Hopefully I can fit it in soon. The second book was never on my radar. I have to admit the description caught my attention but the negatives you mention sound like things I would have an issue with as well.

Control is definitely out of the question for me because I need the dystopians I read these days to be very original to stand out out of the crowd, but All Our Yesterdays sounds super intriguing! I do love time travel, but I wonder if I would have a problem with the plot holes... But everything else sounds great to me! I hope I can get to it soon! Very helpful reviews, thank you!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-53886935540687437242014-03-11T22:06:04.155-05:002014-03-11T22:06:04.155-05:00All Our Yesterdays has never been explained quite ...All Our Yesterdays has never been explained quite so well to me before. I had no idea it was a time travel book. I am definitely interested in that one. The cover never appealed to me previously. But now....definitely want to read it!!<br />I'll leave the other one off my list. Life is too short to add mediocre books to my reading lists!!

LOL All Our Yesterdays does sound good, but I may wait for book 2 because of that ending. <br /><br />Oh and I wasn't a fan of the Uglies (loved the premise, but not the execution) but I would pick it up in the same manner as you with that promise. Sad that it didn't live up to the hype. Don't think that one would be for me either.Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-7646486609047193452014-03-11T13:44:19.590-05:002014-03-11T13:44:19.590-05:00All Our Yesterdays is on my TBR as I love a good t...All Our Yesterdays is on my TBR as I love a good time travel book, I am waiting though as I don't want to get slapped in the face with a killer cliffhanger, glad there is another book on the way, the second book with underdeveloped characters would not be a good fit for me either.

I really wish publishers wouldn't compare books to each other because my expectations just go up and the book inevitably fails living up to that standard.<br /><br />Although I probably won't read the sequel, I liked All Our Yesterdays. The time traveling aspect was full of holes but I got sucked in by the action.

I'm a fan of time travel books in general, but I thought this one was particularly well done with Em and Marina. Like you, I was surprised at just how different they were and how much Em had changed. And James. I was just fascinated by all the questions surrounding him. Can't wait for book 2!<br /><br />And I think I'll take a pass on control even thought that cover is really eye catching:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-84830536269796162932014-03-11T09:30:21.223-05:002014-03-11T09:30:21.223-05:00I also enjoyed All Our Yesterdays.I liked the crea...I also enjoyed All Our Yesterdays.I liked the creativity of using the same character with a different name, and yes, it took me a bit to catch on too.
