Well, we never heard from Jyoti or Brad so Sandra and I are making the decision on this one.
Vanessa: This one was actually pretty easy for me. I read More Than This and although I spent the first part of the book thinking “wtf?”, I really liked how it played out. It was a nice combination of weird and a little scary. I’m still trying to figure out who (spolier alert) the helmet-head who kept hunting them was. 13 Hangman had a cover I had trouble getting past. I am not a baseball fan so I had to force myself to pick it up. In the end, I enjoyed it and there was a lot less baseball than promised on the cover....but I thought it was a little light. The historical connections were interesting but never really dug deep enough to be interesting. And the story itself never once made me say “wtf” (which I enjoy in a book). So...I vote for More Than This. Convince me otherwise....
Sandy: I, too, vote for More Than This to move on to the next round. Even though I enjoyed 13 Hangman, I did not feel it had the same level of complexity or intrigue of More Than This. Patrick Ness is consistently so good!
Smack away friends...
