I wish Goodreads had a category like that.

I am not too familiar with agoraphobia (I have a memoir written by someone with it I've been meaning to read), but I do know what it is like to suffer from anxiety attacks. I still want to give it a try.

It sounds like such an interesting book, but I don't think it's for me. <br /><br />I hadn't heard of the Lockwood series, but went and looked for the books and have downloaded the first one.

It's a tough thing when you really, really want to like a book, but keep tripping over something that makes you not love it at all. I'm kind of in the same spot right now. I'm supposed to be doing a blog tour post for The Naked Eye (think you are on the same tour).
