I way, way, way late to the game but I finally finished reading this (my library doesn’t have it and I hadn’t gotten around to buying it until now) and now I’ve been crying for 10 minutes.

First The Book Thief and now this, stop making me read beautiful crying books.

You GUYS. I have resisted posting on this because it is >1 year old and I don’t want to be that obnoxious person who posts hella late, but Y’ALL. I have reread this book at least five times since I first read it (…in June) and every single time I end up sobbing sniffling my way through at least the last 50 pages (there are some quieter tears earlier). I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this book. It blows my mind how much I love it every time I read it. It never gets old.

[...] this book, it’s really just called “War,” but I figured using the Jellicoe Road term would give you a better understanding of what the battle between the Village and Civil War [...]

Holy.Effing.Shizz. This book was amazing. I am suffering from pretty much one of the worst cases of TEABS ever. I finished this book 5 days ago and am still having a hard time focusing on real life. And seriously, the noises and sobs coming out of me were undignified. So much so that hours later the husband asked if I was done crying yet.

That this book has been out there for so long and I’ve only just read it is almost unforgivable!
I know you warned about the TEABS but I was still not prepared!
There also needs to be a warning not to start this book before bed and to charge your ereader or 2am will make you oh so sad.

Oh my goodness, the TEABS. It’s been so long since I felt this way about a book. I’m currently in a bet with my boyfriend that I can read 80 books this summer, Jellicoe Road was #25 thus far. I have half a mind to just stop right there and read it over and over again to complete the 80. So so so incredible.

Thank you for reviewing it, because my life been made so much better because I read this book.

Now I must try to get everyone to read it. I’m not quite sure I’m prepared to loan it out though, cos I think I want to read it another 12 times and I can’t bear to be parted with it for that long of a time.

Meg, I seriously LIVE for comments like this. I’m so glad you experienced the wonderful incredible amazingness of this book. And, you know, the hotness of Jonah.

I just want to sincerely thank you guys for writing about this book, or I never would have read it, or even known about it. I just read it cover to cover and sobbed intermittently throughout the last 100 pages or so. I can’t remember being this affected by a book in a looooong time and I have this awesome site to thank for it! So keep on keeping on.

Also, Jonah melted my panties right off.

I’ve heard you all mention this book so much since I started reading this site (around Mockingjay time), that I had to finally get Jellicoe Road out of the library. I read it yesterday (all in one day, natch) and reread most of it today. Oh my God. The TEABS. It is tearing me apart this time. What an incredible book. I feel the need to hogtie all of my friends down and make them read this so I have someone to swimfan over it with. Lacking that, I am googling and reading every review of it ever written and adding my own to goodreads and amazon, just so I can keep a connection to this book. I love it. I love Taylor. I love Jonah. I love Raffy and Chaz and Jude and Hannah and even annoying Jessa and creepy Hermit. I cannot let this book go.
