PNR: Mind Games - Let's get this thing started!
Re: PNR: Mind Games - Let's get this thing started!
I think the ending was a little too tidy though. I hope for some more explosions between Packard and Otto in the next book.

I did really like the "squad" and how each person has a major character flaw, but that flaw is helping to "save the world"
I was so excited to finally be able to contribute to the PNR discussion. But no, it is still not to be. I read Mind Games by Kiersten White, not Mind Games by Carolyn Crane. I don't know who Otto and Packard are.
Fail.
Well how was Mind Games by Kiersten White? - I had to double check to make sure I had the right book, there are a lot of books called Mind Games!

Does she get more into some of the other characters like Carter and Helmut? It almost seemed like they could have been interchanged, there were a few times I just blurred their names together to make it one dude.
I listened to it too, and thought the same thing. I was able to grasp how bad the hypochondria and how it would affect someone.
I found her hypochondria to be over the top but that's probably only because I couldn't relate to it, maybe that was realistic. If so, that's sad for people who suffer from that, and I don't understand how anyone could be around someone like that.
The name Cubby irritated me every.single.time. I read it. I am so happy she broke up with him if for no other reason than not reading his name anymore.

Overall thoughts:
At first, I hated Justine. I couldn't relate to the hypochondriac issues, and the book was so focused on it, I thought this was going to be a dud.
But then...we meet Packard, and I fell in love. And then, Justine meets Otto and falls in love with him (WTF???). I don't like him. I don't get it. WHY?! But alas, I digress.
One thing that I appreciated about this book was that (more so than other PNR that I've read), there's a morality issue. Do you feel that disillusionment is morally justified?There's this one part where Jordan, (the therapist) said something to the effect of "When is good not good?" It stuck with me, because I felt like forcing people to turn over a new leaf is sort of wrong.
