Just Listen
Tuesday, 24 February 2009
I read an e-book last weekend and it was not too bad... I was expecting a little more from Sarah Dessen in Just Listen but it was not as great as the other two books (This Lullaby and The Truth About Forever). The couple from This Lullaby, Remy and Dexter made a special appearance in the book, which to me, is kind of cool! XD I like Remy and Dexter's relationship and how they balance out each other better than the couple in Just Listen - Annabel and Owen. I find Owen's character to be less interesting than Dexter and Wes (The Truth About Forever). What I did enjoy, however, was how the author brought out Annabel's sisters. She illustrated their change in personalities and life experiences very nicely. All in all, I somehow guessed the mystery of Annabel halfway through the book, so the story was kind of predictable and I felt that it was a little draggy. :/ 6 out of 10 for this book here:


The couple's development was not too interesting, with only different aspects to them. I am currently updating my English blog more often... maybe I should move my banner as well. XD Too lazy to do so though.

I also watched Wall-E on Sunday. Since there was not much dialogue, everything was focused upon the graphics and characters to bring out the story. And since when has Pixar ever disappointed?I have been a loyal fan since Toy Story, A Bug's Life (watched it over and over again) and Monsters Inc. (repeat) to Ratatouille etc. Call me a childish person for enjoying cartoons and animation but it appeals to all, especially Pixar. I like Wall-E's storyline. It is adorable and meaningful, giving us a wake-up call (the immobile obese humans and rubbish skyscrapers) and having that Disney touch (typical love and hope). 10 out of 10! I loved it. :D

In my world, Vampire Knight, Heroes and House are required for me to get my weekly dose of hype. I still fawn over anime characters even if they will never come alive. Never take your fansubs or scanlators for granted. :)

I write to tell and most of the time it is never need-to-know, capeesh? I enjoy reading, writing, doodling and daydreaming. I specialise in being random, sarcastic, blur and sleepy. Just remember to wake me up, that is all I ask of you. Thanks in advance.
