*high five back* That's a relief. But even with TMI, I keep searching for any mention of TID there is. Which is a lot of parts that frustrate me greatly. Sigh.

Exactly!! It was crazy how quickly they mentioned one! On like page 5 or something they mentioned Isabelle's necklace (view spoiler) and it made me so so happy :)
Oh, yes... And I think my heart stopped when they mentioned Tessa's clockwork angel. !!

Exactly!! I just had tears of joy and happiness :)
Minus the tears, but emotion rising like a tide.

Oh agreed!! I just wish I could live in that world forever! :)
That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Count me IN.
The worst case of book-ending depression I ever had was when I finished Wildwood Dancing. It was truly amazing. That fateful night I stayed up to finish it was simply the best and most meaningful nights the world. When I finished it, though ~ I was emptySo empty
I woke up feeling empty
Went to school feeling empty
Walked the perimeter of the school feeling nothing at all
Went home in a daze
Stared at homework for three hours
Went to bed and cried

It was over!
God, I feel that way with every book. After the lying around incubation period comes the venting to your friends over email, telling them that it is over and you feel empty, and maybe feeling a little bit better when they react the way they have the first fifty times I've sprung this on them. In a world where something that fantastic is over, it's nice to know that some things never change.
Yeah, put-on reactions always make me feel better.
And don't forget the sad music. There's no escaping my rein of depression through blasting sad music at every hour of the night if you live with me.
As long as it sounds good, I'll move in with you.
*packs stuff* How much room do you have?
Not much. It's covered in books! Literally, my mind has programmed itself to step over all my books when I'm half asleep in the mornings.
Ahh *drops three boxes* Covered in books is fine; it's the covered in floor thing I hate.
I can't stand bookshelves. Don't ask me why. I keep all of my beloved books in a pile beside my bed.
Oh, I'm still coming, it's just you surprised me a little *drops the box with a DIY bookshelf in it*
Ha. Oh, yay. I know, I'm weird. I'm the only nerd who doesn't dote on bookshelves. Couldn't figure out the Dewey Decimal System to save my life, what's more. More's the pity...
What? Aw, anyway, I'm bad at it was my point.
Ok. *dumps stuff on WordlesslyAmazed03's floor*
Haha! :D I see you're also obsessed with Dictor Who.
Correction: Doctor Who. And yes, I am obsessed. *puts several box sets on display*
Sorry. Typo. Cool. Welcome, fellow geek. :)
Thank you *presents WordlesslyAmazed03 with some T-shirts:*
Niiiiiice!! I'm all for the blatant refusal to see a book's movie because you know they'll ruin it!!
None so far. I'm still hoping. Except for maybe Lord of the Rings. \
Oh, and goodnight. *falls on floor*
Which is the RP way of saying; It's midnight and I've really got to get some sleep, bye.
Oh, it's midnight where you are? Sorry, it's ten in the morning here. Night!
A Monster Calls kind of kicked my heart at the end. The worst part was that I knew why it was going to be sad right when it described his mom. I was like, "There is no way I'll cry, I already know what's going to happen and I'm only 20 pages in." Nope. I bawled for an hour or two.. not sure exactly, everything was blurred by tears. I kind of sat in my bed, rocking back and forth and trying to stifle my sobs (my parents were asleep in the next room). This was me:
See, that's how I feel about it. Is it worth reading to the end?
I thought so, but your opinion might be different. The way Patrick Ness ties in the nightmare to the end is beautifully horrible and sad. Hard to explain, but I think you should read it.. after all, it's not an extremely long book in the long run.
But I have to say, his style of writing makes me want to punch something. Can't stand it.
It irritates me. It feels like he's jumping from one sentence to the next and leaving huge gaps in between. Does that make any sense?
It does, I guess I just didn't notice it while I was reading. It was late.. xpMaybe you should give it another go and try not to analyze as much, but just read to read, you know? It normally works for me, though I can see how hating the writing could pose a problem :p
Ah, but I'm not the sort of person who can "just read".
I understand you. Maybe just try again then.. it couldn't hurt, it's still only 200ish pages (with pictures). :)
It could hurt a great deal. But I'll try it at some point. If there's one thing I know about myself, it's that I'll try it again one day.
