Very enchanting! And the discussion revolved around the moral implications of the heroine. Overall it was a fun read for our group.

Everyone mostly enjoyed the book, easy to read and found story line entertaining. Some comment on how every man in the book was an absolute horror. Most found Meg character more believable and even likeable than Kat who most found annoying. Not a memorable book. Those who had read early on had had to re-acquaint themselves before our get together.

Forgettable was the word used most when we discussed the book. A light read.

A real page turner that almost the whole group enjoyed. Some found the characters too black and white, but enjoyed thinking about the lack of justice for many people. It led to interesting discussion.

A quick and enjoyable easy read. A bit tough on men... We liked the way the relationships developed between Kat and Meg.
