I have always loved reading novels. The ones I love to read are the kind that involves heart-warming or inspirational stories, which is why some of my go-to authors are Mitch Albom and Nicolas Sparks(yup! I am corny like that! Haha.) This very reason made me hesitant to read this book that my friend was trying to make me read. It was by Sidney Sheldon, The Sky is Falling. I was told that it wasn't really my kind of novel but I might find it interesting... And so I did, I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. I'm not really sure how to describe the book, but it was definitely an experience. It had enough "bite" to keep my heart pounding through the last pages of the book. My heart was POUNDING, over a BOOK?! And the characters and twists are well thought of and well crafted, almost at par with the Bourne series. Needless to say, I was hooked! I was so hooked that I missed dinner and made me forget about exams and deadlines. I am definitely buying myself a copy of the book, and probably more of his other works later.

PS. My first anniversary as a blogger and my 21st birthday are fast approaching... it would be nice to receive Sidney Sheldon book/s as gifts. Haha! Demanding?

ReplyDeleteAko naman, talagang sa Harry Potter book series ako na hooked. Tapos ko na lahat yung 7 book series. Medyo nakaka nosebleed nga lang at nakakadugo ng utak yung mga malalalim na english na ginamit ni JK Rowling kaya lagi akong may katabing dictionary hehe!
