if you have nothing else to read, give it a try. It took me a LOT longer to finish it than twilight\twilightesque books because it's hard to follow at times. And i've gotten that opinion from others as well. But the concept is cool
i like sci fi too..sometimes

I read the first twilight book in about two and a half hours.
It wasn't a very hard read but I'm amazed I finished it.
If it wasn't for the fact that I'd promised to I probably would have tossed it.
I almost didn't make it.

Re: What Are You Reading?
my cousin read twilight for a book report and told me i had to read it. so i did. and since i got through it so fast, i went ahead and read the next two books, haha.
i liked eclipse the best. one of my friends didn't like the book either. and i think the movie won't be that great.
also, i heard the host wasn't good so i haven't read it yet.
'Three Cups of Tea' is next, iA.

Re: What Are You Reading?
i just finished the last harry potter book
it was fun to read, but it sort of felt like literary junk food.
good, but i wasnt knocked off my feet like i was hoping to be.
maybe because it took me a year to actually read it

Waiting for my bro to finish my copy of the Watchmen so I can read it again 
I want to eventually collect all of Alan Moore's work, the man is a genius.
