Say you are one of them...didn't finish this one. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't what it was..It was all bad things happening to children. I'm all for giving a story it's due, especially if someone had to live through it and most likely someone somewhere may have had similar stories, but something I read about the author gave me the feeling he hadn't seen, heard or even come close to experiencing these horrid situations. Probably I'm wrong, but I didn't want to put my emotional energy into reading them. There are five different stories. I read the first two, investigated the book and decided I wasn't going to finish it, but then I thought I should at least read the last story that held the book's title...I wish I hadn't. There's my 2 cents...
Fairest - a twist on Snow White, Cole and I read this together, it was pretty good, there are others by the same author, putting twists on other fairytales, we're going to try those as well
This was on Cole's summer reading list...it is def. a tween book, but a nice quick read that's cute.
Eleven, this was also on Cole's reading list and I didn't enjoy it very much, the blurb (?) led you to expect more from the story...just kind of boring.
And the one I finished today, the kind of book that makes you wish there was more...sort of. It's science fiction and I'm usually not a big fan of that, but a friend recommended Scott Card a few years ago so I decided to give it a go. It's def. not a warm and fuzzy book, kind of the opposite, but you are endeared to the character and there are twists and it was a couldn't put it downer.
I'm moving on to more of Cole's summer reading and there are other's I've read and can't recall right now, but if I do I'll blog-u-ment them ;).
