Number 8

by Anna Fienberg

i can’t even begin to describe how much this book sucks. everything about is is cliched and contrived and obnoxious and flat-out laughable. don’t read it.

A story about "Before I Die"

Before I Die

by Jenny Downham

The best part of this book was that I didn’t THINK it would be any good at all, and then it was amazing. I love when that happens.

A story about "The General in His Labyrinth"

The General in His Labyrinth

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I was inspired to read this by the John Green book Looking for Alaska, but it was disappointing.

A review of "High Fidelity" (rated 4 stars)

High Fidelity

All the monologues were a bit awkward, but I think it mostly worked. And Jack Black is hysterical. But since I positively adore the book, the film couldn’t quite compare. I think the change of settings (London, 1995 to Chicago, 2000) kind of ruined the atmosphere. John Cusack is kind of sweet and endearing in this, though.

A question I have about "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)"

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

So did anyone ELSE cry in about 10 different scenes???

A review of "Friday Night Lights (Full Screen Edition)" (rated 4 stars)

Friday Night Lights (Full Screen Edition)

by Peter Berg

I liked it, but not quite as much as the TV show, which I am ADDICTED to. I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I saw the show first and it’s more modern and the boys are cuter. The show and the movie have a similar feel though, with the handheld videotaping, the choppy scenes, and the soundtrack by the same band, Explosions in the Sky. Good movie, WAY better than the book.

A question I have about "Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter (Analysis of Books 1-4)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (saxophonesweetie7) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 20:29:31 GMT

Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter (Analysis of Books 1-4)

by Galadriel Waters

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

by David Yates (II)

Anyone else at the premiere in Grand Rapids on July 10th? Ahhhhhhhh that was so great.

A review of "Uglies" (rated 2 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (saxophonesweetie7) — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 20:05:51 GMT

Uglies

by Scott Westerfeld

I guess the story/concept was interesting enough, but the writing style seemed really elementary and forced. I don’t know. Just didn’t do it for me. I really WANTED to like this book, but now I don’t think I’ll bother to finish the next two.

A Year in the World: Journeys of A Passionate Traveller

by Frances Mayes

there were a few good parts, but it seemed like all the characters did was eat.
