Are we talking about Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale? Because if we are, I couldn't be more confused. Never before have I heard of a person who didn't like that book And this is the second thread on disliking The Thirteenth Tale that I've come across on this forum! Or was the Finnish translation just so good that it made a poor read fantastic? That would be a first... Seriously speaking, I liked most of the characters and I really enjoyed the storyline and was surprised at the twist in the end. It was one of those books that you want to read in one sitting. If there's anyone on the fence with this book, go ahead and give the book one try, there's no harm done.

I didn't like Virgin Suicides, neither as a book or a film, partly because However, I really enjoyed Middlesex and I had to buy it for myself after reading it. It wasn't too long for me, I loved how the novel tells the "saga" of three different generations, the first generation's actions being the cause of future events and problems. I recommend!

A prequel to The Shadow of the Wind?? I hardly ever buy any books as new, I buy them secondhand (or borrow from the library), but this is so worth making an exception! The Shadow of the Wind is one of my favorite books. Too bad I read this thread now instead of June 2009, how can I stand the wait

Ron from Harry Potter. He has a fantastic sense of humour. And it helps that Rupert Grint who plays Ron in the films is really darn cute Severus Snape from Harry Potter. He is such a complex person, I think he should have his own book series. And my all time favorite: Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities. What can I say, I really feel for him.
