A few pictures I took of mine ♥ It's a bit weary XD But I love how books look after you have read them *u* It makes them look like they're loved, like someone wants to read them and they're not just forgotten somewhere : ) That's part of the reason why I like paperbacks over hard covers : ) Also paperbacks cost less, they're lighter and easier to carry with you everywhere and it's so much more fun reading them for some reason : O I love hardcovers too, don't get me wrong, but the most I love paperbacks : )
But yeah, to the review!
Firstly I have to say this book was really well written, I noticed from the first few dozens of pages. I started reading it a long time ago, and then stopped because I had too many things on my plate and I couldn't concentrate on it, but even after months of not touching the book, and I had read only like 20 or 30 pages, but when I finished another book, The Hunger Games Mockingjay(review to come, soon I hope!!), I didn't really remember what had happened in the beginning but I knew I wanted to read it next.
It certainly is well written, there were parts that were so weird and not to my taste and so confusing that less well written I wouldn't have bothered to read it, it would have been too much work for a not that well written novel. But it kept me reading it every day, even if I only got to read a page or two, and it felt good to finally finish it, I knew I hadn't wasted my time by reading it.
It is a story about a man who has a career in pornography, so it isn't for the most sensitive or young people, it's also quite rough at times, but the pornography and sex stuff doesn't have that much part in the whole book. It is pretty tough reading, since the main character drives off a cliff with his car so that the car sets on fire and he burns really badly, and throughout the book it's about his survival and what the burns make him go through. I was pretty upset at times when reading it and had to stop for some time every now and then, too.
Though mostly the book is a love story, a really weird one, but I really liked it. It's well thought and thoroughly explained as the story goes on, in a very nice way. And between the real story there're little stories of history, and I don't usually like history, but these little stories were great, I really loved them.
I'm not going to write here what it's about, 'cause I'm lazy and I suck telling what a book(or a movie or a song for that matter) is about, but there're lots of places you can find out more about this book! And then you can of course read the back cover ; ) That's what got me to buy this book!~~
Hope you liked this(I'm just an amateur ~____~) Tell me what you think, and how I could make it better!!
