I'm so glad to hear it! I have Breaking Point, but haven't gotten to it yet! I loved Article 5!


message 20952: by T.R. (new)

T.R. Raven | 6 comments Scarlette I've read about 20% and so far I'm totally in love with it! It does a good job of making 'adult me' feel like 'child me' all over again with a well written take on a classic fairytale. I will review it when I've finished.

I know, it was very different, but I still enjoyed it! I liked the boy who played Ethan way better than I thought I would! There were so many boy-girl funny moments throughout the movie, even my hubby was entertained!

LOL No doubt, Ryan would make it perfect! I actually read your review before deciding whether or not to do a blog review for it, and you sold me on it! =) It's not as racy as I usually go for, which is why I distinguish it as 'chick lit' since they trend that direction, but I loved it for the characters, the humor, and for how real the story felt. It was great!

Giselle i've started reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell because of the movie (i just needed to know more!)but in the middle of it i decided to take a break and read Looking for Alaska by John Green then i recently started and almost completed Paper Towns by John Green ...i think cloud atlas will forgive me for leaving him alone for a while, its not like i don't know what happens.

Agreed! It would be great for Cremer to redeem herself in this, for us. But until then, I stand by my heartache. And wait on buying the novella. I'm surprised they charge that much for only 20 pages...that's ridiculous. I can see maybe 100 pages like Mafi's novellas but they are much longer. I would get it if it was .99 but not 2.99

I want to read it, but like I said if it was cheaper...I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. But it's only 20 pages. :( That price is for full-length novels. I think they should have had it free to read. That would get alot of people to get it that were mad about Bloodrose. Darn.

I do love Adne and I know it's her short after the events of Bloodrose. I loved her character and felt horrible for her after all she went through. That's why I was so upset with what happened to Ren. They JUST got to know they were...ya know what they are(don't want to spoil for those who have not read it yet) so it was just too heartbreaking to see her suffer more. And of course because I was a Ren fan from the beginning. But yes, if it goes down in price, I will certainly get it. I am too curious now. lol
