Booklog 2008: Catch-Up Post the Fifth
Apr. 25th, 2008 03:13 pmWow! I'm really getting there! *shocked*
( 41. Then We Came to the End — Joshua Ferris ) this is an amazingly impressive first novel, and I really look forward to seeing what Ferris does next.
( 42. Casino Royale — Ian Fleming )at one point Bond thinks about how much he wants to have sex with her, as seeing as how she’s so withdrawn, each time would have the zesty tang of rape. Nice.
( 43. Force of Nature — Suzanne Brockmann ) where’s the book where Jules and Annie have wild madcap adventures together?
( 44. Tales of the Vampires — Joss Whedon, et. al. ) Thinking about Spike and everything that happened to him still makes me all wibbly. The end.
( 45. How I Live Now — Meg Rosoff ) Can we make an official ruling that that device has gotten old? Thanks.
( 46. Karma Girl — Jennifer Estep ) Says the supposedly supergenius ubervillain Frost: "Your lack of intellect is too small to calculate!" Ahahahaha. Wow.
( 47. Strange Relations — Philip José Farmer ) And by “you,” I sadly mean me.
( 48. The President’s Daughter — Ellen Emerson White ) I guess that makes me even more eager for the sequel.
( 49. The Secret History of the Pink Carnation — Lauren Willig ) it’s just not that clever or different, and ultimately, not that much fun.
( 50. Un Lun Dun — China Mièville ) I first read Neverwhere when I was eleven or twelve, and wasn’t wildly traumatized by it—quite the opposite, in fact. I think kids are much better off just reading that. (Though I did like Miéville’s illustrations.)
Total Reviews: 50/68
