I've just finished reading the Troy Game series. DAMN that was good.jhakka said:Catch 22 was brilliant. It was definitely tedious, but I loved the cookey conversations.
Everything kinda goes pear shaped story-wise in the middle, but the loose threads do get tied up, and the last few chapters become an actual story with an actual ending that makes everything well worth the read.
I would have to disagree. The Axis Trilogy (and The Wayfarer Redemption) certainly weren't her best books (remember that they are her early ones, though), and some bits are frustrating, but I wouldn't put them under most annoying ever. I wouldn't rate them anywhere near as well as I would her Troy Game books, though.
The Prelude [almost] made me cry. In English last year I had to choose a week to speak on, and I figured Wordsworth was pretty easy to read. Unfortunately The Prelude is the only damn one that isn't easy AT ALL, and I only read the first part of the Two Part Prelude. Go team.simplistic said:do wordswroth poems count as books ?? some are infact ok but other eg the prelude are just
Well the prelude is practically novel-length. So yeah. That one counts. I have read 1/4 of it. The only good bit was the fact he used 'voluptuous.'simplistic said:do wordswroth poems count as books ?? some are infact ok but other eg the prelude are just
we only had to read the first part... i think....and I only read the first part of the Two Part Prelude
Damn our school as well then! We did both of them. Fun, fun, fun!!! Gotta agree about My Place being worse - gosh, I usually read books many times (read Pride & Prejudice about 9 times so far) but the third time I read it I got soooo bored, and that rarely happens. My Place annoys me and I can't figure out why. Some of Gatsby was okay but..... There are so many better books to choose from.Josie said:Gatsby was bad, but My Place was worse.
Damn the Smith's Hill text choices.
Yeah - we had to read it in year 7 and I was at the movies the other day and saw the preview. I could not believe my eyes and the sad thing was I could guess what the book was by the first, like, 10 seconds of the preview! grr... teachers need to learn how to pick better books to study!pakigal said:Bridge to terabithia...and now what are they doing making a movie for it?!?
What? I thought I already watched it in the high school days?? I mean, the one we watched was very similar to the book.pakigal said:Bridge to terabithia...and now what are they doing making a movie for it?!?
hahaha my sister reads that shit. Yeah, they're so cliched it makes you cringe.meLoncoLLie said:hahahahahaha
the mary-kateandashley novels are pretty dumb too, so commercialised
*coughcough* I might have read them.... All the ones I could actually. In my defense, I was in yr2. End embarressment/~untitled~ said:I didnt mind Rachaels tears, its alright. except its still a pretty dumb thing to do. as for the most annoying book, how could anyone go past the babysitter club books, possible the worst books of all time, disregarding mills and boon (surley they arent classified as books) ofcourse.
