Me Again

I slacked off on my other books, so now I'll just have to do a three in one. Since I last posted, I've read The Power of One, A Room with a View, and the Bell Jar.

The Power of One was not what I expected at all. I expected it to actually be about apartheid or WWII and instead it was only about the kid. And I found it wasn't emotional at all. Mich said it was one of the only movies she's cried in, but I wasn't even close to tearing up. It was a pretty good story about, well, the power of one, but the end where he beats the crap out of his childhood bully kind of ruined it, I thought. So, not an A+ from me. Not that I didn't enjoy it, it was a pretty good read, but definitely not my fave.

A Room with a View was pretty great. At first it was boring, had long descriptive paragraphs that I didn't understand, and action that was vague so I felt like I was only getting the gist of the story. And now I feel like I'm hating on this book... But after the first bit of the book, I really enjoyed it and it was a lovely romance. Very cute!

I freaking loved the Bell Jar. When I got that at Christmas, I remember Went and Cris saying they loved it as well. It was intense and so well written! It was surprising how subtle it was at first, and then bam. But also, it didn't seem like she was insane, only really depressed. But I liked it mucho, I couldn't put it down!

So, there's a few little blips for ya! Love ya lots!
