I'm always curious to see how an author makes her story work when her protagonist is not all warm and fuzzy, and Kyle sounds like a fascinating candidate!Sarah Goldberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652256166475151514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-79706477028914399252010-07-04T23:01:43.325+01:002010-07-04T23:01:43.325+01:00Splendibird - Haha!

I wanted to rip his fancy hair out when I read those pages - though I still really liked the book overall, especially his development. I'm excited for the movie! :)Dwaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606879826280017542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-65999190351274683872010-07-04T21:09:53.461+01:002010-07-04T21:09:53.461+01:00This is such an interesting review.

I enjoyed this book when I read it, but did feel that it was slightly too shallow in places (although I could kind of see what the author was trying to do). The trailer for the film looks good. But I would probably watch Alex Pettyfer in just about anything...Splendibirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806168989843599731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-38817209044670994592010-07-04T12:53:47.134+01:002010-07-04T12:53:47.134+01:00Sophie - Thank you!
