“Scott Westerfeld is quite possibly the most amazing YA author to walk this planet. Not only are his characters real and distinct, but NO ONE else would be able to think of these totally original plots, and that's a good thing. I have NEVER read any books that are remotely like his. Plus, he's just a really great writer with a lot of talent. Peeps was one of his first books I have read and to this day is one of my ultimate favorites. Of my whole book collection. So, yeah. I didn't like...”

“A wannabe thriller which tried too hard to be a good novel and defeated itself in the process. The writing style seemed a bit forced and constantly over-worded. Scott Westerfield's other books lead me to believe this one would live up to them. I was not impressed. I would not recommend this book.”

    “I've heard good things about this book and those reviews are intruiging me. I want to read this book, but my two public libraries in my city don't have it! I'm really bummed, I've wanted to read it all summer. :( I saw it in a bookstore the other day and really wanted to buy it, but I have to put spending limits on myself when I go into those places or I'll go broke. :D Anyways, I also didn't want to buy it and then not like it and have wasted my money. Anybody have any advice or insight?”

    “I don't know whether I like this book or not...I'm still reading it, and it is too different to what I expected of it. His writing style in this isn't as good as So Yesterday.

    I didn't even know that Peeps and The Last Days were in the same series! What's the name of the third book?”

    “I had no idea there where three books... I didn't like the The Last Days as much a Peeps, thought I wonder if the third one will be any good.”
