The first book was great. I love the character (who the book was titled after). Madly in love with her. But its my own preference for strong characters with biting wits. Just the way my best frenz mostly are.
The second book was... quite a letdown. But it made me think a lil, since it was rather political.
Overall, I think the first book was worth be pulling an all nighter, but the second book i regret spending excessive hours poring over it, in hope of finding Maledicte in it.

Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Keyes
It was one of the books that left strong impact on me back in high school. The story of a mentally challenged man made intelligent artificially. And then falling back to his original state. It was an overwhelming experience reading it.
Reread it recently... I understand some parts better now... But at the same time, it pales when I compare it against my impression of it. A lil too simple for my current state. Perhaps most good books are made to cater the general public to be successful.
Still one of the better books due to its idea. Should reread "Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 and 3/4" to make comparison. (my memory relates these two books together from the extensive reading i did back at my slacking days.

Night's Cold Kiss
by Tracey O'Hara
Hmm, the review made it sound good. Its not a BAD work or anything. A lil heavy on the sex scenes. What i dont like about it is that she tended to repeat her lines. Even if its good, repeating it at least 3 times in your book, is kinda dumb.
Another fantasy story about slayer mating with vampire. And as usual the gal being the former. Damn. And she's "beautiful" with perfect chest n everything. I kinda prefer it when the gal was not exactly perfect so she'll be haunted by a lil insecurity. HAHA!
Not sth I recommend for ppl who dislike wasting time on a non-superb book =)
