QUOTE(Joanne @ Dec 23 2011, 01:50 PM)  ^ 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. QUOTE(smash @ Dec 28 2011, 10:24 PM) 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. QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Dec 29 2011, 11:20 AM) 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! QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Dec 29 2011, 11:21 AM) p.s. I just read The Great Gatsby. what did you think? p.s. NBA. what do you think? |
