altogetherisiBelieve me, there will be many.
This is the incoherent, and thus spoiler free one. I imagine there will be at least one that is more coherent without spoilers and at least one with muchly spoilers, when we are allowed to do such things. Fellow fish, is there actually a date people agreed that we are allowed? Have I imagined that we aren't meant to? Whatever, that isn't this post. This post is the one where I say
OH.
MY.
GOD.
IT'S FREAKING AMAZING.
Literally. I am amazed. I am stunned. I am dazzled. I am enchanted. I am addicted.
When I say all I've done since Monday is read it, and then read it again, and then read it some more, I am not kidding. You guys, just
EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words are, quite literally, failing me. But, Sarah so so so did not fail. At alll. In any sense.
It is VERY HIGH QUALITY WIN. Brilliant, marvelous, gorgeous.
I've said for a while now that I wanted to marry the Finnish cover of this book, and I do, but now I can say that, not judging the book by its cover guys, I really love this book frantically, desperately, deeply. I don't think there was one single thing I didn't like. I read ever single word in the correct order, and I adored each and every one and the simply superb whole they formed. Genuinely, I can't think of anything, any character, any plot point, that I didn't like. Seriously good.
Fish, our fandom is gonna to rock so so much.
And, just for the record, I would like to say that I did see the big twist everyone has talked about coming. I don't think it reduced its sheer emotional impact any, though I suppose technically I couldn't know that. It was like knowing it was coming, I could feel it coming, and I kept wanting not to be right, but I was and just oh. The pain and the beauty.
God, I love Sarah so much.
I carry it around the house with me. I sleep with it next to me. I CAN'T STOP READING IT.
I keep saying I'm meant to be revising, but seriously, since I bought this book on Monday, I've done maybe two hours of revision. Which is ridiculous, and foolish; I'm going to fail all my exams and never make anything of myself and I'm going to spend the rest of my life (and any benefits money) on books, Sarah's books, this book in particular, and I DON'T CARE, its a totally valid lifestyle choice you guys, ok?!
Ack, I'm meant to be going to see Star Trek again later, but I have no idea which squeefest will hold my attention. I just.
So, so good.

Date: 2009-05-27 10:17 pm (UTC)Yeah they were immensely repetitive and I finished them only because I'd got halfway and was determined to finish! After the seventh book they did get original plots. And then I didn't read them for years but recently I did and now love them because you can tell they were written by someone who loves literature and allusions. I mean, a hunchback called Hugo?! A guy who lives on a desert island and tells everyone to 'call me Ish'?! A guy who is a poor moral leader and sits with his feet in clay all day so that he LITERALLY has feet of clay?! I admit I got over-excited at the things I never picked up aged 13.
I know, it is a dilemma. :( I AM SO JEALOUS!! I wanted so badly to get tickets to Hamlet but it didn't happen. I almost cried on my birthday when my mum told me 'we thought about getting you tickets for Hamlet but got distracted'. *sad sigh* But I expect he will be in other plays. And maybe the Doctor Who hype will have calmed down and tickets will be less like diamonds and gold dust. Maybe!
