I thought the movie looked boring and rather depressing so I've been avoiding it, but I think I'm going to have to check it out now. Hmmmm--and definitely curiuos about the ending!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253232837359768277.post-88946948658746226382011-11-06T04:06:58.466+01:002011-11-06T04:06:58.466+01:00I've been wary of reading this book, consideri...I've been wary of reading this book, considering all the hype surrounding it. It does sound very very good though, and I probably should read it.anothercookiecrumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295036544621940335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253232837359768277.post-12296311474946609732011-11-01T22:44:46.204+01:002011-11-01T22:44:46.204+01:00Joanna, great review :) I felt very much like you ...Joanna, great review :) I felt very much like you did about One Day: if you can' relate to events or people, you won't enjoy it half as much. <br /><br />The end was a cop-out pure and simple.

To me ...I understand what you mean with the ending. To me it felt more like the writer didn't know how to end it so chose this kind of Deus Ex Machina to avoid giving an ending either way. But I still loved that book, mostly for the same reasons as you ;-)Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224853482802048992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253232837359768277.post-53561762508355112712011-10-29T17:15:21.633+02:002011-10-29T17:15:21.633+02:00My reaction was the opposite of yours.

That being said, it is too bad the ending doesn't seem to be working for anyone!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.com
