Dnf. I just kind of felt like I was wasting my time. Not terrible, just not worth it.

I did not like this book. The last 5 pages were the best part of the whole book. Nothing happened almost the entire time and there was an inconsistency as to whether she was in track or cross country which I could just not get over. I didn't like the main character all that much, and anger was okay but he was kind of a stalker.

Before reading Teardrop, the only other book by Lauren Kate I'd read was The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove, which was awesome.
Teardrop is set in a fairly standard world, underneath which lies another, much more sinister one. It is also unique, unlike any other Atlantis type book I've ever read, which really makes it stand out from the bunch.
Eureka is one great heroine. We are very similar, and have a lot of the same views, disagreements, and issues with others. Ander is the mysterious guy that I love in a book.
Lauren Kate's Atlantis really is set apart from all others: it's so much better.

The book sounded interesting in the beginning and I had hopes that it's excellence would surpass Fallen; but, alas, my hopes were dashed when the writing fell apart into overused cliches and uninteresting telling, not showing. The writing was not bad--it was very easy to read--it's just that the main plot line did not measure up to what I had in mind when I began. By the end of the book, I was bored and ended up zoning out for most of the climax with no effect, as in I didn't miss much by zoning out. There wasn't a whole lot of emotion where there should have been (though the author did try, I just wasn't feeling it).
This just bugs me: How is it possible to fall in love with someone like Ander? You don't even know his last name and he knows literally everything about you. To me, that sounds like he could love you (since he creepily knows everything about you), but you couldn't love him. That's my take on it, just saying...
I don't plan on reading this series any further. An interesting idea, but poorly approached.

Loved this! Would have read in one go if. I didn't have a newborn. Such a great story, interesting plot and characters. Would make an amazing movie concept!
