Yeah, it's not really the same Bellarke to me, though. I need way more build up.

I actually am really enjoying the plot, and there have been some things happen that I didn't see coming. I feel like Clarke is really lackluster as a character, I have no major attachment to Wells, Glass is okay, and Bellamy is probably the character with the most distinct personality.

I think out of everyone, Bellamy is the closest to showBellamy. But what I did notice is that the storylines are pretty similar. I feel like Glass/Luke are the book's version of Raven/Finn, of course with minor differences. Wells is very reminiscent to showOctavia. Octavia's feels very showClarke. Clarke book wise may be the most different. And I seriously hate that Wells/Bellamy aren't on the show. I ask for one thing!

I put some in spoiler tags in case, April. I don't want to spoil you just in case.

I'm onto the third one now, and I'm speeding through, so I'm good.

There are definitely similarities, though. I'm really glad they kept Bellamy's protectiveness of Octavia. Really glad.

The books are a super quick read. I should've known you were flying through.

I just love the last part with BC. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

April7739

Yeah, they are definitely a quick read.

Apparently my school's library has them, and the librarian told me today, "My god, you must be doing something to these students. Everyone wants to read them. I have a waiting list."

Omg! You'll have your whole class reading them by semester's end.

Amazon says they're for grades 9 and up. But I think 7th and 8th graders can handle them.

loppabelle

I would've read in like 5th, no joke. I was like two reading levels above my grade the entire time that I was in school.

April7739

Yeah, I always read above grade level, too.

And in 7th grade I started reading smut, which . . . explains a lot.

loppabelle

Dang April. I don't think I got to smut until I was like 19. I really just didn't run into any and that was when I got into fanfiction.

April7739

The first fanfic I read was R-rated, so . . . I dove in fast and young.

*whispers* I love these books;

Mel, did you read the books first or watch the show first?
