So I reserved it at my local library and when the call came in I rushed over to pick it up , full of excitement for that very evening I had the House to myself , a night of relaxing and living an alternate life was ahead of me.
So there I was waiting in the Que , people behind me , members of staff behind the desk busying themselves. When finally it was my turn , yes I explained I have a book reserved I'm really looking forward to reading it! The Liberian indulged me in small talk , whilst checking the system. Confusion spread across her face, oh no! I thought they can't find it , but no, a little louder than necessary she asked "are you sure its the correct book? you do realise its junior fiction???".
No actually i hadn't. I explained its for my book club yes I do want it and I'm so glad I did !
Who cares what age group it was aimed for???
I really enjoyed it and i loved the world it was set in .
Their is however a down side to reading books aged for the teen market ,as some of you may be aware this has now been made into a film. In my minds eye I picture the characters to be older. So having now seen the casting I don't agree with it , for no other reason then that's not what I imagined. I found this to be the case with The Host also. I still can't wait to watch these films but I'm worried I won't like the actors playing the parts ,not because they will do a bad job ,but because I liked the way it played out in my mind I fell in love with the characters I imagined.
Still so glad to have read it!!!
I will continue with the series and I have already ordered the next one!
Due for UK cinema release 23rd August 2013!
Happy Reading Missypie!
