Bsing is always fun, I've done taht through many an assignment.

The book was called The Third Magic, it was the final book in a trilogy and I had been really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, two major characters from the previous book had just disappeared. They weren't even mentioned. It was like the equivalent of there being absolutely no Hermione and Neville in book 7 with no explanation for it. I swear, there names weren't even mentioned once. Several otehr major characters were totally margginalized! As if that weren't bad enough, there were parts that completely contradicted the first two books, it was written in a totally different tone and went off in an unexpected direction (and not good unexpected, bad-doesn't-make sense unexpected), the characterization just seemed off, the whole thing seemed to move too quick despite being over 300 pages and having loads of pointless passages, there were too many loose ends not tied up and vague promises unfulfilled, and the ending was confusing and thouroughly unsatisfying. I was close to breaking down and crying with despair. It was truly a horrible, horrible ending for what had been a promising series.


Sounds horrible.
That sounds very horrible.

It was. But, I just finished reading House of Moons, which was good, and have started on American Gods, which is really good so far.

What are you guys reading?

I like it. It's a good book! It's just everything is ruined when you have to do the assignment.

I understand completely. Many a good story and poem have been ruined for me because I had to "analyze" it.

Darn it, books are meant to be read!

Yes! And good books are to be enjoyed, not ripped apart so you can answer essay questions! I mean, having a discussion would be fine, but the written questions ruin everything!

I've read The Giver.

I didn't think it was that great of a book.

The ending is far too... Well I thought it was kind of obtuse.

In my opinion.

The giver? hmm..it was a good book. Although it was a bit depressing to read it and sad and all. But overall I thought it was an awesome book. Have any of you read the prequel to the book? its called gathering blue. I'm only started reading it.

I'm reading Harry... Because Inkhart got boring really fast, the part in the Talisman where I left off freaks me out, Bolg and dragons are boring, and I really don't want to read that fourth grade level book with 12 point font that's collecting dust on my shelf...


I suppose I could reread Stoner and Spaz... O.o
