Read in November, 2008

Started off a little slow, maybe because he spent so much time introducing the characters. It just got a little old and before I knew it I was 1/2 way through the book and not much had happened. But good thing you don't read the beginning last.

I did like the story, I'm a sap for romance, I loved the character Logan.

On a side note I couldn't get past some of the writing. For being such a famous author I would think they would use spell check or something before they published it. (Ex. finally was fnally). They even spelled one of the main characters wrong (Clayton was Cayton). And maybe I don't know enough about writing, but there was a phrase used that didn't seem to fit in the spot it was used. 'It was all Thibault could do not to laugh'. I get what it is saying here, I understand the phrase, but what is "it"? Any English majors out there? Ok I'm dumb for thinking way too much into this.

I liked the book. Period.

Kezia I noticed that sentence too... I had to re- read it a few times before realized it must have been a mistake or something since it made entirely no sense haha


message 2: by Victoria (new) - added it

Victoria Huh? There's nothing wrong with that sentence. "It" is being used as a dummy subject. I find it rather hard to believe that neither of you have come across this before. It happens all the time!


Kirsty I agree Victoria. It is a very commonly used phrase (or variances of it. E.G. "it was all she could do to stop herself crying").


Corianne Yep, agree with the above comments... "it was all he/she could do..." : the phrase is very common. Haha.
