    Sarah Dessen's Lock & Key and That Summer. I decided that I'm going to read the two again so that I can make a final verdict. Next would have to be Twilight Series. (Then again, I still have to read all the 4 books, so NVM.) I just don't know what to think of!

    Twilight: I feel it's too rushed and poorly written but I like some other factors of it. I'm on the fence with this one.

    I'm currently reading Exit Here. by Jason Myers, and I have no idea whether or not I like it. It's written in present tense, which is generally really hard for me to read, but it's an interesting story line, so it has its ups and downs.

    House of Night series, simply for the fact that the characters are entirely unrelateable, and half of the series is just rehashing the first three books over and over and over AND OVER AGAIN. But it's a guilty pleasure for me. :tehe:

    Ethan Frome. I had to read it for AP Lit senoir year in high school. It was okay and it kept me entertained in some parts, but it was just to much decription and too little dialogue. I never though there would be to much description, but I found out the truth after reading the book. And the ending lacked and disappointed, it left questions open and I hate that. But, like I said, it kept me entertained so I'm 'eh' about it.

    Definitely Twilight. :XD
    I like some of the characters, but it doesn't seem to have any real plot and I don't like the writing style.

    The whole Night World series made me :yah because it's great, but the always-happy endings kinda got to me. :XD

    And Breaking Dawn really messed up the Twilight series for me. :finger:
    Even more than Bella/Edward's characters sucking at life. :XD

    Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn. It was a good idea but she just seemed to rush the ending. I would've liked to see more about the Titanic and less about Spirit Vale. I also think the whole time travel thing was weird.

    It was good, but i'm still not too sure on it.

    I loved the first three twilight books, I thought they were exquisetly written but the fourth one left me wondering. It was as if some one else wrote it. I don't think I liked it...

    It was brilliantly written, but I’m not sure what I think of it.

    It's actually a short story and not a novel, but An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge. I absolutely hated the ending, but it was because it was so shocking.

    I completely agree.

    Windless Summer, by Heather Sharfeddin.
    It was odd, and threw me off a little. I'm still not sure whether I liked it or not.

    Fight Club. :shifty
    I was just really underwhelmed by it. I didn't actively hate it but I wasn't entirely sure if I liked it at all, honestly. I felt the same about The Tommyknockers by Stephen King. I normally like pretty much all of his books, so that was a bit of a disappointment.

    Luxe and Rumors by Anna Godberson. I like some parts but the books are just boring at most parts and the characters aren't too interesting.

    I felt the same way after reading it.
    I just kind of stared at the end going, "was that it?"

    The Bitch Goddess Notebook, it was just very strange. I didn't like it, but I couldn't put it down.

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
    I know I liked it, but I wanted Charlie to just... man up?

    The Uglies series.
    The idea was interesting, but the characters weren't all that engaging.

    Pride and Prejudice. I thought it was a little dry and slow moving at first, but it picked up...eventually. I thought it was okay, just not the type of book I'd read again.
