How's Stardust??? I haven't read anythign by Gaiman yet.
I've read Jinx...I didn't care much for it although it was entertaining.

<3 Meg Cabot though....

[simplykatie]

honestly, i was underwhelmed. very underwhelmed. i liked the writing style and everything, but the story was very under...yeah. that's kind of a vague review.

i was kind of "meh" about it as well.

::snugs::

The whole thing was very weak. I expect so much of Meg Cabot..and suddenly I read Jinx...and it was just so very...not.

[simplykatie]

you should read "queen of babble." (if you haven't already.)

man, i really really enjoyed that one. seriously laughed out loud.

how was stardust? i reeeeeeeeeally liked the movie, and i just don't think the book will be as good.

alsooooooooo, what'd you think of wicked lovely? and how fucking awesome is seth??

[simplykatie]

movie trumps book, in my opinion.

i'm in-between feelings. a more in-depth review to follow in email on friday. <3333333333seth.

[barbed_whispers]

yeah, i figured it would. gaiman's stories just aren't as VIBRANT as that movie ended up being. (the beginning was totally gaiman though. aka, kind of dry.)

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

[simplykatie]

yeah. as my first gaiman, it made me kind of sad. especially since i liked the movie so much that when it stopped, i went to the menu and re-played the dvd right away.

as soon as i'm done dealing with email and lj, i am off to write it!

I have read more books than you so far this year. o.O My world is all askew!

Also, I want in on the email review of Wicked Lovely. :P I enjoyed it...

Have you read Avalon High by Meg Cabot? I want to read it, but... heh. I want to know what someone else (in this case: you) thought of it first.

[simplykatie]

well, i didn't want to add "fundamentals of collection management" or "communication between cultures" or anything like that on the list.

does that make you feel better?

will send.

i own it. and it's somewhere in my closet. do you want me to add it to the top of the queue?

[getaway_machine]

haha, a little bit?

And you don't have to put it at the top, it's not that big of a deal. I was just curious. :)

[simplykatie]

good. i'm glad, hon.

it's no problem. i'll throw it on the pile tonight.
