I think it came out in England under The Revealers, as I have that on my list already.Bibliovorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642058689885973447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-61401192351981548852010-02-10T22:48:47.337+01:002010-02-10T22:48:47.337+01:00Sounds like an interesting premise but I can see w...Sounds like an interesting premise but I can see why you had problems.

I will be interested in hearing what you think of the third book, but I don't think I will be itching to add these to my collection. Maybe I will just grab them from the library.

A...no,no,no this book was awesome and you suck. ;)<br /><br />All joking aside, I actually loved this book. I never wrote a review for it though because I had a hard time explaining why I liked it so much. I just did. I'm tempted to ask you to cross post this on the dystopian blog. It is nice to have a different opinion. :D<br /><br />P.S. gonna send Birthmarked. I got so bored that I couldn't finish the ending, so the deal is you have to tell me what happens. ok? lolMySharonAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108439112946490897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-32501533046251336682010-02-08T15:06:18.586+01:002010-02-08T15:06:18.586+01:00Oh, I've read so many glowing reviews for both...Oh, I've read so many glowing reviews for both books that I'm quite surprised to see you weren't really blown away by either.
