Wow. That's all I could think at first. Wow.
This book surprised me. Multiple times. When I thought I knew what was gonna happen, something entirely different happened. The story is anything but predictable, and that's so amazing. I did not expect anything that happened in this book.
It already started interesting, after only having read less than 10 pages I was already really interested in this book. And the interest did not go away.
The world in this book... wow. I hope that one day I'll be creative enough to build one like this author did. While somethings were a little confusing, it was still amazing to read about. It's a fascinating world.
I can't wait until I can read the next book in the series!

Wow! For such a short book, 169 pages, a lot happens. I could not put this book away, and I definitely didn't see the plot twist and ending coming.
This book has an asexual main character and a transgender main character. I'm not transgender, and questioning my sexuality (might be ace, might be something else), but I felt like the representation was good written. I was happy to finally read a book with an ace main character!
The plot was really interesting. I didn't expect what happened to happen. And while I was a little confused about all the different worlds, so was the main character. And it didn't make it any less fun to read.
I read this all in one day. Only a few hours. The only breaks I took was to eat or answer a text. And I can't wait until I read the next book! I would definitely recommend this book!
I haven't read a lot of novellas, one or two Dutch ones for school, but I really enjoyed it! I'm not a fan of big books, yet I still read them. And while I think big books look amazing, they also scare me a little. Because it feels like it never ends. But a novella... it feels so much better. You can read so much more stories... I don't know if that makes sense. But I'll definitely look for more novellas in the future.

Hmm. Ok. So, at first I wanted to DNF it, I had already written a review and gave it 2 stars, but I changed my mind and continued reading.
And as you can see, I changes the rating. Not much, only 1 star more, because at some point I actually enjoyed it.
But the first part, 30 or 40% of the book, I was bored. I didn't find the characters or the storylines interesting.
Even though one character is a lot like me: overweight, autistic, has anxiety, a fangirl, loves reading books.
But at some point I started to care more. It's still not one of my favorite books, and a little disappointing, but I wouldn't say it's a waste of time, and I don't regret reading it.

Glee: The Official William McKinley High School Yearbook
The Creators of Glee, Debra Mostow Zakarin
It's been awhile since I first got it and read it. But I do remember what my opinion was. I just never put it on goodreads because I forgot about it.
As a Glee fan, it's fun to have this book. I like looking at it in my bookshelves. But I have to say that it was a little disappointing. I expected a little more.
It is not a book like other books, it isn't a story or anything, so I'm not sure how to rate it. You just look at the pages, it's mostly pictures with some text added. It's supposed to be a yearbook. I feel like 3 stars is the best rating, for me. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. But I definitely don't regret buying it, and I like to look at a few pages sometimes.

Ooooh, I loved this!!!! I could not stop reading this, it's like I became obsessed and taking a break from reading was impossible. Sadly I had to take a few because of sleep.
I watched the movie before reading the book. I usually try to avoid that, but the story seemed so interesting and I couldn't wait - I didn't have the books yet.
I barely finished the movie when I ordered the books. I HAD to read them. Because I needed more. And to know what happens next. And I want to read the other books before watching the other movies.
Even though I already watched the movie, I was still very curious and excited while reading this book. Usually when I watched a movie and know what happens, the book version feels slow and/or boring. This was not the case.
I can't wait until I read the next book.
My favorite character was Four/Tobias (I'm still getting used to call him Tobias instead of Four, I like the name Four, it's unique/original.) I absolutely loved him. Though I'm not sure if I would love him as much as I do if I hadn't watched the movie before reading, he was a little different in the book.

I knew she was going to die. I saw a spoiler about it when I started reading the first book. Yet I was still shocked.
She actually died. Tris. The main character. She died.
I can't wrap my head around that. I really hoped that the spoiler was false and that she didn't die, but she did.
I enjoyed this book, not as much as the first two, but I still couldn't put it down. (Well, at some point I took a break from reading because I was sick, and my excitement for this book made my stomach hurt even more.)
I don't really know what to say. Tobias is still my favorite, even though there were moments where I was annoyed by him.
The ending was good. Satisfying. The problems were solved. The only thing missing was a happy ending for Tris and Tobias. I really wanted them to live a happily ever after life together.
The ending did feel a little rushed though. Other parts of the plot did too.

I do not really see the purpose of why this is turned into a book? This could've easily be added in either one of the other books, or published only online.
This contains a small interview with the other, who explains some things, yet the questions I had hoped would be talked about weren't mentioned. There is a quiz, about which faction you would belong to, the faction manifesto of each faction and some quotes of the next book.
And while I didn't hate or dislike it or anything, I'm just not sure why exactly it is turned into a book. There wasn't really anything that caught my attention.

Wow. I really don't know what to say. That ending! I didn't expect that!
I have so many feelings about this book. I was OBSESSED and couldn't put it down, to a point that I was so invested that I was just as nervous as the main character was. My heart was beating so loudly.
I love this universe. I love the plotlines. Wow. That's all I can say. Wow.

I was kinda disappointed in this book. When I saw I could read it for my English exams, I got very excited. I have heard of this book being a classic, and found it very interesting. But after a few pages I already knew I didn't like it. There were only 3 characters that I liked, Piggy, Ralph and Simon, and 2 of them died. There was a lot of detail when Jack and his hunters were hunting pigs. Too much details for me. For most the book I was annoyed by the characters, and only in the end I got curious how the story would end, but I didn't like the ending either. I would've liked more detail about the group being rescued. How Jack would've reacted to seeing Ralph and the soldier. How the trip back home would be like, and if their parents were still alive. Stuff like that.
The only reason I continued reading was because I normally love Becky's writing. But I was disappointed by this book. Everyone I know who has read this book loved it, so I had high expectations.
But I didn't love it at all. Bare with me, but I'm going to rant. I guess I only rant when I dislike a book.
I didn't like any of the characters. Wait, that's not true, the moms and Reid were cool, but besides them I didn't like any of the characters.
I expected to love Molly. I mean, an overweight, insecure with anxiety who has never been in a relationship before? That's me! (Not counting the 'relationship' when I was 9, which was just saying we were together but never actually talking to each other)
I wasn't a big of the fact that Molly was insecure UNTIL she got a boyfriend. I know the author didn't mean it in a bad way, but I'm just tired of stories where the fat girls only starts liking herself when she got a relationship. You don't need a relationship to like yourself!
Also, the whole 'wanting/needing a boyfriend' storyline annoyed me a lot. You're 17, so? Why do you NEED a boyfriend when you're 17? Wow, big shocker, you've never been kissed before. You're not alone. So many people are in that situation at 17. So many people are in that situation when they're older. I especially hated how others pressured Molly to 'put herself out there' and have a relationship with Will.
Also, talking about Will, what exactly was his purpose? In the summary he is introduced as a love interest, but he is only mentioned a few times in the book? Well, not counting the countless times Cassie is almost forcing Molly to start a relationship with him or talking about how Molly has a crush on Will (also, in front of Will? I am so glad Cassie isn't my sister, I don't think I've ever hated a characters so much that isn't a villain). And after he rejects Molly, he is also never seen again.
I've seen people talk about how they loved Molly and Cassie's friendship. And I'm like... have we read the same book? Cassie treated Molly terrible? She constantly pressured Molly to start a relationship, kept abandoning her to hang out with her girlfriend (ok, I get it that you want to be with your girlfriend, but can't you see how you're treating your sister?) And then later tells Molly she didn't give her enough credit because she invited Molly to be a third wheel on their dates? Yikes.
Alright, how about some positivity?
This book has a lot of representation. Even though they're side characters with no development, they are there, I guess. (Though I agree that just being there isn't really enough.)
I really liked Reid, I thought he was funny and cute.
I loved that the moms got married in the end, it was an amazing ending! Also when they went to the white house and it was colored in rainbow colors in the beginning of the book made me so happy!
Even though I don't like the 'insecure until in a relationship' trope, I loved that the main character was overweight, and it really showed some struggles that I also struggle with. It felt good to relate to a main character about these struggles.
I don't know what else to write. I'm sad that I didn't like this, I was really excited to read this. I think I already said that.
