    OOOOOOOOOOOH, I can't wait!! My future hubby actually offered to take me to see it opening night, I think that says a lot about him, and what he's willing to put up with in order to make me happy.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Ok so I totally shouldn't brag but I'm sooo flipping excited! I'm a manager at my movie theatre and we have to preview the movies before they are shown to the public to make sure nothing is wrong with them. So more than likely I'll be seeing it on Wednesday night after the theatre is closed and the public is gone. So I'll be one of two in the entire theatre. Woot woot!

    That's a tough call Jenn. I don't have kids but I do know that each kid is different in their maturity level. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with someone under 14 reading BD.

    Is there a high demand for it? If you can't instill a 'under such and such age' policy for the book, I think keeping it off the shelf is a good idea.

    Point kids to their public library for a copy.

    I'll be honest, caseysmom, it wasn't my favorite out of all of them.

    I think a story like this will lose some of the appeal after so many books, its all new and interesting in the first book.

    Ok, so Kimmy read it, and I read it. What did you think Kimmy?? I would have sworn on one of my crappy paychecks that someone else wrote the book. It was not her typical writing. All the terms of endearment from Edward TOTALLY turned me off. He didn't talk like that. I totally went back and reread 1-3 and thought "Ah ha! She had someone else write it!" I doubt it, but it was just so NOT what I was expecting in so many of the chapters.

    I was not elated by this book. I was disappointed. Seriously. I wanted more action toward the end. I wanted that conflict and climax at the appropriate areas, and while I liked her discovering her power, it wanted more out of that, and more out of what happened in the field. I was sorely disappointed with that. That it just ended. HUMPF. One unhappy reader here, lol.

    That's my comment. My disappointment with the ending of the series. I mean, I love Caroline Cooney (the Janie series) and Lois Duncan books, and they never disappoints me (Duncan's daughter was abducted and killed under suspicious circumstances and she really focuses on crimes that happen, and she wrote a book about it called Who Killed My Daughter?

    You pretty much nailed it on the head about why I didn't like it Jenn.

    It totally felt out of place from the rest of the series. I could complain about details, but that would spoil it for those that haven't read it.
