I have many conflicting feelings about this book.

There were aspects of it I really enjoyed, as well as aspects of it I ABSOLUTELY HATED. At the same time though, it's hard for me to say whether I liked this book overall or not. It's more of a 2.5/5 star book than a 2/5 or 3/5 star one.

Ana was probably the most naive and angsty character I've ever read of. While it made sense due to her circumstances, that doesn't change the fact that it annoyed the heck out of me.

Also, while I did expect romance going into this, I didn't enjoy the romance, and definitely felt that it overshadowed the plot and the world - which is a shame, considering that I loved the aspects of the world that was introduced to us. There simply wasn't enough of it because of the romance.

I did, however, like that religion played a role in this society, and, after I finished reading it, I could now consider myself to be pretty intrigued - intrigued enough to not completely rule out the possibility of reading the next book.

Conflicting feelings all around. D:

This is definitely not the type of book I would normally read. It was strange, disgusting, and, at times, hard to stomach - but, for whatever reason, I still enjoyed it. Maybe it was the dark and satirical brand of humor. Maybe it was the writing. Maybe it was the nonsense after all. Whatever it was, I liked it, and I do look forward to reading more of Palahniuk's work.

That being said, there was nothing in this book that I found particularly mind-blowing. Also, at times I felt like the plot was just jumping from one place to another. It wasn't perfect, but, by the end, I was still ended up liking it A LOT more than I thought I would.

For the most part, I really liked this book. The world is interesting, the main character is smart and independent, and the supporting characters are interesting as well. However, it was a bit slow for me at times, and I did feel somewhat disconnected from this book while I read it, but those are definitely things that may be attributed to the fact that this is the first book in the series, can improve as the series goes on, so I'm looking forward to continuing this trilogy! :)

This was exactly what I expected it to be. It was fun, with a kind of weird type of humor I can't quite describe but love. It was an entertaining yet completely absurd ride, and I ended up really enjoying myself while reading it.

That being said, it was his first novel, so I didn't expect to be mindblown by it, and I wasn't. At times it was also a bit all over the place. It still had those elements that I loved in the writing and humor in Lamb though, which I did love very much, so I do look forward to reading a lot more of Christopher Moore's work!

I feel like I should have so much to say about this book, but, at the moment, I can't seem to put my feelings into words. I have nothing bad to say about this book, and it's definitely my favorite book of the year so far, HANDS DOWN. Gosh. That was such an intense ride.

I ended up enjoying this so much more than I thought I would. Wow.

It was geeky, it had time-travel, it involved some computer and programming terms and concepts (which, as a computer science major, I appreciated), it had a lot of snarky and funny dialogue, and it was just, overall, a super fun ride.

I remembered liking the movie enough, but, after reading this, wow, they changed so much! The book was so much better and also made so much more sense.

While reading this, I ended up searching for stories about Greek mythology a lot, just to have a better background of the stories, so it really did make the subject matter really interesting. I really enjoyed the characters too. Overall, I really liked it, and look forward to reading the next book super soon!

This was definitely my favorite in the series so far!
