A Walk to Remember

Ahhh 1 of my favourite authors..Nicholas Sparks.
He never fails to make me feel like crying.

His books are awesome!
A Walk to Remember is also another darn good book.
A pity that it's kinda short though.
But nonetheless, it provided me 6 hours of joy and sadness.

Jamie is just such a lovable character, while Landon is a typical wise ass teenage boy.
I loved the way Sparks wrote Landon's part. It is exactly how a 17 year old would speak.

Part I loved most? The ending. The ambigularity the ending presented represented a sense of hope, at least for me.
I would like to interpret the ending as, Jamie lived. =)

Some gripes about the book, I thought it could be longer...to further develop the character's feeling and make the ending that much more impactful..
But thinking again, would it have left the same effect on the readers if Sparks was to extend the book and further develop the story?

=))

Bob is veyr satisfied now..2 great books in 2 days.

Next up, another Sparks novel. =))

VA: SpiritBound

Ok. I finished this in 2 days.
Before everything else, I have to say, this book is AWESOME!!

I had high expectations of this book..thank goodness, it didn't disappoint. In fact it exceeded my expectations.
I love how Richelle mixed in love, action and suspense. Throw in a dash of vampirism(is there even such a word??) in there and u get a damn good book.

Spiritbound picks up where Blood Promise last left off.
Rose failed to kll Dimitri, and now he is out hunting for her.
Shall not spoil the story..get it for yourself if you want to find out.

Vampire Academy is one series that I absolutely adore.
Unless House of Night, VA is so much better illustrated.
Better storyline, better character development, better plot.

I can't wait for the next book! VA: Last Sacrifice. Coming out in DEC 2010!!

Must Read book!!!

The Ice Cream Girls

Finally finished this book. Been stuck on this book since July.
Been reading up for my DM theory..so didn't have time to read..

Ok review.
I bought the wrong book.
I thought this book would be similar to My Best Friend's Girl, afterall it's by the same author.
Apparently I'm totally mistaken.

This is nothing like My Best Friend's Girl.
This book is more like a psychological thriller.
I felt that this book is a waste of time. Nonsensical ending if you ask me.
Then again, I'm totally biased because it wasn't the type of book I was looking for.
I was practically struggling to turn the next page..took quite an effort to finish the book.

Next up, Vampire Academy: Spiritbound.
High expectations for it! VA is one of the best vampire series book I've read.
I'm so looking forward to read this book..I thought it was not published yet.
But it was out since May..=(

Busy Busy!

No time to read my books these days...
I'm still stuck on The Ice Cream Girls.
I think I bought the wrong book =(
Turns out it isn't like My Best Friend Girl..it's more of a crime thriller..
But who knows, maybe the story will turn out fantastic.

Been busy with diving now..don't have much time to read.
Reading PADI manuals =P.


Will review once I'm done with The Ice Cream Girls.

My Nicholas Sparks is waiting for me omg...

Meanwhile, I need some solitude back =(
I would so love to have only me myself and I for afew days..

Turns out my personality test quite accurate ar...Introverts lose energy in a group, while gain energy when alone.
