I loved it!

Everytime a teacher mentions certain literary elements I always think of that book because it was so like.. detailedly thought out.
Serendipity
We're in the middle of reading that in my English class. It's a pretty amazing story. Even though his writing is sometimes hard to understand, I guess that's what makes it so interesting.

It was a good book, I had to force myself through a tad, but overall I was happy. I remember reading the shortened version first, then the actual book, and the book has a lot more information. blink.gif

i just reread & finished it a couple of nights ago.

somehow, i didn't really feel at all that sad the 2nd time reading it. but i understood a lot more now, since i'm older.

i'm currently reading great expectations, charles dickens. i've had it for a couple of years now, from a friend, but i havn't relly opened it. the accents/words are kind of complicating, but i want to read it. & anyone who finished great expectations, how was it?

I thought it was okay.

You should try out the full portion, it goes a lot more into his personal life, and it's interesting to see how the experiment not only changes his IQ, but basically everything else.

I have another story to go with this story. So my back then girlfriend came to visit and we were hanging out and what not, but at the time she couldn't sleep over my house so we stayed at my cousin's house. Let's just say they heard a lot of noise on the bottom bunk lols. Anyways, I didn't sleep and I picked up one of my cuzzo book and started reading. Wow that story was sad and had real emotion. Really intellectual.

I read it about a billion times and saw the movie too. It's so sad as I remembered it.

It was a bittersweet story. Sad but beautiful. Read it last year. Hahahaha, me and all the girls were like 'Awwwwwww' at the very end. I didn't know there was a movie for it. o.o
