Pretty fun.<br /><br />So far the audio is marginally better, but Insurgent feels like the same logicless mess with action to distract the reader from how awful it is. *coughs*<br /><br />I'm hoping it's more Every Day and less Invisibility.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-39631111509221824772013-07-21T16:43:13.266-04:002013-07-21T16:43:13.266-04:00PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-75493042303723883042013-07-21T14:59:58.450-04:002013-07-21T14:59:58.450-04:00Ooh...

Or various related states.It's funny, I read Divergent and did enjoy it somewhat but wasn't so completely blown away like many... but I haven't read Insurgent and haven't really had any desire to do so. I've heard that it has a bit of 'middle-book-syndrome' too. I thought that maybe once the third book comes out and I can 'finish' the story then I'll want to pick up book 2... yeah so I'm done rambling.

I actually ended up enjoying Divergent quite a bit, though Insurgent was a different story. Maybe the audio will be better? I haven't heard much about Two Boys Kissing, but I hope it's good, because it's DAVID LEVITHAN. I'm not his biggest fan, but I did enjoy Every Day, so I have high hopes for him. <br /><br />You're probably getting tired of hearing this, but: playlists as swag! Sweet!
