It took me a while to get into this book and I wanted to like it more than I did. (I've given it 3 stars at the moment, because I couldnt say I 'really liked it'. Depending on where the story line goes, I may eventually really like it, if that makes sense? If it's the start of something great it'll be better than if it's the start of something...less great XD) 
 I think the main reason it took so long and why i didnt like it much was because it followed the usual pattern. I saw some variation of the ending coming from the start. 
 Though I'm SO glad there was no 'love triangle', but with two more books I may speak too soon.(oh god, I hope not!!!) 
 I will obviously be reading the next two, I want to know how Lena copes in the wild, How she copes without Alex and how she copes in the wild without Alex.(yes, these are 3 different things) Also, obviously, I want to know what happens to Alex and hopefully the ending will be really good! I wont read the second until the third is out however. I dont like leaving things half done....
