Mixed Feeling

I had quite mixed feelings reading these books. On the one hand, I loved the writing style. It was atmospheric. However, there were times when the repetitiveness was just too much.

I enjoyed the Violet, Klaus, and Sunny as characters and the three Quagmire triplets. The rest of the characters i hardly liked at all.

I think the book could be shorter. I liked the first three and the last four books but the middle could be taken out without much consequence. Towards the end I felt like I was just reading it because I had already come so far and I couldn't wait to finish them. On the other hand, I'm glad I read the ending because I enjoyed it.

I go into a lot more detail on my blog. Link is in my bio if you want to check it out.

The writing style (0 more)

We read this book for the first month of my monthly book club,personally I rated it two out of five, as a group it was rates three out of five. I don't think any of us really loved it,and personally I wouldn't say I really enjoyed it,but that's maybe because it isn't a book.i would usually read. I found it really hard to connect with the style of writing as I could not get immerses in the story or characters,It wasn't a very personal style of writing,instead making you feel like you were being kept at an arms distance. I only started to enjoy the story three quarters through the book when the story was being tied up and coming to an end. As a group we all decided we wouldn't be reading anymore Georgina Harding.

Extremely Funny with an HEA

Noely Clark is a single, attractive host of Good Morning Malibu. She agrees to be set up with a blind date at a restaurant called "Going in Blind". Noely ends up going on three blind dates and its set up with a suit, a rebel and a jock. The dates are real and her interactions with the men are hilarious. The book has a tie in to the movie "You've Got Mail" which add a nice touch to the story. In the end, she can only choose one of the three men - who will she choose? If you like contemporary romance, this is a book that should not be missed.

The acting. Brad Pitt and Leo were amazing. Margo is always a strong supporting lass. The writing. The directing. It was lengthy, but not unnecessarily so. (0 more)

It makes me reminisce and wish certain fictions weren't fictions. (0 more)

My boyfriend watched this movie three times before I had the opportunity. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Great setup to an ultimate revenge scene. I loved, loved, loved the costuming. But what was up with everyone's dirty feet??? I can see why Bruce Lee's family objected to the portrayal of the late, great actor. But we have to remember that this entire film is fiction and not fact. It did make me exceptionally sad that some of these events did not transpire in real life. I don't have the time for a three-hour movie, but I would definitely watch this again...
