PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe I finished Jellicoe Road in one piece. My body is still jerking from some of the series of events that happened in this book.
I really wish I'm in a right frame of mind to give this story the proper review it truly deserves, But right now my emotions are on a high
Running helter skelter into emotion land. All I can say for now is that this book is AMAZING. The Awesomeness of it has not be exaggerated at all, it meets all my expectations and more. OK, maybe a bit confusing for the first quarter of the book, but once you get your teeth sink into it, it becomes really really hard to let go.
This is the second book I've read from Melina Marchetta and she continue to impress me even more than the last book I read. She has this unique way of writing her characters that forces you to care deeply for each and everyone of the them to the point that you almost holding on to dear life that nothing happens to these people you come to love so much.
Seriously Merchatta, where have you been my whole life.

Really, really hope you like this, Mayomi. It was my favourite book of 2010. Enjoy the Marchetta challenge! Unfortunately, I only have one of her books left to be read - Looking for Alibrandi. Makes me kind of sad because I fear it's going to be a long time until another one comes out here ...
Thanks Janina, I'm really looking forward to reading all her currents books. I've heard wonderful things about her. Sorry to hear that you only have one book left to read :(
Definitely stick it out, Mayomi. The first part is rough--I started it once and then just left it for months. You'll fall into it soon enough:-/ (and you'll love it just like the rest of us!)
Thanks for the encouragement darl. Nic and Janina said the same. The wonderful reviews from you guys is what keeping me going. Sigh!!!!
LOL! I believe you! I've heard great things about this, so you're right there with my other fellow trusted readers. :)
Anyway, My Melina Marchetta Challenge is now currently active.
Book 1: Many to go. Can't Wait ;)
