Not my very favorite, but...

Caution- SPOILER ALERT!

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. 


This book was much harder for me to get into than I anticipated. It was often slow moving, in my opinion, which made it harder for me to really enjoy the story. But, all in all I ended up enjoying this story for the most part. I fell in love with the character of "Thigh-bolt" (ha, ha) and his loyal dog, Zeus and enjoyed following their story through till the end- until I thought that Logan had died! Goodness I was so mad! All I can say is that it is a good thing he didn't die! I would have been quite upset at wasting my time just to have the book end that way.

Well, and then this past week I was able to go and see the movie with my mom and sister... Can you say disappointing?! I honestly can say that I can't think of a single other movie that I hated as much as I hated this re-make of a book to a movie. The movie is NOTHING like the book and it frustrated me the whole 2 hours that the movie lasted. I liked Zac Efron in the movie, but that is about it. I wouldn't recommend going to the movie if you enjoyed the book at all.

Join Jane in Austenland.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

I love, love, loved this book. I thought it was pretty silly at first, (and there are many silly parts throughout the book) but the more I read the more I fell in love with this silly, crazy, fun, chick-lit book. This book kept my stomach in knots often and I just had to keep reading to find out what would happen/ what was real and what wasn't. In a silly fun loving way I fell in love along with Jane in this book. This is a MUST read, easy-going, quick finish, but enjoyable book. Shannon Hale is a wonderful and very fun writer who has woven a great story for her readers.
