But be warned - the ending leaves you wanting for MORE. I read the whole series already (the first two books in Italian, the third in Spanish, because it isn't out here yet) and love it, but if I had to find a flaw in it, is that the three books are so closely interconnected you need to read all three to get a real feel of the story.<br /><br />That being said, it's very funny. The main character is hilarious. The author because famous writing adult chick lit and you can feel she has a talent for dialogue.Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652990135572677170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-20807612715220020352012-02-04T10:31:43.250-05:002012-02-04T10:31:43.250-05:00I am totally in shock!!!

Still in shock over your statement about that. <br /><br />It's got an edge of mystery with budding romance and time travel. This was a book I couldn't put down.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089936646594784828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-38830929753903932332012-02-04T10:20:44.392-05:002012-02-04T10:20:44.392-05:00I haven't read this book yet, but I really wan...I haven't read this book yet, but I really want to.

However, the clincher, when added to the pretty cover and slightly different height/width ratio, are the names of the main characters - Gwyneth and Gideon. This has my read-it-soon vote.Inolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16796998242031512355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-75210977001908014192012-01-31T11:26:42.708-05:002012-01-31T11:26:42.708-05:00I need to read this too.

Nothing like Inkheart. The concept was different, the dialogue clever. Don't know how it compares to the original, since I don't read German but it's worth the read IMO.The Art of Kim Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725289404334038843noreply@blogger.com
