I know. I'm shocked too. 
 EVERYONE L-O-V-E-S this book! But...it just wasn't for me? 
 The first chapters were so confusing, I couldn't tell which guy was who and I couldn't form a picture of them in my head, which didn't make it easier. Also the nicknames that Blue had for them made me very confused as to whom she was referring. Half of the time I also had no idea what was going on. I had to keep going back to read paragraphs again to figure out what I had just read. And honestly, during the first 180 pages I was bored out of my mind. It felt like nothing was happening. The Ravenboys were on this search that still felt unexplained to me. Blue was figuring out whether to kiss a guy or not. Sorry if this sounds harsh but this is really what I felt like reading. Around 200 pages I just started scanning the remainder of the book. I think it just got interesting at that point and stuff started happening. But it was too late, by that time I couldn't care less. 
 I was really disappointed in this one. I read The Scorpio Races by Stiefvater last year and I loved that one. After reading the reviews for the Raven Boys and reading how excellent it was and how it has a creepy vibe and amazing characters.. I expected nothing less than to love it. 
 I'm happy that I borrowed this one from the library. I was planning on buying it, since everyone loves it. But because I saw my library had a copy I decided to just lend it. At least now I know that this series isn't for me.
