Fallen, by Lauren Kate

Subject: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:26 am

Just finished reading the book. What did you think about it? It was a good book, only.... I believe she copied it from Twilight. Either that, or all forbidden-love-stories follow the same pattern.

But I can't wait for the next book! It's just interesting, even if it's just another teenage book! I love the covers... Like a Star @ heaven

I think all forbidden love stories turn out the same. There are so many of them out right now post twilight.

I fast forwarded through most of it. Thought it would be exciting cause I'd seen it on a lot of best sellers list but it wasn't really.

It's not the best book I've read. But it's good...

Did you read the next book in her series (Torment)?

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:47 pm

I don't think it's out yet... Is it? I think the date is 30th of september...

more like twilight I thought it was like the Immortals series ... "...lovers who find one another, only to lose one another over and over again...."

i liked the book but left so many things un-resolved.. I already have Torment (came out 28 september) but I'm waiting for some reviews first.

Torment hasn't been released over here, so I don't have it yet...... :/

i'm currently reading torment right now and it is really good. well i like it. it has more of that actual teen fighting feel, abandonment, cheating, but the story also makes you thing a lot about daniel. well that as about as far as i have gotten

I didn't like the characters that much... Now that I'm thinking about it, it wasn't one of the best books I've read... It's just another book....

Twilight was enough forbidden love for me.

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:37 am

Haven't found love as well.
But hey, no more forbidden love! It's annoying after some point... I have read twilight, and after it has become such an obsession worldwide, ENOUGH WITH FORBIDDEN LOVE! It's always the same pattern, nothing original...

i'm tired of it probably because i never read twilight. now that does not interest me

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Sat Dec 18, 2010 8:12 am

Me no likey this book. I found Daniel and Luce to be extreamly annoying. BUT I really really love Cam and Roland.. like Cam is very delicious! Razz

I think I already said it before but the book was so blah I just wanted to put it down.
Its topping best seller lists. Am I missing something?

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Thu Dec 23, 2010 7:07 pm

I don't get it either. I mean Ya Cam is delicious but the over all books lacks in every aspect

I keep telling that and they just won't believe me! My sister's OBSESSED with The Immortals, but it's just like twilight.... Rolling Eyes

Well, I don't think I liked Cam. I didn't quite like any of the characters. I don't know why. Everyone was just the same. I can't explain it. But I'll probably read torment as well. Just to see if there's any improvement.

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Fri Dec 24, 2010 8:14 am

I heard Torment was terrible.. but then again I have no intenentions on reading it as I couldn't even finish Fallen. Though I own Torment (giving it away on my blog - if anyone is interested in a free copy of either fallen or torment just PM me)

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Fri Dec 24, 2010 8:17 am

I read the summary on the back cover and it didn't sound interesting... SO i guess I won't be reading it, unless my friend buys it. It's pretty expensive for an english book, taking into account that all the non-translated books here cost 8 or 9 euros and this one costs 14... Why?

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Fri Dec 24, 2010 8:54 am

Not exactly sure Neutral

but I do live in florida

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Fri Dec 24, 2010 9:13 am

How much do books cost over there?

Okay, they have to be cheaper since you have no translation fees etc... :S Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:47 am

It all depends really some books are 4 bucks while others can be 20

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Sat Dec 25, 2010 9:49 am

Alright, here there's no way you'll find books with 4$, especially since 4$ is about 3 euros.... Laughing

Here he cheapest might be about 7 euros, but only english books, non-translated.

Subject: Re: Fallen, by Lauren Kate Sat Dec 25, 2010 11:47 am

well the 4 dollar books are usually on bargain lol

Same here. I couldn't get into Fallen at all. Fast forwarded through most of it.
I can't believe its a best seller. At my nearest bookstore its been a top 10 ten seller for months. No plans to read Torment. According to wiki theres going to be more crap and possibily a movie. Aahhh
