I've been there since 2 months ago! I want to finish it but I just can't. I've given up on it. :( Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-63168970730898335692014-04-01T20:20:51.073-04:002014-04-01T20:20:51.073-04:00I think I am going to skip this one.

It would just put me in a bad mood if I were to read it. ~Sara @ Just Another Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870692977272702662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-79003770728452341922014-03-28T05:39:35.129-04:002014-03-28T05:39:35.129-04:00This one left Kim feeling pretty frustrated, too--...This one left Kim feeling pretty frustrated, too--it's a shame. I haven't gotten all that far in my own reading, and I'm not sure if I'll be continuing.

Like you say, how are you supposed to sympathize and relate to such a character? I'll be staying away from this one now, for sure.

It's just not my kind of thing, even well-written and interesting, AND with sympathetic characters. As it is, I'm jst lucky I wasn't even tempted.<br />Great review.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-41567362372816469732014-03-21T02:31:48.010-04:002014-03-21T02:31:48.010-04:00Your review pretty much sums up my thoughts exactl...Your review pretty much sums up my thoughts exactly. My own review was a little bit more ranty but same idea ;) I wouldn't have minded this one being longer if the ending was better and Alice could have maybe redeemed herself.

Sorry this wasn't the book you expected to read and like. Hope your next one is much better. Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.com
