OK, so I have neglected my blogging for the last couple of weeks. Oh well. Robopocalypse was OK... creepy in a futuristic sort of way. I think we all wished that it would've moved a bit faster, but Gone for Good made up for that tenfold. Harlan Coben's book was crazy fast-paced and filled with suspense. We had planned to read half for this week, but this book is sort of like that old once-you-have-one-potato-chip-you-eat-the-whole-bag idea & no one was able to put it down after just one page. The whole book was "legit" in a quasi-awesome kind of way (OK so I made that up bc Coben's overuse of the already ubiquitous "legit" drove me absolutely mad, and his insane repetition of "quasi" everything made me wonder if he in fact did anything for REAL). Rant over. If you love to have your mind twisted into a thousand directions at a zillion miles per hour, if you just love a good suspense-filled mystery, Gone for Good is highly recommended. If you don't have 3 solid evenings to devote entirely to reading, then this is not for you... you'll get frustrated at the little tickle in the corner of your brain saying "who dunnit?" and be driven to insanity. OK maybe not. It's good. It's fast. It's the little red Corvette of books, and you should read it (:
Next up: going classic again with Hemingway's (yes, that big arrogant jerk we learned all about this summer in the Paris Wife) The Sun Also Rises. It's on every top 100 list I looked up (a grand total of 2). We're reading all 251 glorious pages for next week. Meeting at Vito's (the pizza Nazi! ) in clarksburg (: See ya there!
