I only bought it because it was a sort of sequel to The Notebook. The book is horrible, just horrible.

I must admit it was slow at the beginning where I thought it might be a wrong idea for being so excited to read it. By reading it page by page, I started getting into it. The book was beautiful in a really sad way. I didn't get the concept of this imaginary school, where clones are made especially to donate their organs, but the idea grew to me. The book was exciting in the sense of getting under layers and layers of Kathy's memories of her life at that school and of her closest friends, Ruth and Tommy. Beside the sad love story and strange friendship, there was the story about power, authorities and the conflict between fair and unfair, at least it's how I saw it. The book might seem mysterious and weird at first but the process of digging deep into memories with Kathy was worth the read. I must say I wasn't so pleased with the ending but that didn't keep me from tearing up at how beautiful they have accepted their sad destiny.

I was really disappointed with this book, I expected way too much from it. It was fun and just fine, nothing more than that. The story is about a lullaby that kills people, and the main characters are Mr. Streator and Mrs. Boyle investigate about this certain song and try to hunt for the source before anyone else knows about it. The book goes up and down, it's like as if the author is zigzagging throughout the ending. It was so hard to finish it in one week because it gets so thrilling and exciting and then in one point, the fast rhythm just fall down to pointless details that has nothing to do with the plot. I still like Chuck Palahniuk, thou.
