I was surprised at how much The Virgin Suicides made me laugh... given the subject matter (I'd seen the film, so knew the plot) I didn't expect it to be a funny book. I remember crying at the end, but I finished reading it in bed on a Sunday, when I had a bit of a hangover - so the tears might have been more related to the hormonal rollercoaster that accompanies my hangovers. I think I was expecting it to be better... I did really enjoy the writing style and the fact it was first person plural made it a novel (haha) book to read.
I have to admit though, I think I like the movie more... I love Air and Kirsten Dunst.
I'm a sucker for HP books... I really enjoyed everything about Deathly Hallows, except the ending. It read like bad fan fic. Though obviously it was nice to know what happened.
