I finished reading by Karen Kingsbury last night and I really disappointed with it. The plot was very predictable, irritatingly repetitive, contrived and not very well-written. The concept of the story was interesting but the author is not a good enough writer to pull it off. This novel was simply too formulaic, too sweet, too predictable, too simplistic, too everything I don't like. The entire novel had that 'la-la-land' feel to it.

I used to read a lot of Karen Kingsbury. But then I got sick of her books... for the same reasons. They were always so predictable, pretty much the same story line and the same characters...

I finished reading by Stef Penney this evening. Overall, I thought the novel was an interesting and mostly enjoyable read. There were some problems with it (not surprising in a debut novel), the plot became slow and tedious at times, there were too many characters - it was very hard to keep track of them all - and the author wrote all of her characters in the first person so sometimes it wasn't clear which character was doing the talking! I had to go back and re-read multiple chapters to figure out what was happening in the story, which was very annoying! The ending was very sudden. It came out of nowhere and it left too many storylines unresolved. I was left wondering WHERE is the rest of the story???

Reamde by Neal Steaphenson, my favorite author. Has anypne read The Baroque Cycle? It's a giant book, but well worth the time.

[Nicole D.]

I am rereading

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by S.E. Hinton last night. This was my first time reading The Outsiders. I never managed to get around to reading it as a teenager but I've heard so many people say it is one of their favourite books so I thought it was about time that I read it finally. And now that I've finished the book I can't believe I waited so long! The Outsiders is a gripping and compelling read which is full of suspense. It was also extremely heart-breaking and touching at times. The novel is very well-written, considering S.E. Hinton was just seventeen years old when she wrote it. I was amazed with the amount of depth and layers in this book. It really is wonderful. Five stars!

Hello peoples! *crazy wave* haven't been on here in AGES! But exams are over so "Dobby is a FREE ELF!"

Ah ha...um...

anyway, I changed the topic, so now it's grammatically correct. (Why didn't I think of it before? Ignoramus)

Anyway, I am currently reading "Anna Karenina" - or to be more exact I am currently nearing the end of AK! Hallelujah!! Nearly done, baby! I feel like I could do a roundhouse kick. But that's only a feeling and as we know, boys and girls, we can't trust those. Ok, I seem to be in a weird mood. Ima go and see what other threads I can hope into.

How are you liking Anna Karenina?I have it on my bookshelf and want to read it before the movie that came out in theaters last month comes on DVD.I love reading the book before I watch the movie so I can complain that they got it wrong lol.

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

Great to have you back!!

[Carolyn]

some people say anna karenina=real good...others say its bo-ring

[Carol]

Has anyone seen the film?
I saw it yesterday (limited release here)--- very surprising!

Joe Wright who directs this fim (also directed Pride and Prejudice, 2005 and Atonement, 2007) which I enjoyed -- his film shots, locations, perspectives. But this film (Anna Karenina, 2012) reminded me of Moulin Rouge, 2001 directed by Baz Luhrmann. It was not like his previous films. His transitioning scenes and music made me think it was more Luhrmann than Wright.

HEY lady disdain!!! missed you!!!!

[LadyDisdain]

It's great to be back, you guys :D

Well, it's a huge book so there's lots for people to like and dislike and I'm finding reasons for both. But there's a host of characters and it's definitely interesting to see them grow and change. That's probably my favorite bit.

Haha, same here! Always complain about literary adaptations. I have yet to see the film, hasn't been released here yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it anyway. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on it. There are other films, too, of course. I'll be trying to get my greedy little hands on those, too.
