I'm not connecting with the story the same way I did the first time through but I think it might partially be the audiobook narrator. I'm going to try just reading the second half of book two to see if it can draw me back in.

I haven't even read book 2 yet!<br />Nor did I see the movie, which I heard went farther than book 1, but not all the way through Book 2 - an odd choice, and also one which many viewers didn't like much. Other changes from the source material were also called out as problematic by loyal readers. (Of course I'm still totally going to watch it.)<br /><br />Can't wait to catch up w/ books 2 AND 3.

I would definitely recommend this series for young adult readers - especially great for boys who love fantasy and adventure. I have recommended to my book club of "seniors," and we hope to watch the movie. Have you seen it yet? Does it only include the first book, or did they try to squish all 3 into one movie?Mary Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504883854292781643.post-16854204525771575772017-01-27T00:51:26.380-06:002017-01-27T00:51:26.380-06:00I need to put in a hold on Born a Crime.
