Thingamy Take 2 - Korma's Book

[FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName]

I hope I've got the right book here...if I haven't, I'm sure you'll be able to tell from the unintelligible ramblings below.

I thought this was going to be mis lit and read the first few chapters with trepidation. But soon I started to love this main character; to empathise with him; to worry about him. I wanted to know how this would all pan out and how he would resolve his issues (if he would).

Best of all, I liked (in a weird way) his family. His dad, in particular, was such a strong cameo. I cried a few times over him and I loved the fact that his illness made him more compassionate and more loving!

And I was willing our lead to get the girl in the end (sappy I know, but I can't resist a good neat ending).

Russ was a great character too. I pictured him as Milo Ventimiglia (circa Gilmore girls) and could imagine his rage and frustration and acting out.

This was good. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you Korma!

Received today - will read when I have finished current book (shouldn't be too long).

Hey, it's Peter Petrelli!

I liked him too. For some reason I like the narrator's voice better when he was just being a first-person character than when he was writing his columns, and I think it's very clever of the author to be able to get a different voice for the two, even though they are the same person.

I was a little disappointed with the gun scene, not the scene itself but the very existence of a gun scene. It seemed unrealistic and to somehow not fit, but maybe if I were in the US with guns being more a part of everyday life it wouldn't jar so much.

Forgot to say I really liked the date chapter, all the talking.
