Great review! I can't wait to read this one; I only read great reviews of it. I haven't seen the movie yet either, since I want to read the book first. .-= Kay´s last blog ..Comic : The Man’s Birthday =-.

I think that's a lesson all of us can learn. Not entirely sure I want to read a book about it, though I am interesting in seeing the movie. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Prehistoric Art: The Symbolic Journey of Humankind =-.

I saw the movie recently and loved it. Difficult to watch, but so real and beautiful. The book sounds very much like what I saw on screen. I'll have to check it out. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..The Funny Thing Is…, by Ellen Degeneres =-.

I loved this book, and think that you hit the nail on the head with the very ordinariness of Frank and April. They spend much of their time thinking they are so much better than those who surround them, and essentially they are the same. I also thought that the fights between the two sometimes verged on the vicious and that Frank was very cold at times. April was not much better though. I really,really liked your review, and am glad that you liked the book. It’s one I won’t soon forget.

Great review, Meaghan. I am looking forward to starting this one soon. I thought the movie was so powerful. .-= Marie´s last blog ..Graphic Novel Monday: Glister 1: Glister and The Haunted Teapot, by Andi Watson =-.

The movie version of this looked so dark and depressing. Did you find the book to be that way? .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Mailbox Monday =-.

I've had this book in my TBR pile for almost a year. I really need to get on the ball and read it. Great review! .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Sunday Salon: October Wrap Up =-.

I’ve never read this, but like Lily, now I’m thinking that I may have missed out on something.

Great review! For the first time I am actually convinced to read this book. I have always heard what a bestseller it was, how great the book was but I never actually read a review that would explain the success of this book. Until now
