Nightfall

I love how this book keeps you entangled the whole time. Not once did I bore of it. Definitely an interesting read.

Had a chance to see Jake speak to our middle schoolers and knew I had to read this book. The reader will notice an immediate parallel to Ray Bradbury's short story "All Summer In a Day" in which schoolchildren on Venus who live with constant rainstorms , where the sun is indivisible 2 hrs every 7 years. In Halpern's book the island reverts from day to night every 14 years. The day dwellers leave the island at the end of daylight sailing to the desert island and continued daylight. Three youth get left behind and learn a lot about themselves and the night dwellers who begin to repopulate the island. A chase/journey motif emerges as the youth are pursued by the night dwellers as the youth struggle to leave the island and head to safety. Youth and adults will enjoy the suspense and friendship enjoyed among the youth. Great read! Check it out!

I love this book. I would love to read the ending "ending" and know what her moms reaction is and if kana is going to ask the truth about him, and I wonder what's going to happen when she gets back to bliss and if she does get married to line and if she's going to have a babby, I wonder what happened to sharia? I can't wait to read edge land and I wonder if the books are connected. 5 stars because I couldn't wait to come to school every day and read the next chapter because every chapter pulled you in more and more, and I'm so sad that the book ended.

I really enjoyed the mystery of rhe island and not knowing exactly what happens there during the darkness. The characters were interesting and likeable. However i thought that the ending was rushed and you're still left with questions.

Nightfall was a pretty average book. While I was incredibly invested in the story at the beginning, it soon just got slow (in my opinion) and started to make about zero sense. The book ended with so many unanswered questions, and I was disappointed. But, I couldn't say I hate the novel. Would I recommend it to others? No, not really. But it isn't terrible.Final rating: 3 1/2 stars.

Greattt boook. It totally takes you into the story and makes you feel like you are there.

The author just let the ending fall apart. The middle of the book was amazing and the introduction needed some work.

Loved reading this book. Heard one of the authors speak at New York Comic Con 2015. I was on the edge of my seat most of the book because you had no idea if they would ever get off the island or die. This would deff be an interesting movie. I would love to see how the creatures would look.

Have only read the first few pages so far, but the writing is solid and the tale is intriguing. Hope to sit down on the next rainy day and really dive into Nightfall as soon as possible.

Bought for sibling who was told to read more...….still unopened.

Thoroughly entertaining! But the cover got damaged easily 😕
