So, I have been wanting to read this series for awhile, since it is one of the most popular series that the library has. Now that the movie is coming out for the first book this month, I finally decided I'd better get with it and read the book. Unfortunately, the book is always better than the movie, but I am still looking forward to seeing it.

Ethan Wate has always dreamed of escaping his small hometown of Gatlin, but lately his dreams have taken a new turn, when he dreams of saving a mysterious girl. As if that isn't weird enough, things get even stranger when Lena Duchannes moves in with her uncle in the town's "haunted mansion." Ethan is strangely drawn to the new "weird" girl who doesn't seem to fit in with anyone. He is even more intrigued when he realizes that she is the mystery girl from his dreams. As forces in their families try to drive the pair apart, they find that there is a darker force that is trying to destroy them both.

I really enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series. I can definitely see why it has been so popular.
