Blo...Petty Witter - no problem<br /><br />Amanda - thankyou.<br /><br />Blodeuedd - the hype got to me first - had to read it.<br /><br />Nicole - I wonder if that is what I meant by a slow burner. It didn't get to me. Your right something was missing.<br /><br />Mommablogsalot - hope you enjoy it.<br /><br />Bermudaonion - my favourite type of book. I love it when it really affects my emotions.<br /><br />Suko - I have ordered The Giver from the library so that I can see for myself.<br /><br />Alyce - glad to hear you enjoyed it too. I am going to read The Giver soon.<br /><br />Naida - thanks<br /><br />Aarti - it is really beginning to bug me now. I don't feel that every book needs to be written in this way. I do feel it is a trend rather than a necessity to the writing.<br /><br />Kathy - thank you.<br /><br />Mummazappa - I like it, but I feel that it is being overused now. This book didn't have that sense of immediacy, it really is a slow burner. I felt the author was just following a trend.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-32838896352277341932011-01-14T07:23:37.959+00:002011-01-14T07:23:37.959+00:00I must read this soon.

There's a lack of choice--or at least limited choice--in both books. I wonder if the claustrophobia you felt was intended by the author?
