I couldn't get over how much I enjoyed that movie! I wanted to see it when it came out in theaters, but wasn't able to, so I caught it on PPV and was thrilled with it.
I also received this book through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I read through it fast and enjoyed it for the most part, though there were logic issues and the ending leaves a lot hanging. Reading my review now, maybe I was a little too positive.
I'm currently reading an ARC of the German edition and I feel exactly the same. The male voice doesn't work for me in the least and there are so many massive plot holes, it's mind-boggleing. Trust me, it doesn't get any better. But I think the target audience (girls between 13 and 16) will totally dig this. And to be honest, if I had read it when I was like 13 or 14 I wouldn't have noticed all those plotholes that are screaming at me from every page.
Reading Valente before that...I can only imagine. I was lucky, my book after "The Girl who..." was Bacigalupi's Windup Girl which is vastly different but the same high quality.
