This was definitely ...I know what you mean Allyson. This was definitely a book of two halves. I tend to give each half a birdie rating in my mind and then average them out for the over all rating - so I thought the start of the book was 3/5 and the end was 4/5 - so finally a 3.5 rating! <br /><br />I am so glad we decided to expand our ratings system to allow for such conundrums!!

I am very conflicted about these kind of books, they were great, with a good plot too, but the pacing was slow and I felt like I shouldn't give a too high review. Then I thought of other books that I rated with lower ratings and I started thinking the book was better than those books and then the cycle starts all over again. Basically, I can't made up my mind with slow-paced books.<br /><br />However, the plot idea was very intriguing. This is one of the few blurbs that can get me excited about a book instead of the cover(it's great too). It definitely sounds a little dystopian and have mystery to it too and let me tell you, I love a good mystery, so I think I'll be checking this book out ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108770251717139870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247299972163313175.post-77805934647900283172012-10-03T02:20:17.600-04:002012-10-03T02:20:17.600-04:00Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments ladies...Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments ladies, we do love a comment or two here in the nest! <br /><br />I think Slated is worth a try, and I can only see the series getting better as the foundation is now built. Could be a great series!

Slow read and room for a follow up book means I won't like it.

Still, this sounds like a pretty interesting concept and I'm so loving dystopian fiction these days so I'll probably still grab it. Great review!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257377749406093296noreply@blogger.com
