I have a video of me a vlog of me reading this book for the first time. yeah, they're really not for me.
Book Remix Tag!
I remember feeling frustrated, but I don't think I was as upset as other people were when they read that ending.
These Angus thongs of fullrontal snogging felt special to us when we were little because I think it was British so there was those extra elements that we weren't used to seeing and also when they came out we were younger than the character usually so you're like reading about somebody a little older than you so it's exciting.
I do think it's the strongest of her books so far.
It still probably would have been very readable though because Divergent flew through that.
And it's a very good book. I five stars.
The idea of the book of like clones and the sci-fi element of it, but set at this very literary fiction backdrop just didn't work for me.
It would arguably be more readable though, like you'd be able to get through it faster because On Beauty was a bit of a slog at points.
Like Pride and Prejudice was fine, but I definitely am not one of those hardcore people that just absolutely loves it.
Cuz like I read Sunrise on the Reaping this year and that one is definitely worth it.
Whereas Ballad of Songirds, Mistakes, I was not as into that one.
I remember feeling very emotional reading that book and it was a big deal with the movie coming out and everything.
I feel like she would pull a lot more depth out of Daisy than we get from Scott Fitzgerald because we're meant to infer a lot about her from the way that she's treated and, you know, gender roles of the time and I think she could improve upon that.
she wrote the host as well, which was arguably better. Like it felt like she had developed a bit as an author.
I do love the Hunger Games. I love the concept of it.
Seven Husbands flew through that. Both of those were very readable in their own way.
I also just don't know that Twilight really works if it's better. Yeah, because that's the thing is that it is it's very much a product of that moment in time.
