¿Quién demonios es Amanda Valentino? Este libro me ha enganchado pero bien D: ( )

I recently joined Wattpad when it was introduced to me by Brian Kayser, author of The Curse of Europa, and I have to say, as I am only just really getting into eBooks, I didn’t think I’d use it. However, this popped up as a recommended read on the home page, and I have to say, I was instantly intrigued.

I found the writing style in this book amazing, it flowed really well and was never too slow. I managed to finish this in one sitting (which is highly unusual for me)! The plot of the book was interesting and I’m not surprised that the authors decided to make this a series. I really loved the characters and although at times I found the protagonist Callie a bit annoying, I can see that towards the end of the book she started to develop a lot more as a character which made her much more relatable.

Overall, I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars because although I really liked it, the story wasn’t entirely original; I found it similar to the Pretty Little Liars plot idea, and also it reminded me a lot of John Green’s novel Paper Towns. I would definitely recommend this book to readers of any age and am grateful to the authors for releasing it so graciously onto Wattpad for free. ( )

Ok, so I found this book when I went to the library with our book club. Of course I was intrigued by the fact that it was the AMANDA project, but it ended up being more than I could’ve ever hoped for. When Callie meets Hal and Nia, she thinks they are total freaks. (Even if one is a hot freak.) But in the end this all changes, because (one of the many things I liked about the plot) Amanda’s disappearance wasn’t just a coincidence, and she doesn’t just want them to find her, she wants them to find each other. Amanda’s hidden motive was to bring them together to right Callie’s past. Another thing that lends to the amazing story was the dialogue and hat it gives to the characters. Everyone in the book has their distinct dialogue. Hal is the “deep” artsy peace maker. Callie is the complicated one, who makes sure to make her life look perfect on the outside even though it is truly horrible. And Nia is my favorite. She has so many witty comebacks and one liners! I also love how she keeps surprising Callie. She surprises her with her subtle style, her gorgeous parents, and seemingly perfect home life. I guess I like her because she is a lot like me. (: I also like the little twists and turns in the plot, they really get enhanced by Callie’s flashbacks. Overall this book is amazing, and you all should go read it. I am so excited because it is the first of 8 and the next one comes out on June 22 (: Enjoy! ( )

This is book 1 in the Amanda Project series. The second book cam out recently, Signal From Afar. And there will be a 3rd book, Do You See?, published 2011.

Now, at first I couldn't get into this book. At all. But then I finished the bulk of it in just one morning. It's not that it's boring, exactly, but you're waiting for something to happen, and it never does. In the end it just directs you to the website (www.theamandaproject.com) so that YOU can help solve the case. It suppose it is fairly interesting to connect the book to the website, but it is also quite confusing!

I really like the characters, though, and the plot is interesting enough. Therefore it gets 4/5 stars. ( )

This book is about Amanda Valentino. Amanda has gone missing and her friends, Hal, Nia, and Callie are trying to find her. Amanda is somewhere close to be able to give them messages but won't tell her friends where she is. Amanda lied about where she lived so her friends have no idea where to start looking for her. Amanda practically lied about everything to every friend she's ever had. At the end of the book, Amanda's friends still doesn't know where she is. So Hal comes up with the idea of a website about Amanda. When they put up the website, they start to really worry.
This book is really good. Everytime Callie gets a new message from Amanda, I keep thinking that they're going to find Amanda but they're still looking. I didn't like how Amanda lied to her friends and just left them hanging. I can't wait to read the second book of the Amanda Project series. ( )
