^ Phew, I was planning to get The Night Circus for a friend but wasn't too sure. And now that I've seen what you have to say about it, I know I won't. Thanks! I read so many good things about Room, but I also read that it's extremely repetitive because it's narrated by a 5-year-old. Did you think it was a problem at all? ahh, i'm SO glad you didn't! you can read my review of the book on amazon, haha: http://www.amazon.com/review/RD01C7RAHDVZU...=&linkCode= yeah, room is a good book, but i didn't recognize the repetitiveness that much. i think that could have been a result of how the boy told his routine every day, but once you realize the situation he and his mom are in, you get why he is repeating himself. Room looks interesting. I put Son of a Witch down. I am now reading The Girl Who Played with Fire (on my brand new nook color!) It's been a great page turner from page one. This one will finish fast. i just bought that book! i never intended to finish the series, but decided to pick it up anyway. I was going to read Room. Then I read what it was about and was like f*ck NO. SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I'm not into scary things. it's not scary! p.s. I just read The Great Gatsby. what did you think? p.s. NBA. what do you think? |
