I also really didn't like the subheadings, I thought they were lazy writing and didn't work with the format. Our librarian said maybe that would be easier for the students, but how hard is to start the next paragraph with "Later that day, blah blah."Lea Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302978433153538824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-83715991169925728212010-07-23T22:59:52.733+01:002010-07-23T22:59:52.733+01:00Those sub headings do sound annoying. i hate when ...Those sub headings do sound annoying. i hate when you're really expecting from a book and it doesn't deliver...far better when you have no expectations at all and find a gem.

I've seen so many five-starred reviews of this one. That said, I don't give a five unless I really, really LOVE a book!<br /><br />@Darlyn & bookfairy - I think the cover is doing it's job here. A lot of people seem drawn to this book because of the cover (me included!)Leanna Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156147175772720617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-91034134683960451682010-07-23T07:10:25.215+01:002010-07-23T07:10:25.215+01:00I have to admit that I'm very curious about th...I have to admit that I'm very curious about this book.

It's amazing how similarly we felt about this book! Lol. I'm interested enough to see where the story goes, but the main character never really cut it for me!Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-73751697470093865022010-07-22T20:18:46.263+01:002010-07-22T20:18:46.263+01:00I need to read this soon too!
