I'm bringing it on vacation with me, so I'll have the verdict in a few weeks.<br /><br />I hope your reading luck picks up soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00497303169422440094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-60863133348704449372011-07-05T23:59:28.277-04:002011-07-05T23:59:28.277-04:00Andi - I hope you enjoy them both!

I'm still not sure which I think it was.

Glad to know I'm not alone on Crossed. I didn't want to give too much away before you had a chance to read the book, but I felt like the whole thing was almost filler between the first and last book. Sort of like "we have to get from book 1 to book 3 but can't let too much happen or there won't be a book 3" if you know what I mean.<br /><br />bermudaonion - I really WANTED to love it too. :(<br /><br />Amy - I thought I'd love M&C but apparently I was quite wrong.

I liked that one better than Stardust (the movie with Robert DeNiro was better than the book, in this case, mainly because of the addition of DeNiro's character).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
