Though the way you describe how original this book is fascinates me. I guess is not really too bad after all!

But I think I am the only one who thinks this. I had similar issues about the teminology used in this story. It was annoying.

I ...I rilly think I will be avoiding this one. LOL<br /><br />I haven't read reviews for Bumped in a while, but I do remember the reviews I have read had much the same complains that you pointed out, Z. <br /><br />You made a very good point. Patriotic duty or not, their 'world' has to continue, right? Even if they are only teens, if they didn't have babies, human kind would dissolve so how is there a way around this? <br /><br />Very thought provoking concept, indeed, but my curiosity for this book has been satisfied by reading reviews.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-8544015173379907052011-06-20T18:18:38.050-04:002011-06-20T18:18:38.050-04:00Very nice review.

I'm afraid I won't like (or understand!) the vocabulary. <br /><br />I do like the premise but from the way you described this, it seems as if Harmony's character screams annoying.Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-52065438830420684532011-06-19T18:23:40.533-04:002011-06-19T18:23:40.533-04:00I really like the concept behind this one but it&#...I really like the concept behind this one but it's a shame that you didn't enjoy both of the twins.

I had much the same reaction to this one, I definitely had a little trouble with parts of it, but it was one I couldn't quite stop thinking about after I finished reading. That certainly counts for something! I'll be picking up book 2 to see what's in store for Melody:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-86776027731694616832011-06-19T14:55:48.978-04:002011-06-19T14:55:48.978-04:00I saw alot of reviews of Bumped on other blogs but...I saw alot of reviews of Bumped on other blogs but never took the time to read a review. I'm glad I read your's. The story of Bumped sounds interesting and is very thought provoking. As you mentioned in your review termoninally was used that was had to understand which would put me of a little. However I think I'm going add it to my TRL. Thanks for the review!Reading Away The Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897729866956397050noreply@blogger.com
