I saw them today, lots of different views but I can honestly say I am not a die hard fan yet, so I am happy with my thoughts on the book :smile2:

Hi Bookworm, I really enjoyed it, I had never heard of it until I heard about the upcoming movie :smile2: so I was able to read all of the books in the one go, they are good, I can see myself reading them again :)

Finished 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, an amazing book, sad,poignant and at the same the warmth between the man and his son leaps off the page.

Finished 'The Outcast' by Sadie Jones which I really enjoyed, Lewis was such a lonely character, I felt bad for him.

 

I also finished For one more day by Mitch Albom , which was a lovely book, this is the second book I have read by Mitch Albom, the first one being 'Five people you meet in heaven'. 'For one more day' was well written and just a lovely story, I had a tear in my eye at the end.

 

:D
