Reawakened by Colleen Houck- book club/ discussion questions

We read this book in book club and there weren't any discussion questions so I wrote my own.  I figured I would share so you wouldn't have to write your own!


How is this story similar/different from Tiger's Curse?

How are your friends similar/different than Lilly's friends?

What did you think of Lilly's parents and wanting to be called mother/father? 

Do you think Lilly figured out Amon was a mummy quickly or slowly?  Why was it hard for her to believe and how might you differ?

What do you think of Amon's parent's decisions when it came to Seth? 

Lilly talks a lot about her "type",  what is Lily's type?

When Lilly notices her "highlights" she rethinks her previous lifestyle and decides to enjoy her time with Amon.  Do you limit your enjoyment of life like Lily does?  Is this good or bad? She talks about "Lillian" and "Lily" and the difference between them.  Do you like Lily as a character?

Do you feel the book has vivid descriptions? 

Would you sacrifice yourself like Amon and his brothers did?

How did the death of Amon's teacher (as a child) affect Amon as a person? 

Sometimes we feel money will solve all of our problems.  How are Lily's problems different because of the money she has? 

How are the personalities of the 3 brothers different?  Do you like them?  Do you have a favorite?

Dr Hassan talks about being a man of science and a man of faith.  How do the different parts of our own personalities conflict with other parts of us? 

Did Amon have a choice about bonding with Lily? 

There are a lot of lies in this book, do you feel they were necessary or harmful to the goal of the princes?

Do you think Lily's experience will changer her college choice?

How does Anubus help the princes?

When did you figure out Dr Sabok was that bad guy? 

This story is about sacrifice, who makes these sacrifices and why do they make them?

What does the epilogue foreshadow for book 2 "Recreated"?

Did you like the book?  Racist?   Unrealistic Fiction with unbelievable characters?
