SPOILERS THROUGHOUT.This is probably the worst book I have ever read.I've read some fairly bad books - I've read Twilight - but this was something else. This was awful. Everything about it, from beginning to end, was just very, very, inexcusably bad.Let's take the first part - the part where all t...
Beautifully written and insightful. I refused to see the movie until I had read the book and I finally got around to both. I loved the book.
