I am enjoying this book so far even though the topic is very heavy and sad. Each chapter is told from a different perspective but some of the stories are linked. This book is inventive and interesting.

I’m really enjoying this book. I can follow all the science and I like that there are only a few characters to focus on as the mystery is growing. Who is behind the kidnapping of the scientist? I’ll be finished with this book by tomorrow, so I’ll find out!

I think in this book only a day or two has passed yet I am on page 76. There is a lot of metacognition in this book and it is very cerebral without a lot of circumlocution, so I appreciate that. I like some of the ideas in the book and some of the characters.

I think this is my favorite dystopian thriller for 2019. From page 1 you know something terrible happened, but how? Then, when you read about Snowman’s childhood and teen years, you know this civilization is headed for the can. Things are going to go to hell in a hand basket really fast thanks to scientists playing God. Think Jurassic Park but without the cool score.

What is happening? This book reads like a movie as it travels back and forth between plots, so I have to make sure I keep up.

It’s too late for me to stop reading this even though I dislike the book. I like some of the author’s other work but Rachel is just such an annoying woman who kept getting in her own way. I wanted her to just stop. Stop it, Rachel.

The work she did in Haiti was the only interesting part of the book. I’ll let all of you know how I feel at the end of the book.

I don’t know who did it! Everyone is a suspect and I suspect all of them. This is the first book in a while where I am sitting on the edge of my seat ready to tell the main character to watch out but I don’t know who to watch out for. She does seem to have a dark past and there is more to this story than meets the eye.

This is a Danish scientific mystery thriller. It helps if you have a bit of a science background. I love dinosaurs and remember some of the topics they discussed from science classes in high school and college. So far, I am enjoying it!

I am enjoying all the characters in this book, even Big Barbara. There is one in every family, and I've got two!

I think the Pen Pal is either Josh's father or the man from the movie theater. Hmm...

I am enjoying this book. Cuddy is a likable character and I already want to defend and protect him. I enjoy the character development and the tension that is building- what will happen to the ship? What will happen on the farm?

What is happening?! I don't know and I still don't know how it is going to end. Steve has a cat and where is Petey?

Original. Interesting. Gory and gross sometimes but overall enjoyable and interesting to me psychologically, as it gives an interesting description of experiences associated with PTSD.

I am enjoying this book even at times when I am grossed out or saddened by some of the things that happen in Wavy's life. Kellen seems like her only chance to seem normal or have a normal life after what she has been through as a child.

Enjoying this book... Saw the movie first, so I can tolerate ambivalence more easily, but if I hadn't seen the movie, I'd be really anxious to know what happened to Brian and I'd assume everyone was a suspect.

Oh, Quirke! Emotionally stunted but brilliant. How I enjoy following you on your journey...

Loving this book. It is so interesting and enjoyable... What is Perfection?

My favorite character is Iggy.

I just started this book but I am really enjoying it. It is an interesting premise and the main character is an interesting narrator.

I am enjoying the psychological aspects of the book as well- the question of what to do with your many lives and also the trauma of living through the same banal days over and over again. This book allows the characters to live without a fear of the unknown regarding an afterlife or a fear of death. I am only 36% in, but it is becoming my favorite book!

So I think I know what is happening... Prediction: my preliminary differential diagnosis for Marjorie is MDD or PTSD. Something strange is going on with her father. Merry is a little screwed up, too. I wouldn't be surprised if she plays more of a role in Marjorie's odd behavior.

I am enjoying this book so far. I didn't notice that it was a series, so even though I am reading this out of order, I am thoroughly enjoying it. I've been reading this during my lunch break and I cannot wait to know who the killers are and why they are traveling around the world collecting eyes and brains.

I am really enjoying this book. I can relate to Ethan, Izzy, and Clara. The characters are well-written and complex. I have to know what happened and I am going to keep reading this book through the weekend. I haven't been this interested in a book in a while.

I cannot put this book. Living in a town controlled by surveillance makes it harder to keep secrets. Jasmine and Max are in a lot of trouble...

This book is so intriguing... Where is James? I have three or four theories myself. I cannot wait to find out!

I am enjoying the suspense and find that Cora and Nick had a very dysfunctional relationship.

Really enjoying the suspense so far. The author does not provide too much exposition. The story unfolds in its own time and I already have a few theories about Bitty's past, the murdering family, and the man at the grocery store stalking women. The psychology for the characters is on point for what I know about troubled teens, paranoid schizophrenia, dysfunction, and psychopaths. Very good so far!

I feel so guilty reading this but I am enjoying it. I saw these two on Couples Therapy. They were more mature than the other couples. After I finish this, it's back to classic literature...

This book has turned into a love story. I think the author tried to do too much. Since I am on page 493, I'll be finishing it, but it'll be a slow jog to the finish line, not a sprint.
