"I was scared to start this book because I knew that I wanted to give it my full attention.. I really want to enjoy this. I was also a bit nervous about the length.. but it turns out like HALF of this book is notes/introduction by another man. BASICALLY I'VE STARTED AND I'M FEELING GOOD." 4 comments |

I'm glad that you guys are so excited, haha! SO AM I! :)
BEST BOOK EVER. And wow i have never seen that cover since seeing your video opening it.
I'd call this a successful first book exchange. We both really enjoyed the books we were sent <3
Fernando: You'll love it!Raeleen: INORITE?! It was perfect! Now I want to read Beautiful Creatures.. but it's packed away on a boat somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.. GAHH.
AHHHH DAS CRAY. Then once you read it, I can read it while you read Glow! CRAZYAYYYY
YES! That would be brilliant! Trade off extraordinaire!
Fernando: I KNOW OH MY GOODNESS. SO PRETTY. Excited to hear your thoughts!
This novel really hurts. It's just Great!
I find it fascinated how I can simultaneously not really like any of the characters and still love the book and story. You get to understand them and why they do what they do. That along with the beautiful writing and description of the world made me fall in love with it. Even though I didn't really like the characters, some how I cared for them and that made the story even more heart breaking in the best way possible!
I see where you were moved by the book as it resembles hope and dreams and the idea of imagining life as the ideal American Dream; however, Fitzgerald shows to all of his readers that hope and gazing in a fake wonderland of eternal perfection and accomplishment is merely that- a dream.
its really good and I Enjoyed this book its perfect
