I thought that while this one was good, it wasn’t the be all, end all of books as I had been hearing about. I had never read a Rainbow Rowell book before but I had read her short story in the anthology My True Love Gave To Me. It was my favourite story in there so I knew I would be a fan of at least the writing style in Carry On. However, the book felt too short even though it was over 500 pages and it left me wanting

This book wasn't my cup of tea to say the least. I realize it's a satire on books like Harry Potter. I did find some parts funny which is a miracle as I have a low sense of humor.

Thankfully I was reading another book I was and am wholeheartedly enjoying. ...more
