I think the book was actually really interesting because it reminded me a lot about how serious religion was at one point in our history. It ruled the lives of everyone and I think the book showed us just how bad it was in a very engaging and negative way. It was portraying the reality of times like those.

I think that this book is dystopian literature because it reminds me of how religions affect and shape our daily lives in today's society. In the book, it's almost like an extreme version of a religion that affects everyone whether they like it or not.

I think the book was overall really good and the characters had a lot of conflicting motives that built up the plot. The time period also contributed a lot to how things worked out, I actually really enjoyed this book. It was great.

I think the book is interesting and it catches my attention but I find some parts to be a little too predictable and cheesy in a way. Maybe as the book progresses it hopefully becomes more exciting and has more plot twists.

I think Park and Eleanor have two completely different personalities but they somehow manage to be support systems for each other especially when they're going through their hardest and darkest moments. Their personalities are what build up the plot so its vital for the whole story.

Throughout the book, it's obvious that abuse is a very big issue for Eleanor and her mother. She knows that her stepfather is abusing her mother but she's grown so used to it, it's grown to the point where she even finds this to be normal. The abuse shapes Eleanor and her personality.

I find it ironic how different Eleanor and her mother are despite the fact that they're similar in many aspects. Physically, the have very different features. Meanwhile, they both seem to have similar personality traits and think in similar ways.

Park gave off a first impression that he doesn't really say what he's feeling or thinking. He'll rather keep his mouth shut and go with what everyone else is doing instead of opening up and talking about what he thinks as an individual.

I really like the ending because it was a very calm and happy mood compared to the tension that was present earlier in the book. There was a sense of closure for the characters so it gave off a positive vibe.

I think that throughout the whole book, the author wanted the reader to predict what they think will occur next. The characters are mainly very round and dynamic so they each have their own issues and lives rather than being very flat and useless to the plot.

The way the author portrays Deborah I think is helping the reader create inferences by foreshadowing what will happen later on. For instance, dialogue such as "I feel like a fly in a spiders web." Help create this image of Deborah as a victim(fly) being hurt by a stronger opponent.

I think since the beginning, the main characters shows a strong and fierce inner self. She doesn't let anyone push her down and is very stubborn. Considering the fact that she is a news reporter, that can actually come in handy.

I found the ending to be a little predictable honestly. I feel like it kept growing more and more obvious as I read closer to the end. Overall I think that the book was pretty good and the beginning easily got me hooked.

I feel like there isn't as much action occurring as before but the book still manages to catch my attention and get me hooked. I think that's mainly due to the fact that the majority of the characters are round and dynamic rather than flat.

I think the book is great so far except I feel as if there's some parts where the book tends to get a little too predictable which makes it boring. When a book gets too predictable, it takes out a lot of the fun it has or had.

The characters are often compared to each other for instance, a nerd dating a beautiful girl would seem unbelievable and strange to some because of how they physically appear. This might seem like very minor things but I believe it gives the characters a more realistic side. It's common for people in real life to compare themselves to others so it helps the characters seem like actual people with actual problems.

I find this book to be very engaging. I think it's mostly due to the character interaction. There's a lot of dialogue that helps define how the characters are on the inside.

The author started off the book by making sure he reader is aware of how close Sondra and Tracy were. Their strong sister bond helps build Sondras motivation to find out what happened to her younger sister.

I really like reading Shakespeare, I feel that as time goes on it gets easier to understand and decipher what he's trying to get across. I don't like how fast the plot is going by, Romeo and Juliet fall in love right away which seems rather unrealistic

I found the book to be very engaging and amazing. It had the word mystery written all over it, the suspenseful moments were usually the best moments. Overall I really enjoyed reading this book.

I think the book is overall great but has a lot of negative and melancholy characters/conflicts occurring. However I find this interesting because it adds on to the plot and there's more to read about.

Over the past three days of reading this amazing book, I realized there was hardly any inner thinking. Usually a characters thoughts help reveal a lot about them but instead the author includes an abundance of dialogue to help show how the characters interact and what they're like.

I really like how the author stirred empathy multiple times in the book through the use of multiple techniques like dialogue and even adds details, inner thoughts to further accomplish this goal.

I think the author can be predictable at times but overall they have a lot of suspenseful moments that can throw the reader off and get them to infer what else will occur.

The author always has a very serious mood in the book, it creates a sense of tension between the chapters which implies that a climax is approaching because the events are starting to form and buildup.

I really like how the narrator starts off the book by questioning the reader. By asking these type of questions it makes the reader wonder and want to read what's the purpose of these questions.

Over the past few days of reading this book, I found the fact that Jared was mentally unstable to be the most interesting and important part. He thought that Macy and him were meant to meet. That it was his job to abduct her and almost force her to live with him. That really got the plot to become more interesting.

I think that the author is really emphasizing a theme throughout the course of the story which is that the Internet is a very dangerous place. Macy trusting "Jared" led to her being kidnapped. During times where technology has taken over our lives, themes like these are vital especially to younger audiences.

I think the book was almost dystopian literature because it focused on the effect of too much war and low population and how those two issues ended up having millions of women experimented on or killed. Millions of children were brought to this world to be held captive and breeder like animals. It was a very dark plot throughout the beginning to end.
