It was good, but an extremely slow read for me. It took me about 2 months to get through. I couldn't just pick it up and read it just whenever, I had to be able to have quiet so I could concentrate on it to really get anything from it. But don't get me wrong- it was a very interesting story.

I liked it! It was so much like the tv show. Aside from occasionally feeling like I was reading a cheesy romance novel, it was quite entertaining.

Couldn't even finish it. At first I was very interested but quickly lost it. I think I skipped to the end so I could just find out what happened and get it over with.

I thought this was going to be great like her first, but I really didn't like the main character in this book. She was a part of 'In the Woods' and I liked her in that, but she got on my nerves badly in this one!

I didn't like this book. It didn't feel well written to me, and I didn't like how she finished the the book, it was like she just wanted to get the story over with so she flew through the later part of her life.

Really loved this book. One I thought would be hard to get into but was so interesting I didn't want to put it down. If you like books about war this is a must read in my opinion.

I thought this book was very entertaining! But then I like books that are about drug addictions, etc. Reminded me a little of Bret Easton Ellis.
