I think people's opinions have something to do with personal preference of a style or genre, but also to do with your mood when you read it. For example, sometimes I NEED a good rom-com (I've been itching to re-watch The Holiday), but other times I want more substance or action or something. I definitely was in the mood for a HOW TO BE BAD type of book that night (what can I say, the Phillies were losing).Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-60465747357223734662009-11-05T05:29:24.812-05:002009-11-05T05:29:24.812-05:00Wow, we had completely opposite reactions to this ...Wow, we had completely opposite reactions to this book, which I found boring and asinine; I found the dialogue completely uninteresting.<br />How funny that two people could have such COMPLETELY different reactions. I loved the dialogue in the Millenium trilogy. It really kept the book moving, and it felt like real "book" dialogue to me. :-) even if it was never really funny.brizmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163313230550265190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-31912150063369207212009-11-05T00:00:23.614-05:002009-11-05T00:00:23.614-05:00Multiple Choices.
