No. I sort of did as well! I wasn't thrilled with the ending though.

Her second book "Disquiet" won the Encore Award.

Both books seems to be about supernatural, and I love this kind of books. So looking forward to reading them.

I don't think I've ever seen so many people walk out of a film (except for A Prophet when people realised there were no subtitles but that due to a tech fault) I was one of the only few that stuck it to the end hoping for some big revelation that would help the whole think make sense except it never came. My final conclusion was that since he was going mad with syphilis they were trying to make the audience feel that way too. Either way it didn't make it a watchable film.
Elski, have you ever walked out of a film? :shifty:
Nope but I would have walked out of 'friend with benefits' if I hadn't been stuck in a row next to the women with nachos who had kindly put them on the floor so you'd be in danger of stepping in them, I did seriously consider vaulting over the front row to get out but more than likely would have injured myself. Since most screenings take me over an hour's walk to get there they'd have to be really bad to justify leaving early when I've walked 3 miles to get there.

You're not! :shifty: You're a book tart! :giggle:

There is no way you could be reading a book called "slap." :rolleyes: What book is that? Does it have any erotica in it? :shifty:

Gosh, I would have made a point in stepping into her stinky nachos! Serves people right who bring that sort of shit into a cinema! However, if you think Friends with Benefits was bad, you clearly have never seen Hunger. Or the Darjeeling Limited. Or Starship Troopers: Marauder. Or Surveillance. :X
