Charm Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Charm, glad to hear that you liked it so much! But wasn't it a rather disturbing read? I was appalled at some of the things in it, only I managed to read like 50 pages before I quit so I don't know how it continues. Gonna read it sometime though! Have you thought about reading other books by that author (can never remember his name)? I wouldn't say I was appalled no, however some of the bits were a bit hard to read but they did help to give a feel to the developement of some of the characters. I definately would recommend you try again, the underlying story is basically a tale of friendship, although if you've sworn of vampires for a while, maybe not!

catwoman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Glad you enjoyed the Sookie books and love your little farewell speech! If you have the Psb's at least you've still got True Blood to watch Hope you enjoy Sookie, its a bit more 'adult' than Twilight well I quite liked Twilight. I have just finished my review. I hope you like it Charm, I tried to be as honest as I could. As for Sookie. Yeah I have the night off so once the kids are in bed I am going to hit the book, I have a feeling that it could be a all nighter, my OH has informed me that after watching the show he went to Wallmart and bought the first book and read it in two days!!! He finished it last night and said it was amazing and he has not read a book in 6 years or so!! So I am expecting it to be amazing haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to be in your shoes now, how can you choose between reading the Twilight sequal or the Sookie book??! Edit: Almost forgot, I just finished Rape: A Love Story. A very touching and great read and yet so painful. Edited September 22, 2009 by frankie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was an easy decision after all It must be really awesome to have your OH actually reading a book and enjoying it so much he can't wait for you to read it so you can discuss it Maybe he'll read the other Sookie books as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I hope you like it Charm, I tried to be as honest as I could. I read it and, as always its a great review! Definately not as gushy as mine It must be really awesome to have your OH actually reading a book and enjoying it so much he can't wait for you to read it so you can discuss it This would be my dream *sigh* I so wish my OH would read more, he reads about 2 or 3 nights a week when he goes to bed for approximately 10 mins or until his eyes close, whichever comes first It took him 8 months to read his last book but I've given him a Deaver to read so hopefully he'll get hooked!

I'm sure he won't be able to close his eyes when he starts reading Dear Dexter, he'll be too afraid to go to sleep! So he can keep on reading Very cunning indeed!

I imagine he'll get just as hooked on Mr Deaver's The Blue Nowhere, well that was the plan anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is nice, normally if I mention a book he just asks if it has been made into a movie, if I say yes then he says he will watch the movie and we can compare or if I say no then he says can't be that good then! I read it and, as always its a great review! Definately not as gushy as mine This would be my dream *sigh* I so wish my OH would read more, he reads about 2 or 3 nights a week when he goes to bed for approximately 10 mins or until his eyes close, whichever comes first It took him 8 months to read his last book but I've given him a Deaver to read so hopefully he'll get hooked! Awe thanks charm! Thats really nice of you to say that. My OH said he read his at work, while it was quiet. Normally if he tries and reads, he never gets past the blurb on the back I am hoping that the books will get a love for books. As for your OH reading Deaver, what better books can their be?!!

frankie Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Deaver hun, not Dexter but you've given me a great suggestion for his next read! I imagine he'll get just as hooked on Mr Deaver's The Blue Nowhere, well that was the plan anyway Ooops Well Deaver is just as good, if somewhat different. Deaver will have him hooked with his quick twists and turns, soon your OH will be calling in sick at work Then you'll have to think about whether his reading is so great or not Catwoman, good to hear your OH has got the next two books You seriously need to get reading, woman! Your OH needs to realise that it doesn't matter if the book's been made into a movie or not, because sometimes (well, most of the times!) the book's better than the movie. But this is very good progress you're having at the mo, let's see how it goes! I'm unsure what to read next. I think it should be something that can be read rather quickly, I don't want to start anything that'll take too much time or occupy my mind too much.

frankie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I gotta say this Evil at Heart is really good, really gripping! I usually don't like hardbacks because they're heavy and difficult to read in bed, but surprisingly this time it feels really good having a hardback after reading so many pocketbooks of Sookie, worrying about not creasing the spines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
