Devious Read(er)s - Ishita ♥ Ipshita
I found the first few chapters very mundane. The train scenes? Only where Bruno started talking about murder. Not the rest. The murder? So completely undramatic -_-It kinda bored me. There wasn't any thrill in it. He even got away -_-

hey Fong :-) :-)"
I'm the girl Misha :\
Don't tell me you couldn't deduce from my name -_-
And who on Earth believes Shin? -_-
:P
Mish, I'm glad. ^_^And before you have further doubts after "Ishita's" comment, I just want to say that "she" is a guy masquerading as a girl. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
So much deviousness. XD
@Ishita I was just kidding. lol :-D :-D u r a pretty girl :-) :-) hey Fong.. sup?? how u?? how's life??

Oh I agree! The murder was so.. silly. It was so damn easy, I wanted to punch Bruno. I mean, why was there no suspense? And how could it have been so sudden and without protest. Luck takes one only so far. -_-
Shin- maybe the thread has that vibe. Everyone wants to live up to it XDMish- oh sorry :P Thanks :)
How're ya?
A guy masquerading as a girl? Sure you are not mistaken? :PMish - life's good, calm, peaceful, cool :P
"Ishita", is it a lot of fun? Pretending to be a guy?I remember a time when everyone was confused about a certain being's gender.
Do you wish to create the same confusion with this particular picture too? Oh, I get it now. ;)

Shin- always so precisely correct ;)
And oh, I haven't had all the fun yet. There's so much more I still wanna do ;)

Forget that, could you believe how easily he found her? :O
I mean, he just went with his instinct and BAM! I mean, are you serious? -____-
And that didn't even sound like the Miriam Guy was talking about! Sure she didn't seem very sensible but she didn't sound like that either. Bruno's description sounded more like a girl with her boyfriend in a bunch of high school kids. So annoying how easy that was!

That certain being need only change a picture. And behold... CHAOS!"Ishita", wow you believe in my talent. ^_^
You sure want to have some "fun".

Yes, the whole amusement park thing was pretty absurd. Deus ex machina has a limit! I mean, where was the chase, dammit? -_-

I was hoping that it'd turn out that she was a different Miriam. In fact, even until the next day when Guy found out. I thought maybe he'd not get the call at all and blah blah and suddenly Bruno would call him to tell him abut it and then it'd turn out that it was the wrong Miriam. That would've been a little shock at least!
I think there's so many things absurd about the book in only so far that I am in no hurry to complete it anymore :\
I was waiting for the SAME thing! :O :OBut that was not to be. I want to know what happens next. The ratings are pretty high on this one. I need to know. Plus I'm reading it for a challenge. So, I HAVE to. :P
Which chapter are you in? Made any progress from 14?

@Jins No, my mother didn't allow because of the rain. I just recovered from fever so that's why. But my cousin went.
I am reading it for a challenge too. I signed up for it months ago but it completely slipped out of my mind :PMe too. But I think I was just so utterly unaffected by the story till now that I am starting to loose interest :\
I am so dam interested in the author though. She's known for it so there HAS to be something good! I desperately want it to be good, I suppose :\
Nope! I didn't read last night, I fell asleep. I'll read further tonight. Let's hope it at least gets better if not GOOD!

He loves mysteries and my life is "full of twist" after all XD

I was hoping for the same :/
If it goes on like this long enough, I'll loose all interest and moreover, I'd be utterly disappointed. I was thinking of starting her Ripley series next :\Oh but wait. Ipshi? I'll wait till next year if you think you can make time for it? :)
Okay then we'll read it next year :DSo excited for that one!
Should we add those books to our cool reads? :P
I just started again. On 20 now.The book isn't slow, it's mundane actually. Undramatic as of yet.
But know what Ipshi? Helen (the crime group buddy?) she tells me she liked the book when she read it the first time. So I guess it must get good later. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
Also I wanted to ask you something ^_^
I know, even I have to check the name first :PAnd I can't take any credit for the spamming. I wasn't even present then :P
Yeah? Which one?So I guess that means you won't be able to start another one with me tonight? Shin and Abhay are reading this book that has a really good plot. It's a crime thriller. And Abhay praises the author immensely. It's called The Prisoner of Birth. I wanted to do it so I told them I'll start tonight. Would you join too? :)
And I have a few suggestions for our further reads too :P wbu?
Lol, I just noticed :PAnd it wasn't spamming :P we were discussing the book. I called ipshi too but she got in a little late :\
Anyway, let's see how much we've progressed by tonight and on any real progress, let's discuss. What say? :)
A category romance novel, but it's not that interesting anyway. I can read with you but what about SOAT?
It's very mundane as of yet, ishi. Not what I expected of the author :\But I am desperate for the book to be good. I have such high expectations! Anyway, my crime buddy tells me she remembers liking it so I'd like to take her word for it :P
She's rereading with us :)
I'll read dono sath me. I asked you if you could because you started another novel :PSo do you think you'd be able to read them simultaneously? Or do you wanna put SoaT on hold? I'll have to complete it for a challenge lekin..

Oh! Well, just hope your crime buddy is right then! :)
It sucks when a book isn't as good as it seemed :/
Yeah but it sucks more when the author doesn't deliver :\And to think that she's KNOWN after more than 50 years of her death for her psychological thrillers? I'd be heart broken! :(
The crime mystery? No but I was gonna suggest that :DI've heard brilliant things about it and it's a favorite amongst all my crime group friends! Wanna do it? :D
Have you hear of Ulysses? I ordered the paperback last night :P
It's a very good thriller too. I'd like to do it for my Massive Tome challenge :P
I also ordered Predictably Irrational :D Fong liked the book and I got a good deal on it- 60% off!
