This blog...
I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.
Ohh Sookie Stackhouse...how you entertain me so!! I cannot wait for the next book, I know there has to be another one because of all the loose ends. Probably multiple books if I am being realistic. And I wonder who the next guy is going to be...maybe we will get a new character...oooohhhh another hunk (hehe)!! We are due for a new man.
I have to admit that I am really unsure about which other character I like, the author does such a wonderful job with making me love and then hate characters...and then love again. I do not like to give books away, so I will be very cautious with my words. I will say that I almost laughed myself off the couch when the whole Alcide thing happened!!
I really cannot say what I was expecting when I picked up this book, but I can definitely say that it was not this. I will not say much about this book because I want others to form their own opinions. I will, however, say that I was very disappointed. There were endless possibilities of where this story could have gone, the one the author chose would not have been mine!
I have similar feelings as when I finished The Time Traveler's Wife and wished the author would find a new profession. I am inclined to think the Chris Cleave should do the same. I know this may sound harsh, but his only other opinion would be to go out and find true horror stories to write about openly and stop hiding behind the veil of fiction. I could just as easily read the world news and history books...
I will confess that I purchased this book as an audio book...my very first audio book. I was so concerned with the reader that I did not pay attention and accidentally got the abridged version, which I did not realize until the end of the 10 hours. I learned my lesson...I am going to go get the actual book from the library! (The copy my cousin gave me is in a box, inside another box in storage on the other side of the country!)
I will however say that I am in love with the abridged version!! The story is fabulous!! I cannot wait until I read the entire book. I will then give a full review to it....until then...Who is John Galt?
