Oh dear! I wasn't expecting that

Not heard that one before. Hehe.

I like your rating system. And I hope you like Eclipse, it's my favourite in the series!

Ooh, I could never do that! I've had some of my older books for years that I still haven't read because they just don't appeal.

I hope you enjoy this one. It was my one of my favourites by her.

I agree with Ben; a great review.

I believe in miracles. The Death and Life of Charlie St.Cloud - Ben Sherwood.

Is that it? You must have a lot of self control!

Good review . Very similar to what a lot of others seem to say about Twilight. Just to say, I've read The Host and I think it's on par with Twilight, if not better. The beginning is incredibly slow but you should definitely continue with it as it's well worth it.

Ahh, it seems a lot of people had a similar experience when reading Twilight. I know I did. It took me a week to read the series.

:jump:You like my favourite book of all time!! Yay! (Noughts & Crosses). I hope you enjoy the other three. Although I personally don't think they're as good as the first one, they're all fantastic reads.

From what I've heard, and the parts that I've seen, the movie is much better!

My boyfriend and me were going to see this tonight but neither of us can be bothered! I would like to see it at some point though.

Thanks for this . I watched about a third of it this morning but the rest had been deleted by youtube. I was so annoyed, it seemed really good. And Kell, you're right, Angelina seemed fantastic.

Wow! I didn't even know that Ring was a book. I'm tempted to add it to my wishlist but I'm not a fan of thrillers/horrors!

6. Girl, Interrupted - Susanna Kaysen (11.02.09-11.02.09) In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital to be treated for depression. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital renowned for its famous clientele - Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor and Ray Charles. Susanna provides a brief insight into the life of an eighteen year old girl diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and living on a psychiatric ward. The book reads as if it's snippets from a diary or selected sections of her mind; for the most part it's honest and blunt. Some statements pose questions for the reader to consider but these go unanswered due to the tone of the book. The way it's written fits in with the nature of the subject, as each chapter does not flow from the previous one easily, at times they appear random. However, this does not subtract from how quick and easy it is to read as it can be read in one sitting without difficulty. The fact that it is an easy read is testament to how it is written; the reader feels somewhat distant from not only Susanna but also the numerous events experienced by her as they're described in a very brief way. Only towards the end does the reader receive a deeper insight into Susanna's character. Considering that the book is about mental illness, it should be a lot more difficult to read than it is. From reading the book, I am intrigued to watch the movie to see how each girl is portrayed. However, seeing as the book is so short and lacks detail, I can imagine the viewer gaining more from the movie. The book is almost like the 'blueprint'. Overall, a relatively interesting read that lacked detail and as the reader, I gained little from. I wouldn't say it's a must read by a long shot but it's not a waste of time either. If you ever get the chance to read it, I'd say go for it but don't expect a lot. 6/10

Probably one of the first people to say that! As a film, it was awkward and some of the acting wasn't great but I loved it just because it was Twilight!

People ask, How did you get in there? Girl, Interrupted - Susanna Kaysen

Thanks so much for that. I like the look of that Blogger one. Do a lot of people tend to go on them? I'd worry that no-one would want to read it.

I'm guessing it's set in the same 'world' as the women of the otherworld series, do you have to have read those first? Or are they entirely seperate?

By far his best out of the lot and quite enjoyable. I laughed out loud at some parts! Hehe. Aw, thank you! I might think about it, I just wouldn't know where to start with one.

I've had that for so long, I just keep putting it off. I only bought it because I've got so many of hers. I doubt I'll ever read it to be honest!

I guess you always know that with Ceceilia Ahern you're going to get a 'fairytale' of some kind, so maybe that's why she continues to sell loads. Doubt I'm going to buy The Gift though.

"Valley Twilight author Stephenie Meyer felt the sharp sting of a poison-tipped Stephen King barb when the horror writer spoke recently to USA Weekend, comparing Meyer to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people. . . . The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good." But King softened the blow, adding, "People are attracted by the stories, by the pace, and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books" (Sourced from Google!) Ouch. I think he favours Harry Potter.
