~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments This piques up my interest, maybe I can try! :P :P

Hows E&P going, Puri? Or should I say, how was it (assuming that you are a superhuman, according to Shin)? :D

Hshhaha I am loving it... And even if she say I am superhuman ...I am still not... I didn't finish it .not because I couldn't but because what is the fun in finishing a book when your Buddy is still reading... I'll go with her pace ... Meanwhile reading other books :P


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments Puri- Aww.. Itna pyaar! ^_^
Yea, really there's no fun in going ahead, because discussing gets difficult that way. :)
Set a chapter target or else, and then discuss it when u both reach it.. We do this in our thread. Me and Ginny! :P

And I'm sooooooooo happy that you're loving my best bookfriends! ^__^

Hey Tizz ... Yup ..isn't it about a dead girl who doesn't remember who she is and how she died.... And only one boy can see her ?


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments Puri- I lovvvvvveeee his dad.. I love his whole family.. The much as I hate Eleanor's family. >_<
Except for her and Ben maybe. :)


message 527: by Purvika (new)

Purvika (violetstygian) | 3067 comments I finished...


message 528: by Purvika (new)

Purvika (violetstygian) | 3067 comments All the cursing in the book... Imagine me saying it out loud to Richie. I hate Eleanor's mom. I hate her husband....both of them. God... I am just so freaking pissed at these step dads... I just don't have words. I loathe them. Absolutely loathe them.


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments Ritchie is an absolute arse. I loved Park when he went and kicked that filthy being, after Eleanor left. I was almost screaming out to Park to burn that creature alive! Arghhhh! How can someone be so so disgusting?

How did you people like the ending? :)

The ending was sweet.... But.

I expected an epilogue ... The ending kind of ruined my read ... Sigh there is always something that is missing.


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments That was exactly Rowell's intention. She wanted to let us think what could happen to our Eleanor and Park.

Puri, you got the paperback or the ebook? Rowell writes something about the ending, because everyone became mad after seeing those 3 little words, and nothing else. :D
You read that kya?

EBook. Hmmm.....


message 533: by Purvika (new)

Purvika (violetstygian) | 3067 comments No, you don't get my point. I didn't expect or wanted a conventional ending where both run to each other kissing or what.... I wanted something unconventional .... Something Eleanor. I mean I wanted the ending on Eleanor.. That still held the same meaning what it does now but totally blown the roof kind of effect that complete book had on me...


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments You read that?
She said, "People were telling me why I couldn't give a happy ending to the book. But 17-year olds do not have happy endings. They have happy beginnings."

This was enough to melt my heart. ^_^ And it was so true.

Purvika (violetstygian) | 3067 comments ~~Poulomi Nymphadora Tonk$~~ wrote: "Puri- Hmm.. What did you want it to be like? The epilogue? Something related to the future? :)"

Maybe... Something like this.

Eleanor.

She felt bad when letters came everyday but worse when they stopped. The postcard lay on top mocking her reminder of something she lost with her own hands.

Park

Eleanor hadn’t written him a letter.

It was a postcard. ‘Greetings from the Land of 10,000 Lakes,’ it said on the front. Park turned it over and recognized her scratchy handwriting. It filled his head with song lyrics.

He sat up. He smiled. Something heavy and winged took off from his chest.

Eleanor hadn’t written him a letter, it was a postcard.

Just three words long.


Eleanor

It was summer now. Exactly one year and six months since she saw him. She still smelled his shirt while going to bed. Still wore the necklace. She went along with Dani to the camp knowing her aunt won't hear no for an answer. She kept seeing Park everywhere. Her room. Kitchen. Wall mart. Everywhere. Smiling that adorable smile at her. Stupid Asian guy. So it wasn't out of normal for her when she saw him leaning against his Impalla when they crossed the field. He waved she waved and she kept walking. She jerked to a stop after few steps and turned like those cartoon characters in the comics park used to give her. He kept his hand on his heart and bowed his head. They stared at each other and then he waited.

He waited

He still waited.


And then she took her first step towards him.

Purvika (violetstygian) | 3067 comments Maybe something like this :)


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments Purvi- That was beautiful. :')
And I get what you say.. An epilogue could be expected from such a story. :)

Its always going to be beautiful with Eleanor and Park, isn't it? :)
And everyone will build upon a happy epilogue as you did because that's the beauty of the story; you can't imagine anything bad to happen to Stupid Asian Guy or the Weird Redhead. Maybe Rowell intended to keep it that way, because you couldn't read that book and possibly not fall in love with them. Maybe she knew that we all knew- Eleanor and Park were meant to be. Forever.
:)

The best part of the end, Rowell said, was that Eleanor, overcame her insecurities, all her doubts, and wrote that postcard. She always had this thing that their story won't last long. But later, she knew.
And those 3 words were something that made Park's heart flutter and fly with joy. :) Oh man! I love them still so much.. :')


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments Yayyy! 4 stars.. :D

Shiny and Pearl, know that I'm going to forever love you two for reading 2 of my favourite books..and loving them too.. ^_^

Hahahaha I just wanted the ending with eleanor... I was more sucker for her than park. Stupid Asian guy. Freaking weird girl.


~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~ | 1579 comments Purvi- I completely empathize with you.. Sometimes you expect a lot more from a book, and you feel bad when you're disappointed. :)
When this book ended, I hugged it and slept that way all through the night. And guess what, I saw Eleanor and Park in my dream, listening to Park's walkman in the bus, laughing away. :D
And of course, holding hands. Holding a butterfly. That was one of my favourite parts. The first time they held hands. ^_^

My favorite parts were...when he first time..put earphones on her hair without actually touching her.

When he spin that silk in his finger and slip his hand in hers and rubs his thumb over her palm.

When he says I want to show you something :p

When he put those Comics on her seat without a word.


Sigh... So many of them ....
