Infographic Project Reminder

[kiriska.livejournal.com]

Hey, guys! This is just a quick reminder to everyone (including myself!) that the deadline for the Infographic Project is in a little over a week, on February 26th.

1. There are still a couple of books unclaimed (24, 28, 38, 44, 46). If you hadn't signed up earlier and want to participate, or if you finished early and wanna take on a few more books, please feel free to comment here or there and I'll add you! The claims list in the original topic is up-to-date!

2. The master spreadsheet IS HERE. Some clever folks have been putting in the specific examples as comments on the cell, which is totally cool! Page numbers for examples are not necessary, but if you want to include them, feel free!

Thanks! :)

So I read Gone ...

And I liked it a lot, but (as you've already told me a few months ago) it's no Animorphs. The story is gripping (at times also shocking) and it really is a page-turner but none of the characters is as half as interesting as the characters in Animorphs were. I don't know, maybe that'll change in later books, because as for now I've only read Gone and Hunger.

I don't want to say that none of the characters are interesting, I do like some of them. I like Lana, because she is twisted and for some reason I like Edilio a lot. I know he is a rather boring character but I like the simple fact that he isn't involved in any trouble and that he is so loyal and that he is the one person Sam can always rely on. Diana is interesting too and I like Brianna because she is so brave and so committed in the fight.

And for sure I like the story: A town of children but no parents, I know we had that before, but Grant does it well. He knows how to build up tension and the there is a lot of action but still the story makes the readers think, too.
So maybe I should just stop comparing the two book series for I enjoyed both of them in different ways.
