Rating: 2.75 
 I tried reading this book about 3 or 4 times in the past couple years, and this time, I managed to get through it. As I kept reading, it wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected, but with the hype, it was a disappointment, but that's just me. It was very difficult for me to get into, which is why I didn't give it a high rating. I didn't think that I'd be all for the cyborg stuff, and I was right. Overall, I found the book to be quite predictable. However, I have heard that the next few book are better than the first, so I think it's done enough for me to choose to read the next one.
