Perfect match is a brilliant book so far. Tricky topic but I think Jodi deals with it really well. I like how she does the perspective from all angles too.
we had to do romeo and juliet, pride and prejudice, of mice and men, hobsons choice and some poems by people who ive forgotten lol (2 of them were blake and wordsworth, cant remember the other 2). i dont like shakespeare cos i dont understand it lol but i think romeo and juliet was the best one to do cos at least i understand the storyline in that one and we got to watch the film! pride and prejudice i gave up reading, it was too long and boring so i watched the film instead (which was only slightly less boring than the book!) still managed to get an A for that bit of cw though! hobsons choice i think was the most boring play ive ever read!Quote:

Just an update. The book is excellent except for the parts when the mother (Laura) is in therapy. All she talks about is an imaginary person who she's been seeing since she was 7 (now in her 40s). It really is boring, reminds me of the Lord of the Rings kinda fantasy. Also included are stories that Laura wrote when she was in school (even more boring). I'm just skipping everything about Laura.Quote:

I've also read Chart Throb by Ben Elton - really funny, basically taking the mickey out of xfactor :p
i agree, it was the first book i read of hers and it was good but others ive read since have been better. im still reading "mercy", nearly finished it thoughQuote:

I got into the Hannibal Lecter series.... had already read Silence of the Lambs and now reading Hannibal rising, followed by red dragon and then Hannibal.. really interesting stuff
