I just think she's overrated, that's all. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your review; it was very well-balanced - and <I>fair</I> unlike some I've read (including mine, hahah!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080425107402997708.post-82149387597288070832008-11-04T09:16:00.000-08:002008-11-04T09:16:00.000-08:00Kimmers!

I appreciate your review. I placed a hold at the public library for it - I'm number 811 for 86 holdable copies. If the 810 people ahead of me keep it for their allotted 3 weeks, then I'll get my turn in 28 weeks! My chances might be better at our school library. ;)Rachel Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188391628514806745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080425107402997708.post-89469876082480473842008-11-04T07:02:00.000-08:002008-11-04T07:02:00.000-08:00I loved these books, too.

Your take on the book is interesting and I've never thought it about it from a Christian perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080425107402997708.post-78408804110444814612008-11-04T06:33:00.000-08:002008-11-04T06:33:00.000-08:00Glad you liked this book - I read the first one be...Glad you liked this book - I read the first one before they got as insanely popular as they are now and I wonder how I would have reacted if I'd gone in with a bunch of expectations. In fact, I didn't even know they were vampire books, until I read the back cover.Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178196211079230972noreply@blogger.com
