My first Agatha Christie novel and I’m a bit disappointed. It’s a bit of a boring read and I feel it’s cut a little too short. Everything kind of happens in the last few pages and is slightly confusing. Miss Marple plays a small part in this book and an apparently rather dumb chief of police solves what ends up being a complex scheme.

So yeah, I wasn’t too impressed, but I won’t let it deter me from reading any of her other novels.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought of the movie, Practical Magic while reading this book. It’s similar in the fact that they are stories of two adult sisters, raised by women that were not their mothers and have gifts and talents that the average person does not. There’s also a bad guy which is the story’s antagonist, but I’m glad the author didn’t focus on that too much. Overall, it’s a light-hearted book and while pretty much predictable, it was enjoyable. It even involves a tree that has human-like mannerisms and feelings!

Glad this is over. I read it just to read it to say that I have. I found it mildly entertaining at best. Meyer overuses so many words and phrases in these books that it got on my nerves. The books (with the exception of Twilight) are very anticlimactic as nothing happens until the last 100 pages or so. And my overall impression with Bella is that she’s very annoying.

This book was pretty much useless and didn’t need to be included in the series at all. Like with all the other books in the Twilight series, there’s a small catalyst talked about in the beginning, it drags on for HUNDREDS of pages in the middle and the action doesn’t start until the last 100 pages or so. How many times do I have to read how “marble-like” Edward’s skin is? And furthermore our protagonist, Bella, is rather annoying.

I found the writing to be a bit cheesy and geared towards younger people (I’m 29) with the exception of the intimate scenes between Sookie and Bill. This is one of the very few times where I feel that the adaptation is better than the book. I much prefer the True Blood series on HBO than I did reading the book. There’s more substance to the characters and I love the addition of Tara and Lafayette.

Twists and turns and twists and turns. You may figure them out, you may not.

This is worth watching.

Ugh. This story is painful to read. I really struggled to finish this. It was interesting in the first part only somewhat, but then tetered off. The novel is really really wordy. It has flowery adjectives and is very descriptive in painful detail.

I feel like I’m in the minority when I say I don’t like this book, so don’t let my feelings deter you from reading it. I’m just glad that I can say I read it. Although I don’t understand why the word “love story” is used to describe this book. It’s a pedophilic obsession, not love. When you love someone, you don’t destroy their life.

Another classic book read under my belt.

Absolutely trashy in a Borat kinda way, but hilariously funny.

Fast read at less than 200 pages. If you’re looking for a funny read, this is not it. Basically this is one woman’s autobiography and how she filled her empty life with food.

Be careful, the way she talks about food might make you hungry.

Was I the only one who didn’t like this movie? I saw this in the theater with my husband and 7-year-old son when it first came out. I was utterly bored out of my mind during the entire thing. I looked at my watch more than once and even contemplated texting a friend during the movie.

There were a few parts that made me chuckle, but overall, I felt the movie was so predictable. I hate the fact that big name actors use their names to voiceover cartoons. The storyline and characters didn’t pull me in at all.

It seemed like all the funny parts were in the trailer, which made it seem funnier than what it was.

I think that if you like kung fu movies, you’ll like this better than I did. I have to say that I’m just not a Dreamworks fan. They only movies I can really stand from them is the Shrek series.
