I still believe Travis' behaviour was terribly wrong, even if he had a childhood without a mom who told her how to deal with these stuff (that's what I've been told). But I realized I can't put this book at the same level as the After series, for example. And now I'm able to analyze some other things: like the fast and undeep writting that made me nervous the whole time. Anyway, I reread my previous review and I remember the things I don't like so I'll just leave it here, saying that I did like the HSM moment in the cafeteria, to say something nice.
Review in April 28th: This is going to have spoilers all over, even if only my future self is going to read it. Because I wanted to give this a chance. Despite all the things I had read that disgusted me about it, I said, I have to check for myself. And well, right now, I am so so so so so mad MAD MAD MAD. But well I can only blame myself. I knew I was going to cringe at most of the things that happened in the book. What is sad though is that at first i wasn't hating it. At first Travis seemed like a young and violent Barney Stinson, and well, I was already expecting that. Besides, he seemed to be charming and treat his friends right, Abby too. Their friendship started and well, it was good at some points. But well why am I even pretending. I can't even remember the things I liked because right now it's all washed away by how much I hated it since certain point of the book. Since the jealoust started. What the xxxx is wrong with that boy? You make the girl change of clothes so you don't get distracted (DON'T FUCKING LOOK YOU BASTARD JUST MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS OR SUCK IT UP), when you start your "perfect" relationship you beat every guy you find looking at her (but hey, yes, he says abby that she just has to care about what she thinks, but he can do whatever the fuck he wants) (and don't tell me he changes. Because not so far from the ending of the book even when THEY WERE NOT DATING he was scaring away all the boys who approached her. She has a mind you know! And then his best idea is to take her out of the party and FORCE her to go to his appartment to calm and fix things up??.?.?.?..?). I don't even know what I was saying anymore. More things? I'm sure they'll come to me, but now I'm all thinking about the final brochure: the wedding. Aaaaaaaah my god. Really? You hate Vegas. You are 19. You just came back together to your posesive and unhealthy and dependent relationship and you just think it is a good idea? After a fire? I'm really thinking that abby damaged her brain becauase of the fire. I can only save America and Jim from the book. That's it I just can't anymore. I didn't intend to insult anyone, I was going to explode....more

I guess for someone who didn't watch the show or read too many dystopian/futuristic books this series could be okay. BUt I am not ashamed to say that the only reason I bought these books it's because Bellarke is my ultimate forever OTP and I knew they were a real couple in the series so I needed more of them. But what I got of them from these books ended with me literally grabbing a pencil and crossing out paragraphs and whole pages I just couldn't stand I think this makes me kind of childish and crazy but that's how bad I felt after reading how my Bellamy and Clarke got together after like 40 pages in the most typical and stupid way. And how later they fought about whatever nonsense thing I can't already remember and then got back together in a heartbeat and aaaaarrggg! And yes, I know the book is supposed to be about surviving and more stuff than love, but that's the deal you know? The books were 95% focussed on the love triangle and shit than on surviving and character development and you know IMPORTANT THINGS. I honestly think with all my heart that those things would have bothered me incredibly even if I read the books after watching the show, though I know now I can't help but comparing So now that I'm more relaxed and already kicked out of my mind everything that happened in the books, I just have to thank the CW for creating a pretty nice show and the best partership that will be cannon (you know) ever out of these pages I just couldn't get to love....more
