Unless I missed it, why exactly did people spit on him at the airport? Other than that, I liked it.

And Spider-Man.

God doesn't want you pissing people off on a book forum you stupid mother f--ker. *Sevenwritez sits in front of his computer, naked save for the boxer shorts--much too tight, as his balls are bulging from it, and the balls feel restricted--staring at the clock at the bottom and wondering why...

You'll enjoy this one then, maybe. Both protagonists are females (so hey, if you're a gal you may like the whole girl power! thing, too), and both go through harsher trials and tribulations than the main character from Kite Runner (he made it to America, after all). The novel focuses on what...

I suppose it depends on what you prefer, though. The Kite Runner really did have that 'umph!' at the ending, but the story's emotional pull really came from its melodramtic characters, some the obvious saint-like character (Hassan), and then others such as the diabolical antagonist (I forget...

ur all nubz

Not sure if this is an old post or not, since I just happened upon this thread and was reading for fun. I'd like to post a little rant of my own, if you don't mind. You're an idiot. So are the books you read. I read the bible through once. The plot development was horrible, and the author of...

My whole take on the fantasy genre is that it is a set-up of a story to take you from one world into another, thus, an adventure of sorts. To go beyond one book gives you something to look forward to, a world that you came to love, and one that you know you will re-enter in time. Now, that's...

I don't dissect works, I just like them or hate them. And this is by far the best thing you've posted. I loved it. Ten out of fucking ten.

Harry Potter (The imagination carries this book--the writing is pretty basic) Lord of the Rings (I hear he's the father of fantasy, but I don't care enough about the genre to know--either way, the book is a boring read) To Kill A Mockingbird (This one was ok, but Jesus Christ it wasn't a...

I'm on page 107, and so far, thank you God, this second novel is living up to what made The Kite Runner such a great story. To anyone who has not read The Kite Runner, do so (and if you picked it up and were bored by the beginning, then you are forgiven; but no more, go back, wade through the...

So like, I recently put down Heart-Shaped Box to read a little book that's been catching some buzz, one that we all know and love (I use that word hesitantly), as The Road. First of all, a question--why are people praising this guys writing? He. Fucking. SUCKS! And...as for the story? I...

I don't really think that's too good an idea. I for one never put anything that I've actually thrown effort into on here. I tossed on some half-assed stories earlier that no one read, and that was fine since I didn't care about them, either. I'm pretty sure lots of the writers here keep their...

I would like to restate my opinion after reaching page one hundred fifty something. **** this book--save your money. Thank you libraries. The characters are boring and so is the plot...it may get better but I've been bored reading it and ended up starting another novel.

Scientology is the fat kid who gets picked last for the gym basketball games, while Christianity and Islam are always running around flexing and having the girls swoon over them, while Atheism is the rebel without a cause. Yeah.

Well that's odd, I thought Number9Dream kicked the shit out of Ghostwritten. I've yet to read Cloud Atlas or Black Swan Green, though. I think Ghostwritten was amazing simply because of how well all the different characters were voiced, but for the same reason made me dislike it a bit. Some...

Loved Number9Dream (my introduction to Mitchell), smiled a bit at Ghostwritten, and have recently picked up Cloud Atlas but only got thirty or so pages into it before being pulled into two other stories--The Smoke Jumper(s) and uh...Heart Shaped Box. Cloud Atlas seems to be unbelievably...

Sirmyk I love you. Dear God, I love you. That's all I wanted to type.

I recently passed by it while in the library the other day and picked it up (recently being yesterday). I'm around page 70-somethign or so, but so far the novel seems to be moving in a right direction, however, there are a few things to note. The main character is supposedly 54, and by the...

You're a thirty-something year old guy who writes at a library and writes with the skill of a junior in highschool obssessed with poetry. We win. Thank you very much.
