I’m now reading The Fault in Our Stars and OMG, please just shoot me in the head.
Since when do teenagers talk that way?
Do we want to live in a world where teenagers talk that way?
Vee in OITNB (Season 2) asks why is “some sick f***” writing about kids with cancer? MY question is why is he writing about teenagers who talk this way?
The word “unextraordinary” should never ever be printed. The word is “ordinary”. A tree did not die for that word to be printed on it.
Prior to this nonsense, I’d actually had a good streak with 2 excellent books.
Gone Girl – I could not put this book down.
The Help – I made the mistake of watching the movie before reading the book and thought that the book must be quite average. I was wrong wrong wrong. A much better read since it is told from the point of view of characters (seems to be the in thing for fiction these days) and although casting Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer was spot on and they were pretty much flawless, I just need to know what’s going on in the characters’ minds. It’s sick, but I have always been a want-to know-what everyone-is-thinking-silence-is-therefore-evil type person. When I watched the movie again after finishing the book, I enjoyed the movie a whole lot more.
PS I realise all 3 books have been made into movies. As with my music choices, I refuse to be more “hipster” about my books. Mainstream all the way!
J and I also just finished a 3 day OITNB (Season 2) marathon and there’s a fantastic tumblr about the books referenced on the show. All 3 books are in there. It’d be awesome if someone actually read all of them, no?
