I feel like the only person ever that didn't like it. I didn't think it was BAD, but it wasn't anything I would particularly remember (other than all sorts of online raves now..). Maybe I was just oblivious to some underlying theme?

I ...That was totally my experience with this book! I felt like EVERYONE was reading it forever, but every time I read the synopsis it just didn't seem interesting to me at all! I put it on reserve at the library at least 2x, but cancelled it both times because I just wasn't interested in reading it. <br /><br />Recently, it was recommended to me for the umpteenth time and that coupled with the fact that I knew the movie was out and Reese Witherspoon was in it (love her!) and I wanted to see it, but I like to read the books first because the movie is never as good as the book, I FINALLY read it a couple weeks ago and I LOOOOVED it! I can't believe I waited so long to read it!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281152742477496810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-39015079314489355272011-06-14T08:47:12.980-07:002011-06-14T08:47:12.980-07:00I was skeptical about jumping on this band wagon t...I was skeptical about jumping on this band wagon too but oh my gosh, so glad I did! Great book...hard to read at times [I'm a huge lover of animals] but still excellent. The movie, believe it or not, is just as good which is hard to say. I read the book a long time ago so I can't be certain all the details were spot on. But I still really enjoyed it.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204415329892149964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-18937779176196404232011-06-14T08:39:58.219-07:002011-06-14T08:39:58.219-07:00Confesion?
