My Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter Book Review on Goodreads

Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As usual, I have no way to describe this book. Maybe (like usual) I'll sum up a super long review. Maybe. Somehow, I'm not all that sure.

WARNING: DO NOT READ UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IF YOU ARE BUSY. WILL BE ABLE TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE!!!!!

I think all I can say is that this book is the number one to read before you die. So read it right now. You never know when that car accident's going to happen.

You better read it. The only thing I really remember was feeling numb, and I felt like Cammie did. Pretty smart of Ally to ellicit emotions that the character feels. All I ever felt was numb. So numb.

This book was so wonderful and terrible because you know that nothing can ever be the same again.

Ever.



Words that have no meaning to you right now but ellicit chills down my spine:
It's true.
Jump.
Circus.
The least we can do is take her to her father.

I don't know what to say and the easiest way to do this is just to say nothing at all (well not much).

Reading Log 1

Wednesday 2/28/12  2 hours 1-143

The cover above on the left is the cover in other countries besides the U.S. I have always preferred this company's covers because they are more exciting but this one was SO BORING in comparison to the United States one above on the right. I borrowed it from my friend. I devoured it in one bite and it was just released on March 13th. Oh my gosh, you must read at all costs. (But please read the others first.) Evil cliffhangers and the fact that authors can't write books in a day. These trailers make  lot more sense AFTER you read the book. So don't be confused at first. You're supposed to be.

SINCE I AM TAKING THE TIME TO POST THE LINKS TO THESE TRAILERS PLEASE WATCH THEM!!!!!! (OR AT LEAST THE OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF TIME ONE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY GOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!!

#5 Out of Sight, Out of Time OFFICIAL Book Trailer

#4 Only the Good Spy Young OFFICIAL Book Trailer (this one isn't as good as the previous trailer)

#3 Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover OFFICIAL Book Trailer (some elements it shows about the book may be wrong because it was still in draft form and elements got changed after this was filmed. Not that great either, but REALLY HELPFUL if you're looking for background on the series)

The first two books don't have book trailers because I don't think the publisher even had a channel when they were published. Here's the links to their pages on Goodreads:

I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You (Gallagher Girls, #1)

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy (Gallagher Girls, #2)

                                                                                                                                                                      

 So many questions and so little answers. But that's what the second-to-last book in a series does to you. It leaves you on a cliffhanger to the last. And I have to wait FOREVER to read the next one. At which point I will have forgotten everything that happens by then.

Questions:

• Is Cammie's dad really dead?
• Will Cammie's mom be able to notify the CIA and M16 about all the leaks, moles, and double agents in time?
• What exactly happened to Cammie when she was semi-"hypnotized" by Dr. Steve?
• Was she remembering the music from the circus because the Circle had uncovered that memory over the summer?
• Will the girls have to secretly go save Preston from his own father amd his terrorist friends?
• Will the Circle of Cavan ever be stopped?
• Will something of Gilly's help solve the mystery and end the Circle once and for all?

                                                                                                                                                                     
Don't have quotes but do have evidence because I gave the book back to my friend who lent it to me.

At the end of the book, Cammie and her friends are laying down and thinking about everything that has happened to them over the semester. Cammie looks at the lit window of her mother's office, where she is meeting with many trusted friends/executives to discuss what Cammie narrates to the audience as how to get rid of the "leaks, moles, and double agents" in CIA and MI6.
                                                                                                                                                                     
This piece of evidence goes along with the second question. It is late at night in the P&E (Protection and Enforcement) barn at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women (AKA spy school).
                                                                                                                                                                      

Circle of Cavan:

An ancient terrorist organization founded by Ioseph Cavan in the mid-19th century. It is rumored that Gillian Gallagher, the founder of the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, loved him. She was forced to kill him though with his own sword at a ball in her mansion where he was in disguise. After Ioseph assassinated President Lincoln when he was still alive, the Circle mainly went into hiding. Eventually, people thought it was only a rumor. But it still existed. Until they finally came out of hiding to track down Cammie Morgan, because she was the only one who might remember the rumored list made by Gillian Gallagher with the names of every member of the Circle of Cavan. She remembered it because her father was searching for it right before he dissapeared and the Circle killed him. And she saw it at the circus when her father received it. Before he died.

                                                                                                                                                                      

Cammie discovered all this information about Ioseph in an earlier book when one of her proffesors explained  it to the class. The later information is an assimilation of the things revealed throughout this book.
                                                                                                                                                                      
The Circle of Cavan is the center of all of the plot now and is the fundamental element of the book's support. Everything is about whether or not it is chasing Cammie, or what it did to Cammie over her summer vacation that made her lose her memory and come back with torture marks.
