    I loved everything about it.  Especially loved the ending.  Now I am going to have book hangover and nothing will ever be good enough to read now.

    The ending was PERFECT.

    I loved everything about it.  Especially loved the ending.  Now I am going to have book hangover and nothing will ever be good enough to read now.
    The ending was PERFECT.
    I also loved all my conflicting emotions for all the characters.  Love them - hate them - despise them- understand them - empathize with them - want to throw them from a moving vehicle and run them over.  The good - the bad - the bad that was actually good - the good that was actually bad .  My mind was blown and I still don't know what I am feeling.

  • I really really loved the beginning of this book, and teared up in several parts with Melanie and Miss Justineau, but my interest waned a bit once they were away from the original location. However, I agree w/ Booney about seeing all of the different conflicting perspectives throughout the story. I ended up having a soft spot for the colonel even with some of his despicable behavior early on.

  • I'm pretty sure it stands alone. I can't imagine where he could go for a series.

  • As an aside, has anyone read this book and played the video game The Last of Us? My husband played this game over Christmas break, and though clearly they weren't the same story, there were a lot of curious similarities between the game and the world of The Girl with All the Gifts. I wondered if anyone else noticed these too.

  • does anyone know when the "free extended preview" will expire on goodreads?  I'm currently reading 3 books and am trying to prioritize.   I'm enjoying it so far.

    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman

  • I'm reading the first 10 chapters thru goodreads for free.  Just realized the physical book is available at my library, so I'm reserving it and can pick it up after work.  So I solved my own problem.  

    The preview "worked" for me.  I read the first few chapters and am hooked.


  • I'm really going to have to find a way to justify all this book buying after the holidays to DH. I just ordered this, and currently have four on the way.
