A Night in Rodanthe

OMG can't imagine that I forgot to post this book.
Well if I forgotten to post this book, it probably already mean something.
Another read from Nicholas Sparks, I kinda felt this book was mundane.
His style of writing this book kinda gave the plot away.
It was quite obvious that Paul would die in the end. (Wow i still remembered the guy name..)

Would still have to say it was a decent read.
Not as polished as Dear John, True Believer or At First Sight.

For me, it kinda felt like the notebook.

Anyway, after pondering for awhile, I've finally decided that True Beliver and At First Sight are the best of his books.
In fact, they are probably the 2 stories I remember the most(well kinda 2 stories, since they are linked)
Next best would be Dear John and The Last Song.

Thing I remembered most about The Last Song was in fact the emotions I felt while reading the book..I could still vividly remember how sad I was when Dad died...and how they came together to finish the stained glass piece..

Dead and Gone + Dead in the Family

Books 9 and 10 of the Southern Vampire Mysteries!
What can I say..with long series like this, normally I just read it for the plot.
Characters and events weren't really well developed.
I guess it was still forgivable for characters, since they have been around for awhile.
However, I felt like just someone reading a book.
I wasn't really pulled into the fantasyworld, like I get from reading a good book.
Quite afew characters died in the Fae war, and another close to Eric died in book 10..but those deaths didn't make an impact one me. It was like writing: CLAUDINE DIED.
No big bang and not much emotion placed into the writing of the scene.

To conclude, I read these series to just continue the plot. Plot wise, it was ok..the supes world get more explanation. But there's still so much that we have to learn!!

Sing You Home

Finally finished this book.
Sing You Home, the latest novel by Jodi Picoult.

I liked this book quite abit. It wasn't as dramatic and charged compared to her previous book, Handle With Care, but it was definitely more controversial.

It's no surprise that Jodi has once again picked a contentious topic to be the focus of the book.
This book focuses on LGBT and of course, religion.

I loved the lawyer and priest jokes. The lambasting of arguments across the plantiff and defendant were also entertaining to read.

However, I do feel that the ending was a little abrupt. It felt rushed out. Like she had to race to meet a deadline and could not really tie up the loose ends.I for one, would like to know the back story of Lucy and Clive, and what eventually happened to Lucy.

But overall, I still enjoyed this book. Would definitely recommend it to all.
Good job Jodi. Another fantastic book.

VA: Last Sacrifice

OMG. Danm long since I blogged.
I finished VA: Last Sacrifice ages ago.

Overall, it was a good book. Tying up all the loose ends. It was a kind a bittersweet ending for me.
To me, the bond Lissa and Rose shared was one of the central plot of the series. Losing the bond, kinda felt like killing off a character.

But at least, everyone is still alive at the end of the day..

After VA, I have not been actively reading...I continued to buy books, but have not had the time to read them...I should try to get back to reading soon..afterall, I'm left with 3 more months of lazing around..
