Hi there - I reviewed (http://bookgazing.blogspot.com/2009/02/looking-for-alaska-john-green.html). What I'm loving about this WG week is that it means I make a big effort to go out and look for other reviews about the books I've read and find wonderful analysis of books I enjoyed.

Thanks again for the recommendation. Here's my re...

Thanks for a great review that convinced me to read this book!

I really need the push to go out and find a copy.

You can read my thoughts on it here.

Awesome I will start to plan my list for you! finished Middlesex a few days ago and really liked it. Am behind on my reviews but will try and get one up before the end of the month.

Teddy Rose: So is mine, so is mine :P

Rhinoa: I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying Middlesex so far! And I think you'd enjoy Looking for Alaska. I want to join less challenges next year, but I know I won't be able to stay out of them completely. Plus I'm really enjoying your challenge so far too, so yes, count me in! You already got me thinking of which books to pick for you :P

Definitely sounds interesting. I am reading my first Jeffrey Eugenides and really enjoying it so far. If I still enjoy it as much by the end as well as the Douglas Coupland book on my list I will look out for this one. I know you are limiting yourself challenge wise next year, but I have really enjoyed the challenge we have been doing together and would be up for another round if you are.

Awesome review Nymeth! You just added another one to Mt. TBR. It's certain to have an avalanche any minute now. LOL!

Melody: It's such a pretty cover, isn't it? It's also really soft..I kept stroking it as I was reading :P

Jessica: I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

Marmiteandtea: Thanks. It's such a great book, isn't it?

What a thoughtful review. I may have to obtain this book TODAY. I love the comparison to The Virgin Suicides. Your review conjured up that ethereal feel for me.

2008-07-23T11:40:48.335+01:00

The premise does sounds interestng, Nymeth! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and even read it in one sitting... that must be something!! ;) Love the cover too.

2008-07-23T02:00:09.153+01:00

Andi, I hope you find it!

Trish: I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on it. I hope you find it as compelling as I did!

Debi: I think you'll like this one a lot. And I'm glad you already own it, this way I don't have to feel guilty :P

Eva: Thank you for recommending it for the southern reading challenge!

Chris: That's so cool that you thought of The Virgin Suicides too! The movie is really faithful to the book - one of the best adaptations I've ever seen, in fact. And a lot of what the narrators say is straight out of the book. I really think you'll like this one.

Amanda: I'm glad to hear I made you want to read it! And thanks for the tag. You're the second person to tag me for that meme, actually. I promise I will get to it eventually.

Lightheaded: We're even :P

Mrs S and Jeane, I hope you both enjoy it!

Care, thank you, you're too sweet. And I'm so happy to hear you liked Stardust!

You do excellent reviews. (I loved your P&P review but couldn't think of anything original to say) I wanted to let you know that I read Stardust per your influence - THANK YOU.

Other reviews of this book have left me somewhat indifferent, but yours hooked me. It's on my TBR now!

2008-07-21T16:36:54.539+01:00

Wow! Great review! I've read other reviews on this book and they haven't made me want to read the book but yours definitely did. It's on my TBR list now :)

2008-07-21T08:08:59.816+01:00

This sounds like such an amazing book! I've had it on my wishlist for a little while now, but it's getting bumped up now. I love the quote that you gave. I was thinking that it reminded me of The Virgin Suicides (the movie, I haven't read the book) and then you alluded to the book! I'll have to read this for sure! Thanks for another beautiful review :)

Oh Nymeth, you're just too damn good at this whole review thing, you know?!! Do you think it is even a remote possibility that I will not now have to go dig this out of the TBR shelves? In case, you're wondering...no, not a possibility. Not at all. In fact, here I go...

2008-07-20T22:52:50.661+01:00

I've almost picked this one up several times but have always passed it up (I think I may have read a negative review which kept me from getting it...?). I'll have to get it next time I see it--especially with October's read-a-thon in mind. Thanks for the beautiful review, Nymeth.

Wow, this one sounds veryyyy interesting. Will be looking for it on Bookmooch.
