I thought the sequel was pretty good. I'm not sure if I should be happy about the ending, but I will see how that plays out in the rest of the series.

Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison
Finally finished this book. If you are wondering if its exactly like the Netflix Original show, that is not the case. The show is very loosely based off the book. Regardless, I did enjoy reading it. It isn't full of drama like the show. So, if you are looking for all the drama and excitement then this book might not be for you. However,there are some very heart-warming moments which I enjoyed. Also, there was a mention by another reviewer about seeing how privileged Piper is in the memoir and I can agree that one can definitely tell the differences in treatment as well as among other things. Regardless, I would recommend this book.
I enjoyed this sequel, though there were a few bits I didn't like. I love it when books make me angry and I threw this one at wall.
One of my friends suggested this book, and I finally decided to read it. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I definitely enjoyed it towards the end.
It was okay, and only stuck through it for class. I don't ever plan on reading this again. It's basically about conformity.
I wasn't sure if it was going to be good at all. It felt strange having a new character's story added in from the start of the book. I was completely expecting to start the book where the end of [b:Cinder|11235712|Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1)|Marissa Meyer|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317794278s/11235712.jpg|15545385] left off. Fortunately, it turned out much better than expected. I took me til halfway through the book though to get the theme. It is very loosely based off Little Red Riding-hood as the first was based loosely off Cinderella. I can't wait to see which story the next book will be based off of next.
I know its probably aimed towards a younger age, so I kind of disliked the writing a little and some of the cliche situations. Yet, I overall generally liked the book. I originally that it was going to be something like Wizard of Oz, but it wasn't completely. It had some elements, though I didn't know Wizard of Oz was a series of books and I've only read the first one so I don't have a clue,

I thought it was pretty good til towards the end, though I am not sure what I was expecting. It did have quite a number of humorous moments which I appreciated.I also had something negative happen today so that probably also affected me reading it, so I might re-read another time but no guarantee.EDITED 12/31/12After mulling over it, I gave it another star because I really enjoyed large chunks of the book. In my mind, I didn't 'liked' it because I really liked it.
I read this back in middle school, and I thoroughly enjoyed it so I decided to try re-reading it because of the sequels. I absolutely loved it and probably would have rated it five stars. Since its been quite a number of years, I do not feel the same as I have in the past. Yet, I still enjoyed it.
