At the beginning I wasnt a fan of the narrator of white nights. Nastenka says like look you ask for a moment of a womans time an  suddenly you're asking for more (I favoured her.) And in the beginning when she said just dont fall in love with me i was like fair. But she did him dirty in the end.
  I prefered white nights to Bobok which I didn't understand much

I really enjoyed the short chapters and fast pace. I loved the twists and turns especially at the begining, it certainly had my attention.
However I hate when books use the child as a sort of unexpected out. I also felt M didn't really have enough of a motive to be doing this all, it was unbelievable
The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult

Just started the book and it already reads a bit too textbooky to me. I also don't like how she has a husband but has clearly been yearning after this guy for years. If your not over someone DONT GET MARRIED!

I dont think Ed would of ever talked to Bella if sbe didn't smell so tasty and if he could read her mind.
Appart from this I have only watched the movies and I loved in this book how at the begining Bella's personality is a lot more in depth (ironically seen through Edwards eyes.)
