I just found some of the things they wanted us to believe too unbelievable. I'll suspend my belief for a bit, but internet service and running water? I had a hard time with this one, but I'll still read the next one, because I thought the author was a superb writer and I want to see if she answers some of my questions.<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-37304007564259558192012-05-09T03:24:30.575-04:002012-05-09T03:24:30.575-04:00I really want to read this.

They were quite a mystery to me, and I felt we knew more about the Followers than we did about them.<br /><br />Mia really was a great heroine. I was so glad that she wasn't one that sat and sulked, but instead took matters into her own hands.

I tend to love and not be offended by books that dive into religious issues/groups, because I'm firm in my own faith, so I was able to really just LOVE ON this cult-ish craziness Jenn Bosworth created with Prophet. He is a crazy little bugger, isn't he? And Mia, what an interesting character. But it was honestly the world-building that did it for me in this one. I felt like I was watching a movie in my head while I was reading, and it was thrilling. I read the entire book in one sitting and wished there was more when it was over. <br /><br />Glad you liked it Jenny! I loved it too! Can't wait to see what else Jenn Bosworth writes for us. ;)Asheley T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03908795522290889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-52854742515329111682012-05-04T17:17:15.711-04:002012-05-04T17:17:15.711-04:00Great!

I haven't seen mention of a sequel anywhere, but then again I haven't looked to hard. Clearly, I'm amazing like that:)<br /><br />Avery - I really liked Mia for being strong and taking action! Granted, she often took action too quickly and didn't always think things through, but it was clear that she wasn't being stupid, she was just willing to do anything and everything to protect her family no matter the cost to herself.<br /><br />Tina - Right? She's kind of a badass:) And I liked that the "electric current" when they touched made sense in this case:)<br /><br />April - I loved the cult aspect as well, I honestly wasn't sure I would. The whole mentality is fascinating I think:)<br /><br />Mary - Exactly! I liked that I didn't quite know what to make of them, but by the end I would have loved just a tiny bit more:)<br /><br />Jasprit - Mia was awesome I though. Definitely flawed, but really strong and caring as well:)<br /><br />Felicia - Haha it usually takes me a little while to get into a dystopian book as well, it's like sitting in the front row of a movie theater - you can see the whole picture at once so you spend a lot of time scanning back and forth trying to take everything in:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-83952469353907922932012-05-03T11:14:08.883-04:002012-05-03T11:14:08.883-04:00Struck sounds like one of the books/series I need ...Struck sounds like one of the books/series I need to keep an eye on.
