bethany725 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Bethany, what're your feelings on this book? I've picked it up a few times (before it was made into the movie, or at least before I knew it'd been made into a movie), but haven't bought it yet. I'm about to page 120 or so, and it is REALLY good so far. The story is broken up into different little "episodes," if you will, and each one is its own little story. The stories are really interesting .. it may not be the "best written" book I've ever read, but it's certainly entertaining and good reading. I'd recommend you pick it up if you see it again since you're interested.. I would think it'd be hard to be bored by it. I'm making my way through it really quickly, and sometimes it's hard to put down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
