well here i go again... getting too absorbed in my books and falling in love with the characters right before the book ends. haha. i love philip pullman. hes an absolute genius. BRILLIANT. him and madeleine l'engle and shakespeare and jason mraz and don mclean... i wish i had that way with words... and i would give anything to be in a room with one of them. haha. or all of them, that would be cool. maybe. so anyways there i was in love with fred and jim and eveyrbody, and practically yelling at sally for not marrying frederick... and then fred goes and dies trying to save isabel after setting himself on fire so im crying... and theres sally with his baby. and then she goes and says shell marry axel and ends up blowing everything up and getting miss worth's money back... or whatever her name is. the best part about phil (haha first name terms) is that hes got the emotional aspect and hes the best at suspense and tying characters together... and right when you think youve got it all figured out and hes surprised you as much as is humanly possible... there he goes again and almost gives you a coronary! haha. hes high on my recommendation list as you can tell. i have to say i think i like "his dark materials" better than sally lockhart though. but its tough. and maddy? also pure genius... i love how she ties all her characters together, its thrilling. when im in a lighter mood i adore georgia nicolson, the most hilarious girl in the history of the world. i want to see that movie btw. just bcuz. and while im at it i think ill start talking like georgie and saying things like "full-frontal snogging" and "gorgy" and "nuddy-pants." haha. thank you kat for introducing us... so this one was boring i guess. sorry. its on my mind and i HAD to rave about phil, hes double cool with knobs ;-)
