it was ok
bookshelves: young-adult, read-in-2009

I don't know why I had so much trouble reading this. As soon as I got trough the first 200 pages things were finally starting to look up. I get why Luce can't help herself when it comes to Daniel, but I'd have punched him in the face first before ever falling in love with him. And Cam... I felt disgusted every time he popped up. So don't get me started on him. I'm glad I finished it, but the story evolves so slow and it leaves many questions unanswered (that is why there is a sequel coming!).

Kim I don't know why I can't read anymore, it's like readers block or something. I want to read. I have time to read. But I just can't. *sighs*


message 2: by ~Tina~ (new)

~Tina~ That's what happened to me when I tried to read Need, so I put it back on my shelf and will start it when I have more patience with it.
I get like that when I read to many books at once. Maybe you need a break?


message 3: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim I blame it all on Need lol. I really wanted to read that and I was so disappointed... I'm gonna try and finish Fallen and then re-read something I know I like. If that doesn't work I'll take a break.


message 4: by ~Tina~ (new)

~Tina~ LOL!!! I've read a few chapters and can see what you mean about Need, but I think I need to put it away and come back to it later.
Fallen was a good book, but I had a few problems with it myself, I had to put it down to collect my thoughts, it's good, but it left a Helluva lot of freaken questions in the end!!

oliviasbooks Why don't they just sell it as a poster. It seems to me that would be entirely sufficient.


message 6: by ~Tina~ (new)

~Tina~ ...Which brings me to another problem with the book. The cover is gorgeous, but it didn't exactly fit the image in the story. But yes, it's purdy!


message 7: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim I agree with both of you. I had a similar conversation yesterday about Hush Hush. What is being hushed exactly? I haven't got a clue.

The title + the cover + the story = something that makes sense when you see them together.

Okay, I'm being a bitch about it, but it's the frustration talking. ^^


message 8: by ~Tina~ (new)

~Tina~ I don't really know what's being hushed LOL I think it's the fact that he's an angel? I LOVE that book though so I can't say much:D

No worries, if you can't talk and take out your frustrations about a book - on a book site, where else can you do it;)


message 9: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim Lol, I'm surprised I didn't write a long-winded rant review for this one. Looks like I was still young and impressionable back then ;)


message 10: by ~Tina~ (new)

~Tina~ No time like the present? ~smirks~


message 11: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim I forgot 97% of what happened in this book and there's no way I'm reading this again ^^


message 12: by ~Tina~ (last edited Jan 11, 2011 09:56AM) (new)

~Tina~ Good Point.

I'm gonna re-read this before I read the sequel. I don't remember much myself.


message 13: by Kim (new) - rated it 2 stars

Kim Tina, you're a trouper. I can't imagine putting myself through this torment ever again.

LOL Great pun, Kim:)

@ Tina, I HATED Torment because I though Luce was TSTL thoughtout the entire novel. Good luck with that one, Tina! (^_~)

~Tina~ I remember liking Fallen but at the same time I was pissed about ALLLL the unanswered questions, but that's me I guess, I like books that nobody seems to like. It makes me special XD jk
