wow. predictable, but, enjoyable series.

the ending was totally messed up. did not like it at all. but overall it was a decent read. don't take into account how long it took me to read it. Dan holidays.

FINALLY FINISHED!

I wasn't overly impressed. But, it's not normally something I would read anyway. I read it in preparation for the movie and because my husband looooooves the Lord of the Rings series.

cute throwback to being a teenager.

once I had the time to actually read this one I really enjoyed it. despite the start and finished date, it only took me a couple days.

it reminded me of a female version of the movies wall street and boiler room.

I'm not normally a fan of the vampire thing to begin with so that's most of the reasoning for the "its okay" rating. secondly I thought everything ended a little too perfectly. obviously Darius is going to come back as the child of wrath and beth. and mr x is going to continue to go after them. butch is going to end up with marissa too. needless to say I have no desire to read the rest of the series.

the only disappointing part of the book was that Christina Perri wasn't singing in the background as I read it. oh and picturing Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel as characters that don't fit the descriptions was distracting. otherwise another wonderful Nicholas Sparks piece.

a beautiful book on time and how you should not spend your life watching the clock. how the convenience of the present is not always best. and most importantly that there's a rhythm and reason for everything. "ends are for yesterdays, not tomorrows"

I am not a religious person, and I was actually a bit annoyed when I found out that this was a work of nonfiction and then on top of that it was a religious piece. (Obviously I didn't pay that much attention to the description or the cover of the book). I was so disappointed with my selection that after a few pages I just put the book down, for weeks. When I finally did pick up the book I couldn't put it down. I was so touched by this journey Albom went through. I never really did get religion and why people hold on to it so tightly but after this read I get it. It was a beautiful book that when finished I literally felt my heart sink and then break a little.

"I thought about his dilapidated church downtown. And I realized that in some ways, we all have a home in our roof, a gap through which the rears fall and bad events blow harsh wind. We feel vulnerable. We worry about what storm will strike next".

sad, but good. but it had to lose a star for all the football talk.
