After reading some of the reviews, I have a different take. First of all, I saw the movie before I read the book. The movie is horrible, so naturally, I thought, "I need to read this book. It can't be as bad as this movie." 
 Actually, the book is a very different story and in comparison, much better. Luce is still annoying, Daniel is annoying, and Cam is not evil enough (I can't even deal with Penn and what happens to her), but the story is better and makes a little more sense. 
 I'm going to read the series as I got it in a bundle and I'm hoping it gets better.
