Overrated"


Hmm! Must be the reason I haven't picked it up yet then;D

Michael (knowledgelost) A lot of people liked it but I found my expectation was probably too high and I felt as disappointing as The Alchemist

Ha! I wasn't too rapt in that one either!

Mish | 3601 comments I didn’t mind Life of Pi......the situation he was in was a little bizarre but I found most of the parts to be quite humorous and entertaining

But you’re right KL you either love it or hate it, there’s no in between

Michael (knowledgelost) Uni hasn't stopped me at all :P (maybe I better do my assignements). starting another blog has no effect on it either (I need to read for that one).

message 128: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 33 comments In 2009 I managed 118 books, I'm hoping I might reach at least 100 this year, mainly because I have more than that waiting to be read. Michael is way ahead of me at the moment though, I better shift up a gear.
