Books I Need to Reread to Review.

I really enjoyed it. It was part medical drama, part crime thriller. I am going to read the other books in the series.
(That was written over six years ago. I was so detailed back then, wasn't I? When I re-read it, I will definitely have to re-review it as well. Also funny to note, since then I have often thought of re-reading this book and finishing the series, but haven't gotten around to it yet. All my good intentions regarding books are so often distracted by pretty covers and trendy new authors. Oh well, one day hopefully.)

Had to read this for year 12 English and I didn't really understand it and therefore didn't enjoy it. I find both situations strange as I am usually drawn to Australian war stories, fiction and non-fiction. Maybe it deserves a re-read with my older, more mature brain...one day.

Read it for year 12 English. Probably would have enjoyed it more if we hadn't been forced to read the whole book out loud as a class - some of the scenes were not the kind to be read out loud with idiotic teenage boys jeering at the sex scenes (well, I thought they were sex scenes when I was 17). Despite that horribly embarrassing experience I enjoyed the story and should probably read again now that it's 10 years down the track.

I read this for Year 8 English. I vaguely remember the fact that I read it, barely remember the plot. It's lucky the cover is the same as the one I owned, otherwise I never would have remembered that I did in fact read it, a long time ago. I think I found it an okay read.
Not an engrossing story. I didn't feel much of anything for either of the lead characters, and so the story hasn't stuck in my memory very well, I can't remember exactly why I didn't like it, just that I didn't enjoy it much. Sorry, not a very useful critique.
This was a good story, but not enough romance for me. Also a bit shorter than I usually like, not enough time for proper character development.
I liked the story, but found the romance a bit violent for me. Sometimes it seemed closer to force than a romance should involve (in my opinion).
:) Re-reading that review makes me smile. I originally read this when I was in my early 20s and a bit more innocent in my reading tastes. If I ever have the chance to re-read this after reading the whole series from the start I imagine it'll get a better rating and more descriptive review. Considering the length of my to-read list, which are all unread not re-reads, that's a pretty big if.
I really enjoyed this book. It had good romance, good humour and was nice and long, so plenty of character development and interesting plot lines.
