I've never read gwtw, but I gave up on Scarlett quickly (I was bored, and the book was there). Tell me, have YOU read GWTW?Kelly Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324622421797199560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211974510426729195.post-90461889616717608892009-12-18T14:37:24.409-06:002009-12-18T14:37:24.409-06:00"All that remains is for him to start drinkin..."All that remains is for him to start drinking artificial blood and enroll in high school."<br /><br />*snort* Well, let's see you do better. Umm, nevermind. <br /><br />Sequels are generally lousy- is it because they lack the originality and the spark of a new creation? Or if they get too original, it doesn't match the ideas that people have spend decades forming?<br /><br />The only exception was the Peter and the Starcatchers books by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, (prequels, actually) to Peter Pan. Those were fantastic. We read the first one out loud as a family and the kids loved it. -KellyKelly Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324622421797199560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211974510426729195.post-66055507588721250662009-12-18T08:27:47.111-06:002009-12-18T08:27:47.111-06:00Oh and that's "not been able."

Your review was the icing on the cake; I'll avoid it.<br /><br />It's like my good friend @BookLove says, "There are simply too many good books on my to-read list to waste time on bad ones."T.
