Reading Blog Post 7 - Finally!

I have recently stopped reading the book Confession of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson. I just really didn't enjoy the book. It felt just a bit below my reading level and the book itself had no suspense or build up, or at least not what I had read in the book. This book was supposed to be a mystery and a thriller at that, but it just came off as a boring book about a girl trying to solve her parents murder, but she never actually found anything. I was more than halfway through the book when I stopped reading it, a good 150 pages. All in all I would like to tell the author to just put a little more heart into the book and make it more interesting and thrilling. If I had to rate this book I'd probably give it a 4 out of 10 just because it didn't have that much of a story line and left me confused about where the book was going. It was not engaging, but I guess if you're not into reading then you could read it for a nice relaxing read, but it's just not going to keep you engaged, in my opinion.

Now I'm going to start reading a book called Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I was drawn to this book first because of it's cover, which is not the best route to go, but it just looked so simple minded and good. The book is supposedly about two sixteen year olds falling in love. My description doesn't do the book any justice though. I really like how the characters are described in the description on the back cover though, "Eleanor...Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough... Eleanor." and ,"Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat that makes her want to keep promises...Park." I've heard a lot of good things about this book and once I saw the last copy at the bookstore sitting there i just had to pick it up! I'm excited about the book and will shortly tell you what I think of it!
