this was unbearable and i barely read 25 pages. this was so pretentious and preachy and full of unnecessary metaphors in every fucking sentence.
The streets of Hollywood are paved over the bodies of the vulnerable, the fucked with, the lied to, and the hurt.
yeah, okay, great, can we not?
ugh
it's been almost two weeks and i just do not care about anything
i am so over the “queer teen is struggling cause their parents are religious” storyline. so, no. i'm sure it's a great book but thirty minutes in i rolled my eyes way too many times to know i'm not gonna love it, soo what's the point then?
the only reason i would consider continuing is cause Michael Crouch narrates it and i love his work but i think i'm gonna pass on this one
i tried reading it and i tried the audiobook but it took me a month to get through like 10 pages or so. i guess i'm just not interested
i just feel no desire to pick it back up. maybe some other time
i can't read this. it feels weird
i looked through the photos, but i'm not reading this
i forgot the synopsis and after starting the book thought it was a stalker romance. got very excited about it and then disappointed cause it's like the opposite of it. and while that's not the book's fault, i already psyched myself up for a dark and unhealthy but hot stalker thing so i really don't want to read a bodyguard romance right now. so it's a dnf. i will return to this, but i doubt it will be any time soon
i think this was the worst time to pick up this book for me. I'll come back to it later
i'm so fucking bored
all i can say is that this is not what I wanted. it's important, no question about that. but what I wanted was not a piece of political non-fiction. i wanted smth similar to columbine by cullen. i wanted to know what exactly happened. i wanted to know why. i didn't want to read a 400-page book on gun violence vs gun control in America. it's just not smth i want to read.
read the introduction – not interested
i'm four pages in and i can't stand the writing style. i tried both physical and audio and just no
I'm gonna preface this by saying I LOVE this cover. it speaks to me on some deep personal level
the book starts with a very pretentious author note, which I should love because it's totally my thing but this one somehow made me not want to read a book. I don't know why. I just caught myself rolling my eyes a lot
and then the first paragraph is this:
I'm the one who's left behind. I'm the one to tell the tale. I knew them both, knew how they lived and how they died. It didn't happen long ago. I'm young, like them. Like them? Can that be possible? Can you be both young and dead? I don't have time to think of that. I need to cast the story out and live my life. I'll tell it fast and true to get it gone, right now, while darkness deepens over the icy North and the bitter stars shine down. I'll finish it by morning. I'll bring my friend into the world for one last night then let her go forever. Follow me, one word then another, one sentence then another, one death then another. Don't hesitate. Keep moving forward with me through the night. It won't take long. Don't look back.
yikes. no. bored af. also the writing is just... no
i think i might need to reread it. i was a bit tired when i read it so i skimmed a little. with that in mind, i'm giving it a four even though it feels more on a three spectrum right now
everything about this is way too annoying. i can't deal
started listening to an audiobook but that turned out to be a big yikes. the narrator sucks, another one for my “never again” list
will come back to the book later though, still interested
as far as first volumes go this one is quite well done
break has always been my favourite character and his introduction is as fun as i remember [although i could be called biased cause this type of character always ends up one of my favourites]
i like the lewis carroll allusions
sharon on the other hand was never smb i particularly cared for. the crush oz has on her in incomprehensible to me.
this is such a great volume. we finally meet jack, finally meet cheshire, get to see mad hatter.
the little conversation vincent and oscar had.
a bit of so needed by this point exposition.
just great all around.
this was so fun. japan really loves the “be my dog” trope, huh xD
the brothers' dynamic reminded me of the sakuma brothers from enstars, so that was fun too.
