out to be! :) What vamp books do you recommend? 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Last series I read that kept my interest for the most part was a YA one called Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I will say two of the books were kind of unnecessary, but the first 3 and last one were worth it. 8y
mcctrish @Zypdoda another series I liked but with witches instead of vampires ( the main character is a witch and her BFF is a vamp) is The Hollows by Kim Harrison and it ended perfectly 8y
Zypdoda @BooksTeasAndBookishThings @mcctrish thank you both! I have Vampire Academy in my TBR pile so I'll bump it up. I'll have to check into the other series, too. 8y

I've been listening to some audiobooks of books that I've already read, in two series that I haven't finished (Sookie)/fallen behind in (Stephanie) and it occurs to me this time around with Dead Until Dark that I really don't like Bill.

Rated so-so because of the Liz/Jasper relationship. I just can't see the character of Liz letting it go that long or far. When she crawled into the same bed with him that he shared with his wife, crumpled sheets and all, that was my "No way!" moment.

Wish I had the sequel right now! Even though this book reminds me of other books I've read, it was still original enough to keep me reading. A bit predictable in parts, character development lacking at times, and details missing that would have added to the flow, regardless I enjoyed it.

Made me laugh and cry. Made me very angry at times (a loser character). Got a little confusing changing character perspective with each chapter especially if you have to stop reading mid chapter like I do - a lot. (Life) But overall, enjoyable.

I've read this one several times over the years and have enjoyed it every time. Does anyone have another Johansen recommendation? I read the others in this series years ago but never had the desire to re-read them like this one.

A couple of nights ago, in honor of the 35th anniversary of Raiders, we watched the movie but this time made sure to find one of the Star Wars easter eggs. Watching Temple of Doom tonight. Really getting in the way of my reading time, but worth it!

Well-ReadNeck This is awesome!!! 8y
Zypdoda It really is! I was so excited that I managed to pause the movie at just the right spot to get a picture. lol I've got the egg from Temple of Doom. I'll probably post it later. @Well-ReadNeck 8y
