I've finished reading The Tenth Circle yesterday. The reviews were right. It's definitely a remarkable tale which discusses the true meaning of the parent-child bond. There really is nothing parents won't do for their children. They would literally go to hell and back just to keep their child safe. Nothing can ever compare to that. Plus, the story is wrapped around a very controversial issue, which many of us are aware of but haven't really gotten a good look at. The Tenth Circle shows how a husband and wife, with secrets of their own, deal with the crisis plaguing their child, as well as themselves.

Jodi Picoult is definitely one heck of a storyteller. She writes with intricate detail, making the novel impossible to put down.  She broke out of the traditional storytelling scenario and incorporated artwork and illustrations with her narrative. She collaborated with Dustin Weaver, a very talented comic book artist, to produce a graphic novel that would give depth to the story. The result is a novel with a perfect weaving of artwork and narrative. Picoult's mind is pure genius.

Reading this book convinced me to continue rummaging through her growing list of published works. I guess I'm going to put off re-reading New Moon. I was just too caught up with how real Picoult's works are that I had to temporarily leave the green and rainy town of Forks (and La Push for that matter). Next on my Picoult list: My Sister's Keeper :)

According to Stephenie Meyer's official site, her next project would be Midnight Sun. For those of you who don't know yet, it's Twilight, told from Edward's perspective. Nothing new's going to happen, just loads of mesmerizing lines from the man we all daydream about. Oh, admit it! Hahaha. But to be perfectly honest, I wasn't exactly thrilled to hear about it. We all know Edward's a sweetheart. In fact, he's already drowned us with his captivating words on all 3 books. And then there's still Breaking Dawn. So Midnight Sun might be just.. I don't know, too redundant? Hahaha forgive me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope Meyer would start writing the sequel to The Host instead! I really fell in love with this book and I think it truly deserves to be a series. It's better than Twilight. So you guys better check it out! But don't go looking for any traces of Edward or you'd be downright disappointed. Lol. Bottom line is, I believe The Host is the best story Meyer has told so far. Ending it as it is would be a total shame. It deserves more than just 600 pages. Who has read it? Don't you agree with me? Anyone?? Hahahaha

I was thinking of putting labels on all my entries.. But I haven't quite figured out how that entire thing works so I don't know, maybe not. And I don't really like my entries appearing on multiple labels. It would like, limit the things I could blog about in an entry, right? Okay so no labelling, then. Hahaha XD OC, I KNOW. SO JUST SHYADDAAAAP! :))
