Book Review: Where Rainbows End
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 @ 5:21 PM
Tomorrow is my last day before my autumn break! Yay! However... I will need to learn a lot and finish my assignments. Duh. But let's not think about that for now! I might as well go to the hospital to have my arm x-rayed if the pain doesn't go away by tomorrow. My classmate had a surgery about a week ago, because she had arthritis (=inflammation of a joint, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and redness). But probably I'm just overreacting it, so no worries.
Anywho. I used to post a lot on my personal blog (which I don't update too often nowadays, because if I have something on mind, I just simply write my rantings here), and I remember reading Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern. I plan to post at least one book review a month from now on, because there are seriously many books which are purely awesome, and need some adversiting. (Also, my hand and fingers hurt like hell, so I can't write much.)
So, this is what I wrote about the book some months ago!
"I'm done with the book. 'Where rainbows end' was awesome! I was like "wow", when I finished it (about 2 minutes ago - I have been reading it since this morning, when I got up). I just don't know how should I feel about it. It was funny, sad, happy, heart-warming and... amazing! It also leaves me guessing if it's a true story.
I've read the last 130 pages this morning, without taking a break. It's kind of wierd how Alex's and Rosie's circumstances always change, so they can never really tell how they feel about each other... Like fate is against them. I wonder if my life will change the way Rosie's did? She was full of plans, and didn't want to miss her chance when it came to reaching dreams, still, fate was always in her way. Will this happen to me, too? Will I not be able to reach my goals even after learning and fighting for so many years?
I don't want a child. Rosie didn't want one, too, still, she got pregnant at the age of 18. I know what my dream job is, and so did Rosie, still, because of her child, she couldn't get it. It's like... domino effect.
Seriously, I should stop thinking so much. But I must point out that I have too much free time nowadays, so I don't have anything to do except this.
"From naughty children to rebellious teenagers, Rosie and Alex have stuck by each other through thick and thin. But just as as they're discovering the joys of teenage nights on the town and dating disasters, they're separated. Alex's family move from Dublin to America - and Alex goes with them. For good.Rosie's lost without him. But on the eve of her departure to join Alex in Boston, Rosie gets news that will change her life forever - and keep her at home in Ireland.
their magical connection sees them through the ups and downs of each others lives, but neither of them knows whether their friendship can survive the years and miles - or new relationships. And at the back of Rosie's mind is whether they were meant to be more than just good friends all along. Misunderstandings, circumstances and sheer bad luck have kept them apart, but when presented with the ultimate opportunity, will they gamble everything for true love? "
What do I think about the book after some months have passed? I still think it's GREAT! I love it. It will become one of my all-time favourites, for sure. Even my mother read it (although she didn't like it as much as I did, but her reasons were the following: "I think I know why it annoyed me a bit. This books tells us how much Rosie has suffered, and it makes me remember the time of my life when I was in a situation like that. When everything was about to crash around me.") So, make a visit to the library or go to the nearby bookshop is you have some free time, and want something to read.
