The whole point sometimes is to not like the character. If the author can conjure such strong feelings in me, that means he/she is a talented writer! I hope you enjoy the book :)A Bookshelf Monstrosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674115889348650429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-81361706157730796492009-11-13T09:42:49.884-06:002009-11-13T09:42:49.884-06:00Oh, good!

I am the same way about reading the book first but the DVD was on sale and had to buy it. The movie was so amazing I wanted to restart it right after it finished. The book is now on my list to read before I die and I am glad I didn't ruin it by watching the movie first.Jess - A Book Hoarderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165915113578523052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-61516447777314743972009-11-13T07:10:44.518-06:002009-11-13T07:10:44.518-06:00This must be a love or hate book, because I just h...This must be a love or hate book, because I just hated it.
