Who-did-it? that lacked the suspense. Cant say its brilliant, alto the twist towards the end made it a lil better. Not mind-blowing or anything. Perhaps there's juz too many characters with too lil useful insights on them.

Twilight, and sequels
by Stephanie Meyer
The first time I read the book, I felt it was pretty shallow.
But re-reading proved that opinions could change over time. It could hardly compare to the classics, but it is undeniably good for general public. It is something most ppl could comprehend so I guess it achieved the purpose of being read by as much ppl as possible.
The plot is fairly simple, but the character development was quite nice. Very repetative author, but the fourth book was decent. Overall a good time killer. Tho I suspect the subject of vampire was the main lure.

Song of the Sound
by Adam Armstrong
A rather good novel in terms of the visual images it put in my mind, using just words. Nothing too complicated, as far as the plot is concerned. It's a casual way of describing how ppl relate to one another...
Its best part is how real it felt. It was like what could possibly be real. Nothing far-fetched like most Hollywood production these days.

Claudine
by Stephen King
It's about a car that sort of came alive. Could have been good, had it not been so long and... windy...
A let-down, since I expected more from the writer. Not recommendable.

Desperation
by Stephen King
As usual, a thick book to wade through. But undeniable hook. I could feel the horror, and despite its 700++ pages, it managed to hold me on most of the time. Put away-able, but hard :)
Dont remember the details, but goosebump automatically pops when I try to think of the book.

Legacy of Silence
by Belva Plain
Quite a slow progress of the plot... Good for light/idle read. But a little too sad for my liking. A twist was expected, but the actual twist was mind-blowing.
Not too enjoyable.
But it managed to roughly write out the effect of decisions made on a few generations.

Secret Sins
by Stephanie Blake
Personally loved the character(s): Mara.
Entertaining enough for me to read again and again. Suspect its the lure of the character: Strong, Beautiful and Powerful.
