I loved the dog, too - that scene broke my heart. <br /><br />I think we've all encountered those books at one time or another that everyone else seems to love except us. :-)<br /><br />Even though I loved this series, I think I'm a little burnt out on YA dystopia for the time being. I had a copy of The Forest of Hands and Teeth out from the library but ended up returning it unread. Maybe later this year after I've read some other stuff for awhile.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573647475203643004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-22418762180411919472011-02-24T18:44:12.777-06:002011-02-24T18:44:12.777-06:00I wish mine was a library copy!

And, then I hated it . . . so maybe I should just go ahead and swap it away or donate it to my yucky old library. They could use a copy.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-17204663565238790112011-02-24T14:30:38.852-06:002011-02-24T14:30:38.852-06:00Bookfool -- I'm glad mine was a library copy!Bookfool -- I'm glad mine was a library copy!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-76565366176842335472011-02-24T12:54:21.020-06:002011-02-24T12:54:21.020-06:00I've still got this one on my shelf, even thou...I've still got this one on my shelf, even though I found it so annoying that I doubt I'll ever give it another go.
