Book Comments (906)

I've read most of Anne Rice's books, but this series. It has been very difficult for me to get my hands on a copy of any of the Beauty Books. I've read "Belinda" very much into this same line, but I have always wanted to read Beauty...If someone knows of a way that I can read them, hit me.

My brother thought I looked bored while staying with him, so he tossed me this book to read. It isn't the type that I usually read, but I found it interesting.

It changed my way of thinking, you have to really believe, have no doubts, and it WILL work! Apply it every day..with no doubts Love it

I saw the film and it improved my mood :)

Ok, if you aren't prepared for NC-17 style sex scenes this book is not for you... But if you like that kind of thing then you will absolutely adore this series... It all starts with the kidnapping of Beauty and goes from there... Excellent read.... I personally have read it two or three times...

I've never been too much of a Stephen King fan, but most of his books that have been made into movies, I love. Specially this one, The Green Mile. Now reading your review of the book,I'll try to get it and read it, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Excellent Read followed up with an excellent sequel world without end.

Great Book. I often find myself wishing to live this life.

Great Read!

Couldn't agree more!

This is one of the best books ever written.
It is quite Spiritual and Enlightening.
I absolutely recommend anyone to read this wonderful piece of Literature.

Great book , it does get over hyped by alot of people but still it is one of the all time greats

I have to say I loved it

Even Funnier than the movie!

I am on the fifth book, really loving them! Can't wait to see the movies...are they as good as the books?

Loved it :)

I am liking this book :)

Its good

I finished them a few months ago and I have to update my comment because I freakin' love these books!

i loved the book but life still hard and not everything we want in life we can get it :(

I have really enjoyed this series too. Great with a glass of red.

Much, much better than I expected. Not everything is black and white or good and evil. Have become a real fan. Just finished reading the last one and I really miss them. Ho hum

I dont read this book, but I saw this film)) after i saw it, my look to life changed) very interesting and informative film

The best in the Langdon series so far in my opinion


The twists at the end were great.

I enjoy the books and have read all 5 a bit more than a few times

The movie was AWFUL and I will watch New Moon but don't have high hopes.

The books were decent good story but not worth all the hype at all. Meyers is not the greatest writer in the world and I defiantly prefer other vampire series over this one

I enjoy his books but yes they are predictable but his new one is NOT until the very end



I liked Angels and Demons more than Davinici and have not seen the movie

I think I just enjoy looking at Eric more than anything else


and I agree with you completely on all your other points


I too want to fix Anna's teeth

I do like Dan brown books, but half way through the book, I knew how it was going to end, thats the only problem with most of his books, you know how its going to end, well I did, lol..

this book change my life

I've got to admit that I haven't read the books. Did see the movie and couldn't for the life of me see what all the fuss is about.

Now I do know how much better books are from the movies made from them but the basic story between Edward and Bella has to be similar seeing as it is what carries the story.

But doesn't anyone else see what I see when I watched the movie? A vampire, that while looking like a young man, is in reality close on 100 years old, chasing a 16 year old girl. Now put that in terms of say an 80 year old man diddling with a 16 year old girl. Hmm, now see, there is a very particular term for that sort of thing and it usually involves a prison sentence and a great deal of social castigation and condemnation.

Edward is a paedophile. What difference does it make that he's a vampire? He is still old enough to be Bella's great grandfather. If Bella had been 10 years older, with an adult and much more mature perspective and attitude then different matter. She would have been making rational choices in being with someone that much older than herself. We all know what teenage hormones are like and rational doesn't even come close to entering the equation. Anyone of Edward's advance age would be well aware of this.

Oh, and Bella doesn't get off either. The term spoilt brat comes to mind.

I've read the books and while I enjoyed them I wouldn't class Dan Brown as a great writer. He is a formula writer at best. He is just lucky that he hit on the right formula to make himself millions. The plots in his books are nearly identical to each other. Read one and you've practically read them all.

An enjoyable read, yes, but hardly world shaking. If it wasn't for certain claims he made at the beginning of The Da Vinci Code he would still be wallowing in the sea of mediocrity and would be a relative unknown in the literacy world.

Yes, the characters....... Hmm. lol. I had to do more than just a double take when Tara came on screen! Really, WTF? Why the need to change her from white to black? Her personality is nothing like the books either.

Sookie is suppose to be stacked and well.. no amount of push up bras with padding will ever make Anna Paquin that well endowed. Plus I keep wanting to take her to the dentist to get that gap between her front teeth fixed.

Bill and Eric just fall flat, neither is convincing in their role. Actually, Bill leaves me cringing!

Jason, another bit character in the books is now more centre stage. Ryan Kwanton has always been good to look at which is a plus. But why make him into a himbo? He isn't suppose to be an Einstein but he also isn't suppose to be quite so dirt stupid either.

Quinn is described as being very yummy. I am not looking forward to seeing who they choose for the role because I've no doubt he will be nothing like his description.

The books just give far more to their readers than the TV series will ever give to it's viewers. Which is a major shame.

actually that is very true and I agree with you completely.


I have read her other books: Aurora Teagarden and Lily Bard series and they are really good as well. Same type of writing-stream of conscienceless-and same kind of action, non stop they are very good

True Blood in my opinion has ruined the series with the adaptation. If they were closer in the story line made through Harris it would be better even keeping the same actors. As far as the actors are concerned here's where I have a problem. Season 2 Eric cut his hair short but vampires hair would grow right back-this is why Bill has huge sideburns and he makes the comment about the full beard. Bill has stubble like he needs to shave-same concept. Sookie is supposed to be very well endowed--ummmm Anna Paquin is NOT well endowed. Tara is a side character in the books-AND WHITE

it's more the little things the show has done that have made it difficult to watch (although I still do) but it does seem like a totally new thing even though I have read the books the show is different.

I am curious as to whether they will show the Eric losing his memory basically the same because it is such a relevant part and I am curious to see who plays Quinn because the way Harris describes him is yummy

this book is awsome

I agree with you... and the book is usually better than the movie. Dan Brown is a great writer! his stories r very well elaborated, once I start reading his books I can't stop! I always want to know more.... Have u tried Digital Fortress? I loved that one too... I can't wait to read the Lost Symbol (it is not out in my country yet :(

Loved this series!

have not come across this book or author but i shall take ur recommendation to heart and purchase a copy

Will Granny Weatherwax Nanny Ogg and Magrat garlick outlive their creator. A new witches tale has long been anticipated by myself but Terry has not been forthcoming.

I am half-way through the French version of this book. I came across it from a review article in the New York Times. To say the least, Johnathan Littell has an outrageous and wild imagination. The book is very dark. In fact, the darkness runs trough almost every page of the book. It is very well written though, but I think it has way too many details! When I am done with it, I don't think I'll ever read it again!

I like the general idea of this book, i might read it sometime. Thanks for the recommendation.

dostoeviski...a giant amongst his contemporaries and in the present time he is immortal his work my favourite is the possessed. brothers karamazov has me spell bound and i read it every year as i do all his other books crime and punishment/the idiot/white nights[short stories] the insulted and the humiliated. how do i describe dostoeviski's books when i was sixteen i read him and still do and my inner voice then told me "here is someone in the wide world who understands me" no author past or present for me. the begining and end for me dostoeviski... my friend my love . he has all my adoration devotion what else can i say..? dostoeviski i belong to you...

I must say good choice,anything that teaches a proper vision is the way 2 go.Kind of reminded me of the books by Og Mandingo's books a little,the greatest sales man is a great book,as well.Anything with a new angle and new options on any focus is the step 2 the top, the wisdom alone is the great key to lifes locked doors.Thanks.

Hi, Steph, I agree with you. I learnt a lot from this book. Had to queue up waiting for my son to finish it first, though.
