What did everyone think about Eric's poetry?

Eric's poetry is glorious! I wish I could write that! "Turgid is my torment!!!!" OMG Hell yes!

What did you think about the Simon and Clary's relationship at this point?

The situation is instantly clear: Simon is completely in love with her(my darling Simon!) and Clary is as OBLIVIOUS as Hellan Keller before she learned sign language.

Did you suddenly find Simon more attractive because the blond girl did?

No. I love Simon to death, but I don't have the hots for him. Kind of like Clary haha. The poor lil vamp! Besides, that blode girl was a ho! And who cares what a ho thinks, yo?

What were your first thoughts when you saw Jace in the cafe?

That boy is a stealthy motha! Clary should talk to him! I think that is exactly what I thought when I read it for the first time.

Were you freaked out by the phone call from her mother?

At first I was like "Gosh! Moms ruin everything!" But then I thought "Hmmm...there is more to this than meets the eye, I think. I shall be more watchful of this Jocelyn character..."

Simon: I'll get the coffee if you find us a seat. What do you want?"

Clary: Just coffee. Black-like my soul."

Looool tastic. That's the line that officially sold me the book, hahahaha.
From this point with the reintroduction of Jace and whatnot I had a good idea of where the characters were going and this craaazy love triangle.

Jace is awesome, the loveable jerk, and actually I hated that I liked him because I was trying to create a similar kind of character for class, lol. Cassandra got there first.

The poetry, it SPOKE TO THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUUUULL
black like black black blaaack darkness in the night...

Also, it was hilarious!

I think after I read that part with Joclyn's call I said out loud "Oh crap! What happened?" followed with "she's probably been kidnapped!"

Meh see my favorite is when Jace goes, "I was laughing at you because declarations of love amuse me, especially when unrequited."

I liked the blond girl. Especially because she was reading Shonen Jump. XD. lol. I actually thought she was a cuttie and I hoped she would have got it with Simon.

When Jace showed up I was like "Halleluja baby yeah!!!!!" XD I was happy. lol. My favourite quotes were already said here so it would be stupid to repeat them..... uhhhh...... right.

I think Eric is a good. His rock awesome poetry rattled my neferious loins! XDDDDDD. ahhh..... jokes. lol. I loved it. I think he has amazing skillz and nobody can compare. XDDDDD

I think that the Sensor is a good disscusion point.  How does it work any way? hmmmm..... It could be interesting. And Why did Jace go and get Clary? He could have just whent back to the Instatute, but he went to Clary's appartment.

I was really happy when Jace showed up at the poetry reading because it showed me that the book wasn't going to be slow-going. CC could've waited a couple more chapters to have Jace show up, but she didn't, and that told me right there that this would be good.

Eric's poetry...still makes me laugh. I can just picture his face all scrunched up in "pain" as he recites it. classic.

I liked the blonde girl because she saw Simon for what he was. I don't see him as a "hawtie" but I think there's something there, and the girl saw it.

And Clary is oblivious of course, as she often is with Simon. poor thing.
