Posted by Brittany on June 08, 2010 at 10:36 AM EDT #

The book was amazing! Waldenbooks had it early. I was appalled at ***'s behavior in the books, I thought her crimes were beyond reprehensible. I didn't like that French reference at the end, though. I'd like to see a "20 years later" thing that shows where the girls ended up in adulthood. Overall, though, the plot came together and was good. I just wish we could solve the mystery of Leah Zook though...

im almost finished wanted, its absolutley amazing!!!!!!! you guys are gana FREAK OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Posted by rachel on June 08, 2010 at 11:05 AM EDT #

Posted by Amanda on June 08, 2010 at 04:30 PM EDT #

Posted by Ben Dover on June 08, 2010 at 05:01 PM EDT #

I think Ali has a twin, too. But I don't think that she killed her. I mean it tell us who kills her, unless it was a lie. I'm getting the book today:)

Posted by Lilly on June 08, 2010 at 05:04 PM EDT #

this is at spygirl. they can't use her probably cause she either couldnt do the show because of other show/movies or she might not have wanted to? im sure they asked her at one point. what show/movie was this anyway? and just be happy there even is a show premiering tonoight:)

Posted by alyssa on June 08, 2010 at 05:05 PM EDT #

I'M SOOO MAAAD! I can't read the book until i'm done my exams , which isn't till the 17th. I HAVE the book , and it's killing me not to be able to read it :( @Em<333 , i'm sooo happy you got the book :) and i'm glad it's good , but a lot of people are saying the mystery about Leah isn't solved? Is that ture? that's going to be a p*** off. Let me know some of the things that happen when you finish :)

Posted by Izzy on June 08, 2010 at 05:11 PM EDT #

I think Melissa killed Ali because she was jealous about her and Ian

Posted by April on June 08, 2010 at 05:30 PM EDT #

Please tell what happens!! i cant get the book til next week!! im gonna die!!! is Ali dead and who killed her? URGH!!! PLEASE TELL!!!!!!!!!! thanks :)

Posted by Brittany on June 08, 2010 at 05:43 PM EDT #

got tha book, read it, cant belive it, now im sad theres no more

Posted by jaela berr on June 08, 2010 at 05:58 PM EDT #

Ya. Courtney was Ali's twin who was sent to a mental ward. One day Courtney switched with Ali and Ali was sent to the ward instead. Ali killed Courtney for revenge. She was the one in the woods at night, the one at the fire. Alison is 100% alive, but not the Alison they know.....

Posted by camille on June 08, 2010 at 06:00 PM EDT #

Hopefully getting the book tonight! I hope my mom remembers to look for it! SO sad its over!

Posted by M&A&R&I&E& on June 08, 2010 at 06:03 PM EDT #

I'll watch but I won't be excited about it. But don't worry guys! My night just KEEPS getting WORSE! :D My older sister won a gold medal in the scholastic competition (Art competition) for a picture she took, and she and my mom left for NY City this morning for the ceremony. They get to stay until friday. I choose to stay here because I have two finals during this week. And now, my dad has to work late so I can't get Wanted until tomorrow.

Posted by Justine on June 08, 2010 at 06:06 PM EDT #

will there be more books?

Posted by hithere on June 08, 2010 at 06:45 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG I AM BEYOND SHOCKED!!! WANTED WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES, IT HAD UNBELIEVABLE TWISTS AND KEPT ME GUESSING THE ENTIRE TIME!! I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW EVERYTHING TURNED OUT IT'S SOOO CRAZY :O SO MANY THEORIES OF MINE TURNED OUT TO BE RIGHT!!!

Posted by Em <333 on June 08, 2010 at 07:30 PM EDT #

@Izzy - MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS - Ali is 100% alive, but she isn't the Ali that was best friends with the girls!! She and Courtney are twin sisters, but the Ali that was friends with them was actually COURTNEY who took over the real Ali's life after she was sent away to the Preserve in place of Courtney!! Ali did NOT dump Naomi and Riley for no reason, Courtney did because she didn't know them and only knew the 5 girls from that time they tried to steal the time capsule flag! That's the ONLY reason she befriended them - she knew noone else in Rosewood.

Posted by Em <333 on June 08, 2010 at 07:44 PM EDT #

CONTINUED SPOILER ALERT!!!! It was actually Courtney who spoke to them that time, and it was also her the time when "Ali" appeared downstairs in her backyard in a different outfit after being in her room getting yelled at by her mom!! The REAL Ali killed Courtney (fake Ali) in revenge for taking over her life after she was shipped away, and she also murdered Ian and Jenna and kidnapped Melissa!!!

Posted by Em <333 on June 08, 2010 at 07:45 PM EDT #

CONTINUED SPOILER ALERT!!!! Ali wanted to hypnotize them again when they were all at the Poconos house with her in the end, and they let her, so while they're hypnotized Ali writes a long letter to them that describes everything that happened, she's been doing, and ties all the mysteries together!! It was she that set the fire in the woods to burn them, tried to make the girls look crazy and get them arrested, and has been sending all of the A notes!! Then, she sets the house on fire to kill all of them because she feels they ruined her life, but they get out of the house. Ian's DEAD, maggot-covered body is in the closet in Ali's bedroom in the Poconos house, and a tied up Melissa is in there as well!! :)

Posted by Em <333 on June 08, 2010 at 07:46 PM EDT #

ewwwwwwww now i really have to get it.

Posted by LALA on June 08, 2010 at 10:09 PM EDT #

oh my god! wanted was amazing! but i knew something was up with Ali, she definitely was not acting like the Ali the girls knew. and plus I definitely had a feeling Melissa wasn't guilty, I had a feeling she was going to the Preserve to find out all the background information on Ali/Courtney. What's the deal with the Those Who Forget The Past thing in the back though? is that saying Ali isn't dead?

Posted by craaaazy on June 08, 2010 at 10:43 PM EDT #

so what about Billy Ford? Thanks for all the spoiler alerts:) :) :)

Posted by Brittany on June 09, 2010 at 12:16 AM EDT #

Billy Ford was framed. i knew sara wouldn't just throw somethin like that in! i was sooo shocked wen everything was revealed! i was like "NO WAI!" this Ali character kinda creeps me out now i mean, serious SPOILERRRR!!!! killing your own sister just cuz you had a little hissy fit? wat a major b**ch i won't be surprised if i have nightmares about ali. but ohboygotdamnn;; i feel bad for the girls. they were fooled ALL THAT TIME. &THEN THEY GOT FOOLED (again!) but im gladd how things worked out for them. God help emily cuz that chickie is scarred for life (lolz)! &&oooh, that whole "Ali killed Ali" thing...that girl is a b**ch! it was a great ending to a wonderful series, everything was revealed and im just like whoa..AH-MAZING! =D

why did courtney kill jenna?

Posted by eb3389 on June 09, 2010 at 12:54 AM EDT #

it wasn't courtney who killed jenna. it was the real Ali. she killed her because jenna was suspicious about the switching, since she met the other twin. since she was so close to the truth, Ali took care of her :(

Posted by urma blastt(: on June 09, 2010 at 01:01 AM EDT #

what happened at the end wit real ali?

Posted by aida on June 09, 2010 at 08:51 AM EDT #

I bought the book yesterday&I finished it the same day!! It was AMAZING!!!!!!! SO MANY SHOCKING DETAILS&SOOOO MUCH STUFF COMES OUT IT'LL MAKE YOU BLINK TWICE! I'm not gonna spoil it for the other people who haven't read it,but one thing,for all those who thought about the "twin" theory.....=) hehehe if you don't have the book yet,get it NOW!!! P.S. after reading "Wanted" it made me wonder if Sara is going to write another book? It's possible,the setting could have the girls in college etc....I hope she writes ONE more book

Posted by MiA on June 09, 2010 at 10:42 AM EDT #

i havent read this book yet..so why couldnt courtney just say she was courtney and not ali..and why did she start changing friends and blowing the girls off right before she got killed(with the field hockey girls)?? and toby cavanaugh..did he really kill himself or was it the real ali too..or does wanted even bring that up???thanks :)

Posted by Brittany on June 09, 2010 at 11:29 AM EDT #

Wanted was so awesome. i read it in a hour when i got it last night. Pretty Little Liars best series in the world.

Posted by Ariella on June 09, 2010 at 12:57 PM EDT #

i read wanted and loved ittt, but i have a few things i'm confused about.. in heartless, didn't they say the body in the hole was leah zook's? so how is it courtneys now..? leah zook wasn't mentioned in the book at all. also, why were wilden and jason always so sketchy? i understand wilden was hiding courtney, but still, what about jason? and how did ali become A after mona died if she was in the mental hospital? how did she even get hold of the diary?

Posted by Lauren on June 09, 2010 at 01:17 PM EDT #

okay so please tell me what happend i didnt read any of the books just watched the show and im dying to know! pleasepleaseplease tellll

Posted by kieer on June 09, 2010 at 01:54 PM EDT #

KIEER...you really need to get the books.they are awesome!!!! :) PLEASE more Spoiler Alerts :) :) :)

Posted by Brittany on June 09, 2010 at 02:35 PM EDT #

Omggggggg! I got Wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm on page 27! :D

Posted by A's Little Helper(: on June 09, 2010 at 04:30 PM EDT #

omg. wthefrick are you talking about people!? wanted sukced! it was so boring the whole time it was way too predictable. i mean first ali has a twin-everyone has already guessed that and just the fact that they kept her a secret is suspicious enough! then we have to put up with "courtney" through the whole book i mean i barely got to read anyhting about the other girls cuz courtney was always there! i mean there was barely any aria and she's my favorite! then they THINK it's melissa but if you've read any of the previous books you know it's never who they think it is! then there's a dance i mean really why is there always a formal event where everything goes wrong!? then they go to the poconos which everyone predicted would happen then the girls are stupid enough to get hypnotized and then wdoyouknow! it's really ali but they only knew coutney and they're both phyco!

Posted by frilly on June 09, 2010 at 05:51 PM EDT #

just kidding you thought it would be someone intesesting and hard to figure out but once you knew why it'd be so obvious but no just kidding just introduce a new character out of the blue and make her responsible for the muders and being a. ugh in short this book just stunk. i mean i loved the other books and i wanted this one to be way better than it was. i was dissapointed. i mean my friends and i all came up with way more interesting endings(that made sense!) why was this one so predictable!?

Posted by frilly on June 09, 2010 at 05:53 PM EDT #

im writing again so someone answer !! i read wanted and loved ittt, but i have a few things i'm confused about.. in heartless, didn't they say the body in the hole was leah zook's? so how is it courtneys now..? leah zook wasn't mentioned in the book at all. also, why were wilden and jason always so sketchy? i understand wilden was hiding courtney, but still, what about jason? and how did ali become A after mona died if she was in the mental hospital? how did she even get hold of the diary?

Posted by Lauren on June 09, 2010 at 07:09 PM EDT #

Ok, can someone please explain the little epilogue at the end of wanted? was it just a preview for anouther series or was it part of the book? Also,(SPOILER!) they never said the name of Meridiths baby, and that sorta upset me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED THE BOOK! But I was a little confuesed with these things and disapointed. Thank you Sara for writing these AMAZING books! I got my one friend who didn't even like to read before addicted to them!

Posted by LovetheLiars on June 09, 2010 at 07:18 PM EDT #

I think Sara should write a book for Ali and Courtney's point of view from when Courtney as talking to the girls in her backyard to when Ali was at Poconos with the girls. I would definately read that book because I think it would make it even better.

Posted by Taryn on June 09, 2010 at 07:29 PM EDT #

LAUREN you're right i was thinking the exact same things!! Does anybody know the answer to Lauren's questions?! It seems like you're a really smart girl (; keep up the good thoughts chica hehe x3

Posted by Esmerelda on June 09, 2010 at 07:37 PM EDT #

LoveTheLiars, I think its part of this book. If you scramble up the letters of the names, they all spell out alison dilaurentis, with the exception of the first one missing 3 letters and the 2nd one missing 1 letter. I'm guessing alison got out of the fire&moved to all different places, changing her name after each place

Posted by Lauren on June 09, 2010 at 07:37 PM EDT #

OMG LAUREN! another great response! keep at it, you're getting far! do you like, know sara shepard or something? LOL!!!! or maybe ali hypnotized U 2!

Posted by Esmerelda on June 09, 2010 at 07:43 PM EDT #

SO WHAT HAPPEND TO JASON?

Posted by Andre on June 09, 2010 at 09:37 PM EDT #

I totally agree with Esmerelda and Lauren. I sort of liked the book, but then I didn't. I mean the fact that we never figured out Jason and Wilden were Both acting so sketchy, annoyed me. I felt like the ending was rushed and a tad bit to predictable. I think Ms.Shepard is a great writer, and I love the series, that just bothered me a bit. I was so emotionally invested in this series, that I had like a sigh of relief when I figured out what was really going on lol.

Posted by Meghan on June 09, 2010 at 09:48 PM EDT #

ps-Esmerelda, I think everyone figured out that those were anagrams for Alison Dilaurentis. lol. Well at least I assumed everyone did, they almost said it.

Posted by Meghan on June 09, 2010 at 09:53 PM EDT #

OMG i got up at like 6 Am on June 8 to download ti ym Amazon kindle I love it. it took me less than 24 hrs to read i like ended at 8:30 PM

Posted by Alex on June 09, 2010 at 10:08 PM EDT #

did anyone get the "Those who forget the past" part at the end of wanted??? i was sooo confused was that laura girl ali back from the fire or ....i dont know the or... either way wanted was amazing and i totally wish there were more books:)

Posted by kyliequeen on June 09, 2010 at 10:10 PM EDT #

I liked the way this wrapped up, but a couple of things still bother me - like Leah Zook, as a few other people mentioned. Also, why did Ian have to die? Did he figure it out, like Jenna did? To answer a poster above, I think Toby did kill himself (after what he did to Jenna, I'm sure he was tortured internally). However, why did C mention that she and Jenna both knew what it was like to have sibling issues? I suppose it was because C knew Ali was crazy too, but only C was the one who had to get hidden and sent away. I'm not sure, I think there might have been too many little mysteries in this series that muddled up the big one too much. On the whole, though, I really enjoyed it and will enjoy reading it all again from the beginning and watching the TV show.

Posted by Wendy on June 09, 2010 at 11:43 PM EDT #

the real ali killed ian because she hated everything that courtney did in her name with her life. like courtney kissed ian so ali killed her. and I think jenna had to die just because she knew too much, which is really sad. I don't know about wilden and jason, that's so sketchy and weird why was that even like brought up. because why did he buy so much propane if ali set the fire to the woods? I want to know about the ending though! was it that ali escaped the fire and that's why all those people like twittered that they kept seeing her? she could have been moving around and changing her name. I wish more was answered!! Please write another book sara shepard, even like a diary from ali/courtney's point of view!

Posted by brooke on June 10, 2010 at 03:58 AM EDT #

The ending was just a hint that ali is obviously alive and has moved away. It basically leaves the book open for a sequel but it may not happen. As far as i know no sequel is being planned because Ms.Shepard is debuting other books. But with an open ending for ali she can always go back and explore that topic, its a common thing for writers of a popular series. If she were to write again into the story i think that aria, emily hanna and spencer would be left out of it.

Posted by nicole on June 10, 2010 at 12:44 PM EDT #

I wanted to round off the comments to make it 60. YAY!

Posted by ashley on June 10, 2010 at 04:54 PM EDT #

heyy i haven't read the book so can someone tell me exactly what happened? even stuff like minor details? i mean what was up with kate??

Posted by rainna on June 10, 2010 at 05:27 PM EDT #

Obviously Jason and Wilden were shady because they both knew Ali had a twin and were trying to keep the secret.

Posted by Emily on June 10, 2010 at 08:46 PM EDT #

Spoiler Alert: What I don't understand is why Courtney as Ali wanted to know all four of the girls secrets, why didn't she just want to have fun in her new life?

Posted by Aly on June 10, 2010 at 09:03 PM EDT #

Okay, so i just watched the episode and thats it. I didnt read the books or anything. Who is courtney? Do you not meet her in the first episode? I have read the comments and do all the girls know that she has a twin? can someone just give me a short summary of all the books??? that would help a lot! thanks :)

Posted by Alyssa on June 11, 2010 at 01:35 AM EDT #

Also, when did the switch between courtney and ali happen? (like age or grade wise) why didnt ali say something to someone about what courtney did?

Posted by Alyssa on June 11, 2010 at 01:43 AM EDT #

Okay Alyssa to answer your question without ruining it for you based on what you just read above you is Ali's twin sister. She won't be appearing in the series till way later on. I'm thinking either the season finale or if they drag on long enough season 2. If you read the books, the last one in the middle of the book you will find out why and how the switch happened. Basically to sum it up Ali had a twin sis they both had some serious mental issues and so Courtney wanted to be Ali, she would covet what Ali had. So one day C took A's ring while she wan't looking therefore to prove she was A when she was really C. No one chose to believe A wasn't C. Because C was always saying she was A so they thought she was crazy & doing the impersonation of her again. C ruined A's life and A wanted to revenge on everyone including her sister..... so the dead girl all along was C not A... Anything other questions you have just ask, i'd love to answer for you.

Posted by Ally on June 11, 2010 at 05:22 PM EDT #

SPOILER What really shocks me the most is how they had all these things....and it all turned out to be a big fat lie. Like it shocks me to know that this whole thing could've been stopped if the girls hadn't tried to steal Alison's time capsule flag. I mean something as little as that ended up messing up their lives!

Posted by Elleinad on June 11, 2010 at 05:31 PM EDT #

i finished the book last night. it was soooooooooo good and surprising. the show was good too, but i didn't like it as much as i thought i would. but the book omg it was the best in the series. it like took my breath away. i couldn't belive how it ended!!!!!! but sara couldn't have tied it all together better. thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by edwardsahotty on June 11, 2010 at 08:16 PM EDT #

omg it seems like ali was the crazy one and not courtney!! just finished the book like ten minutes ago!! but hey can anyone tell me what was so important about the wishing well...i remember in the first book they had a dream when ali(or courtney) was hypnotizing them and they said they saw ali fall down a well...... what was so important about the well?

Posted by Hannah on June 12, 2010 at 05:57 PM EDT #

Spoiler alert! To sum this book up, Courtney (Alis twin sister) was pretending to be Ali the whole time she was friends with Emily Spencer Aria and Hanna. The real Ali had never met the four girls before, and in Wanted, it's clear that Ali tries to get rid of everything that supposedly happened in her life that Courtney took from her. Example, Courtney kissing Ian. Ali killed Ian because he began to put the pieces together, and also because Courtney had kissed him pretending to be Ali. And mostly, Ali trying to kill the Pretty Little Liars. They were a huge part of Courtney-as-Ali's life, and Ali wanted everything that happened to be pretended to never happened, if that makes sense lol

Posted by alexandra (: on June 12, 2010 at 08:56 PM EDT #

I really loved the books, Wanted was pretty crazy, but I loved that everything finally came together and all my questions were pretty much answered. As far as the television show, it disappointed me immensely.. I feel that since the girls physical appearances were very evident through out the books, it is kindof upsetting that it wasn't really taken into account while casting the show..

Posted by ohheybrittanyy on June 13, 2010 at 02:33 AM EDT #

My Mom read the back of the first book and she didn't think i was old enough so i had to get the books from my friends and couldn't take them home and read them and now she won't lit me get the 8th book just b/c of the back of the firsts books cover and now i am on summer and have nothing to read and i don't know what happens! =( PLEASE FILL ME IN ON THE WHOLE BOOK

Posted by LKB on June 13, 2010 at 11:59 PM EDT #

Okay Ally another question, how does the real Ali know the secret's about the four girls even though she has never met them before?

Posted by Alyssa on June 14, 2010 at 12:19 PM EDT #

@ Alyssa-again with the journal plot..The real Alli read Courtney's journals.

Posted by Meghan on June 14, 2010 at 04:33 PM EDT #

OMG! I have this book on hold at the library, and I cannot wait to read it! Before I read it though, I have to refresh myself with the other books in the series. Thanks for all the spoilers!

Posted by Becka on June 15, 2010 at 08:58 AM EDT #

OKAAY, im kinda confused... like you know how spencer remembered that Ali in the sleepover (Courtney) had a C ring on, and the Ali outside (real Ali) had the A ring on? Well, didnt they say Courtney stole the A ring to pretend to be Ali? And how they found Courtneys body in the hole but thought it was Ali cuz the A ring? Well how did Spencer see Courtney with the C ring, if she was found in the hole with the A ring?

Posted by carla on June 15, 2010 at 05:23 PM EDT #

I'm sorry, but if you haven't read the books and are just watching the series, you shouldn't be on here. If you don't want spoilers you shouldn't be on here either, and you need to pick up the books for yourself and read them instead of asking everyone for summaries. The series is way too complicated and long for that.

Posted by Elizabeth on June 18, 2010 at 09:33 AM EDT #

I really loved Wanted. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I think it was an awesome book with everything fitting together at the end. I think some things were brought up just to cast suspicion on other characters (Wilden acting strangely, Ian escaping/his body, Melissa acting strangely, etc.) It was just an incredibly well thought out plan to get you to doubt everyone-and just when you think you know who A is, you're wrong.

Posted by Elizabeth on June 18, 2010 at 09:34 AM EDT #

The only things I felt were really unexplained was Leah Zook (what happened to her? Was Wilden involved?), Jason in general (was he crazy as well, with how he got so mad sometimes?), the Dilaurentis family (if they're being charged with accessories to murder, are they all wanted now and on the run? Or was that just a speculation by the police, and they disappeared to get away from the media/shame?), and Ali as Courtney/vice-versa (If Courtney as Ali was using a diary to record everything that happened, how did Mona find it and become A? Were they working together? Or was this a different diary altogether that Real Ali later used?) But it was a really, really amazing book that made you gasp and never expect what was coming next. I loved the final epilogue ending as well. It gave me chills. Sara Shepard should definitely write a Ali/Courtney diary!

Posted by Elizabeth on June 18, 2010 at 09:34 AM EDT #

Oh, and I really didn't like Spencer's 'remembering what really happened that night' epiphany type things. That was stupid. It would change practically every book to whoever was convenient enough to be the killer. First Spencer herself, then Melissa, Ian, Billy Ford, and finally Real Ali and Courtney. She could have convinced herself it was anyone blonde with the way that was happening.

Carla, to attempt to answer your question: The Ali in the barn that night was Courtney, so she was wearing a C ring. The Real Ali outside was wearing an A ring. I also couldn't figure this out while reading the book, but it's possible that when Real Ali attacked Courtney outside, she switched the rings from A to C (So that Real Ali now had the C ring on and Courtney now had the A ring) to make it look like Ali was the one who was dead in the hole. Real Ali got sent to the mental institution because her parents thought she was Courtney. I think Sara may have messed up here or I'm missing something, because you're right, it said that Courtney stole Real Ali's A ring to pretend to be her.

well i loved the book! i have a few problems...most importantly how the heck did Mona being the first A tie in there. i don't think the real Alison and Mona were in cahoots while she was locked up. so you lost me there. ALSO to everyone wondering about the epilouge..this is how i took it - it was sara shepards way of making you think what COULD happen. personally, in my head, Alison is dead..she died in the fire. But her ending kind of left room for imagination! work with her here. haha.

Wanted was so good! At first, iWas a little confused about the "To Those Who Forget The Past" part, but then iGot it! Lol, iAm a little slow. xD But anyways, iSeriously cried tears of sadness when the book was over. She left it right open for another book! But then iCried tears of happiness when iLooked at the back...AND SAW THAT SHE WAS MAKING A NEW SERIES CALLED "THE LYING GAME" ABOUT TWO GIRLS WHO ARE TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH AND THE TRADE PLACES. Sound a little familiar to you? ;D Kinda like "The Parent Trap" meets "Pretty Little Liars".

AH omg, no! Wanted was by far the worst book in this series. It was way too predictable and I felt kind of cheated with it all being explained by a twin. Billy Ford might as well done it because its virtually the same thing. There were no twists or surprises like in the other books, and none of those clues were even in this book! Like why Emily was sent to the Amish town? Also the ongoing thing with Melissa possibly being the killer was stupid because we already knew it wasn't her, it had been done before and it felt like it was just in there because Sara needed something to jazz it up, but really we all knew about the cop-out twin situation. Nothing was really summed up to me, sorry but I didn't like it. Disappointed to the max.

This is an amazing conclusion to an amazing series!! Could someone please tell me what the new series by Sara Shepard is called and when it will come out? Also, I had some questions about the book. Did we ever find out who Leah Zook was? Did I just miss it or was it never found out? If it wasn't, that's a major hole in the story plot. I totally didn't understand the epilogue in this book. It's called "THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST" it didn't make sense to me at all! What do all the names mean? From who's point of view is it? what is it supposed to symbolize? Please help! Email me at bumblebunny3000@gmail.com if you understood it.
