I just can't make up my mind, whether I like this book or not. I don't think I do, to be honest- I won't read it again. While it is thought-provoking, it's really only in a Handmaid's Tale kind of way. I couldn't help but see the…

this book is really fun but kind of hard to understand in some parts. Once you catch on it is fun though

I had a hard time getting into the book, but once I did, I couldnt stop reading it. Very interesting, even though it left you guessing at the very end! I want to know how the story continues! :-)

Megan McCafferty’s “Bumped” is an interesting read. The plot, theme and characters are very different then our time now. It is very interesting to learn about these characters. The two main characters; Melody and Harmony, are identical…

This book was interesting to read. From the description, I wasn't so sure, but I did end up enjoying it; another book I read in a day. I hope Ms. McCafferty does write a sequel, because I really want to know what happens with Harmony and…

I haven`t read this yet but I`m planning to. For those of you who obviously loved it: the idea is not original, as I remember reading a similar novel in university called the Handmaid`s Tale.

This book was extremely thought-provoking and maintained a core of warmth that kept me tied. I enjoyed how societal and familial themes were targeted in such an unexpected world of breeding.

The idea behind this story was interesting. A mysterious virus leaving those over 18 unable to have children and instead rely on teens to do it for them. It really changes the view on teen pregnancy. Teens are encouraged to have sex and…

I liked this book alot! I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. I was so shocked with the middle and had to finish it! I finished it in under 5 hours. It is very good and I can't wait to read Thumped! Recommend this to people who…

First heard about this book from a student. I was intrigued by the idea of a society where teenagers were encouraged, even pressured, to "bump" (procreate) in order to make up the child birth deficit brought on by a mysterious Virus. The…

This was a really good book! It kept me wanting to read more, and I'm very excited to read the sequel. Megan McCafferty did a great job with the two narrative voices. Melody and Harmony were unique. She tackled so many issues in this book,…

It's a very good book, though at times, the references can make you want to throw up. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction (i.e., The Hunger Games and The City of Ember). The lingo that they have in this book is…

The idea of the dystopian society where most girls cannot have children after the age of 18 struck me as slightly odd from the beginning, but I was interested to see where McCafferty would go with it. The switching narrator confused me for…

Not a good book! The characters are shallow and there is virtually no story line.

Not the best of the new wave of dystopian fiction, but fans of Uglies might be intrigued by the Bumped lingo.
