I think my major complaint about most of these books is that they wanted to tackle a difficult problem but ended up being cheap chick lit, well, in my opinion. Maybe if I had enjoyed the topic, I might not have minded but this way I did.<br /><br />I have not watched "My Sister's Keeper" (or any of the movies that have been made from any of these books) but I was shocked when I heard how they had changed the ending. The twist was the best part of the book, I thought.<br /><br />I have "Eat, Pray, Love" on my TBR pile (a gift from a friend who sorted out her library before moving), I doubt that I will ever touch it.<br /><br />Hope we will find many more books to talk about.<br /><br />Have a great weekend, everyone,<br />Marianne<br />Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-34950368074672046662014-05-14T16:38:35.644+02:002014-05-14T16:38:35.644+02:00I liked Water for Elephants, Atonement, Cold Comfo...I liked Water for Elephants, Atonement, Cold Comfort Farm (the movie was funnier) and the Time Traveler's Wife, hate Jodie Picoult, hated I Don't Know How She Does it--I'm with you, what a spoiled brat--, may I add Eat, Love, Pray, I finished it, but I definitely wanted to slap the author what a self involved piece of workMac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-90918018380494689152014-05-13T21:52:24.436+02:002014-05-13T21:52:24.436+02:00The ending of My Sister's Keeper was so shocki...The ending of My Sister's Keeper was so shocking.

And, it was a rare book that my brother and I both read (again, for the setting), so that made me love it more. <br /><br />I also liked the Time Traveler's Wife, but I suspect that, too, had to do with the people around me at the time. All the librarians were reading it, because of the profession of one of the main characters, so that made it fun.<br /><br />I gave up on Cold Comfort Farm and Atonement and watched the movies instead. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.joyweesemoll.com/" rel="nofollow">Joy's Book Blog</a>Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414405931825593371noreply@blogger.com
