Please discuss the book here :)

I've just started this book and what struck me first was how much it reminds me of I Am Legend. I'm enjoying the style of writing and can't wait to read more.

I read the book a few months ago. I have to admit that I was confused by the writing style of going back in time to explain something. But after a few times, I finally learned to expect it and it wasn't as hard to follow along from that point.

I find the reflective aspect very logical. In Cassie's situation I think most people would dwell on the past, trying to make sense of it all and cling on to any kind of hope. I'm really enjoying this book so far....

The perspectives and the jumping back and forth confused me too at first but as you've both said it does start to flow after a while. I really liked all of the backstory =)

I've just finished the book and really enjoyed it. I loved the writing style and the way the book was laid out, swapping from each character and back again. It's not often that I find myself truly caring about characters in a book but I immediately did with this one and can't wait to read the sequel. It's a definite 5 star rating from me :)

I did really care about the characters (especially Sammy) but I think character wise, Cassie seemed a little naive in a lot of cases so that distanced me from her but I really liked the other characters =)

I loved the book and can't wait for the next one. The story sort of reminds of the TV show "V" (the original one in 1983) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(1983_...

I loved the show. But, yes it freaked me out, too!
