But after reading your review, I think I am going to skip it: flat characters and I don't like description of Cordelia and her love interest. :/<br />I'm glad that you enjoyed the book (at least well enough to finish it).Dragana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01012304691571509653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-43467523926941403352013-04-24T14:57:18.914-04:002013-04-24T14:57:18.914-04:00I was thinking of listening to this because I watc...I was thinking of listening to this because I watched The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. However, since we tend to agree on books (shocking) I will be moving this slightly down my TBR list for a bit.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318743169252060511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-90985060871573492162013-04-23T14:08:36.678-04:002013-04-23T14:08:36.678-04:00Hahaha, omg,you still DNFed with the better versio...Hahaha, omg,you still DNFed with the better version? I can't even. That's crazy! I use audio for things I think I wouldn't like in print a lot of the time, like when I'm skeptical about the writing quality. Flat characters are slightly more 3d when they have voices, you know?Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-33355505305388311082013-04-23T14:06:12.790-04:002013-04-23T14:06:12.790-04:00Sounds violent!!

I have noticed a lot of the time audiobooks will work for me better than the print book will. Like Beautiful Creatures, I totally would have given up reading that super quick, but with the audio I almost got through it. I still DNF'd it, but the audio wasn't nearly as hard to endure as physically reading would have been.

There's a lot of ridiculous stuff like that in here, and it can be pretty funny. I suspect little kids will really enjoy it, because they're pretty bloodthirsty. Haha.<br /><br />Maybe you could read this with your kids in a few years!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-82416582408397867582013-04-23T09:13:32.771-04:002013-04-23T09:13:32.771-04:00haha Is it bad that what got me really excited in ...haha Is it bad that what got me really excited in this review is that she stabbed a guy with a fork? That sounds fun! It's too bad this one didn't have more in the way of character building but I am happy that it did manage to be pretty fun overall. It seems like everything nowadays is a series, hey? It drives me mad too. Maybe that's what has added to my contemporary love, those tend to be standalones (well the ones I read anyway, I know you read quite a few contemp series) Anyway, great review! Sorry you didn't like it enough to continue the series.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.com
