Book Craze~
Thursday, July 23, 2009
Well, i've been on a book craze lately. like i've been cooping myself in the room just reading for hours at a time! just finished jodi picoult's "My Sister's Keeper" which was alright. the story was not really what i expected but the twist didn't really give me that 'OMG!' exciting feeling but more of the 'WTH?! like that also can...' kind of feeling which kind of puts me off. Haha. but the ideas in the book are pretty controversial... which is kind of interesting to see how the story is going to unfold since she has a knack for writing stories with situations that make you torn in two. (well, from what i've seen from her other titles) so yeah, interesting but i felt abit cheated in the end... haha.
ok, another book i just finished today was "Sing to the Dawn" which in my opinion turned out pretty crap... i didn't like it at all. Sure it was about female rights and equality in a poor village or smth but the main character was so headstrong about going to the city to study despite the fact that she's taking her brother's chance yet when she's about to leave, she was being so reluctant and undecisive to the extent that she didn't feel like going anymore! wth?! she should have considered THAT point before fighting to grab that opportunity in the first place... feeling sad i can understand... feeling sad til the point she's getting 2nd thoughts doesn't sound like she can do much with that education that she CLAIMED with so much fervour in the first place when convincing her dad. so in the end she went but i actually favoured her brother going towards the end of the book.
anyway... anyone has any nice books to recommend? i'm running out of stuff to read. Haha~ going to read "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" next. hope its nice... smth i picked at random the last time. well, Ja ne~ :)
