I love Krakauer’s writing style, the perfect mix of story, personal experience, and random details that lead you into each chapter.

I can't yet tell if Chris is a genius or an idiot.

Jack's starting to go a bit crazy.

Daniel is seriously screwed up.

Diego's TOTALLY crushing on Kate. How in the world does she not notice!??

“And cooking … that says to me that you like to try new things. You like to experiment and you have an adventurous side.”

That's funny, I love cooking, but I most certainly don't have an adventurous side. Maybe it's just my love for food.

I'm just not feeling this one so far.. I think it's that the characters are all so shallow. Hopefully it'll pick up soon.

I don't know about this one. So far, it seems a little forced.

“Every time there’s a terrorist attack, everybody starts screaming for border closings and tighter security at airports. Does anybody ever shrug it off and say, ‘Oh, it’s just extremists being extremists?’ So why do you say, ‘Oh, it’s just boys being boys,’ when you terrorize girls? Because that is what you’re doing. Terrorizing us.”

“This is rape culture—this tendency for good men, the kind of men who say they’re outraged by rape, to repeatedly ignore and maybe even support the behaviors that excuse rape.”

"Why try to do right if people will always look at me and assume wrong?”

Damn.

They better not have just killed off Jason

I agree with Julie here. Cutting potatoes into chunks/cubes is one of the most satisfying things you can do.

"“Poppy, be honest. How many of my emails have you read?” I can’t believe he’s asking that.
“All of them, of course. What did you think?”"

Why are all of the characters in recent books conceited jerks? Is this like a new trend in books, or am I just reading too many happy-go-lucky YA Fictions?

I hate Poppy so much right now, I'm scaring myself.

This book is so chaotic already, my head hurts

Juliet: Oh no, I can't live without Romeo! What am I gonna do?
Friar Lawrence: Ooh, I have an idea. Let's almost kill you, so that you can run away with Romeo, and be happy forever!
Juliet: Sounds like a good idea! Let's do it!
Friar Lawrence: wHaT cOuLd pOsSiBLlY gO wRoNg?!?!

I can't wait to see how this shapes out. Eek!

Eeeeeeee, this is looking good already! Can't wait to find out what happens :0

This book better pick up REAL SOON, or there's gonna be a rant incoming.
