The Night Before Christmas

Welcome, Sowmiya! It's good to have you here. With respect to books with hard to predict plots, have you read Gone Girl, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and My Sister's Keeper? You might enjoy them just as much as I (and most other people) have. :D

Yeah, you better run. -_-

Somebody was supposed to finish DN...... -_-

Why don't you continue the death note series while I'm away? We can discuss it then? Let me know if you're interested.

I can't read anything much until the end of July, I'm afraid. You already know how stressed I am about all these exams I'm appearing for. Don't be mad. :(

I'll make up for it when I get into a college for M.Sc. Promise!

(I feel like I'm going to sneak read a little after June's over, not sure yet ;) )

I'll be a tad busy in the next few days. Since, it's June and all. Heehee! ;) :P

I agree the end was unsatisfactory, but she was a teenager and a GIRL at that.. Cut her some ..."

I'm busy being a GRANNY?!?!??! I WILL KILL YOU, HP!!!!! -_-

What is with capitalising the word, "girl"? You seriously want to get hit? >_<

Why do you think I was crying like a crazy person? :P

Yes, but it takes a long time to get there. A long, long time for some. Others might give advice, might even use force, but until the sufferer understands and realizes their plight, they will keep going back. Pain has a tendency to become addictive.

Sometimes we convince ourselves and start to believe that something is bad for us, even when it isn't. I guess that's what happened to her. I did understand some of it. She probably didn't feel like she deserved Park's love. It does happen.

Yes, I'm a bit of a crybaby, as you already know. He looked at me and panicked. You know how parents get when their children are upset. And I wasn't even crying like a normal person. :P

It's not that easy, you know. I've seen someone in a similar situation and she couldn't do it for so many reasons. Mostly because it had become a habit for her and it wasn't easy for her to get away from it. She forgot that there were other things to life, she had become so dependent and addicted to the pain. It's never easy.

In a way, I understood Eleanor's mother's ordeal. Sometimes people just don't have a choice and choose to stay for reasons best known to them; for security, for honour. There are all kinds of reasons. Many people choose to stay to avoid taunts by other people, some stay to protect family, say, their children.

Trying to talk sense doesn't help. These decisions have to be taken by the sufferer. No one else would understand the exact extent of it. We are no one to judge na?

V, yeah the rest of the book was very cute. Reminds you of the firsts in a relationship as well as your first crushes and stuff. Very, very adorable.

But, as I mentioned in the previous comment, I just didn't feel like the ending was hopeful. Maybe it was a natural end but the 'hopeful romantic' in me wanted a nice happy ending. We already don't have happy endings in real life. Must books have sad endings too?

I cried really bad when I finished that book. I remember even uttering the words, "How could she?", over and over. My poor dad, running in from the adjacent room, saw the sight (of my ugly crying) and was really alarmed! He really thought something bad had happened. :P

That's why I stay away from sad books. XD
