Attachments By: Rainbow Rowell





   *Sigh* I'm not sure how to feel about this book. I love it and at the same time I feel cheated out of an ending.
   Attachments is a story about Lincoln O'Neill, a man employed for "Internet security". Really, the job entails Lincoln reading the emails of the employees at The Courier. Although the job makes Lincoln feel a bit like a creep, he starts to enjoy the job a bit more when he encounters the emails of Beth and Jennifer. Two friends who have a sharp wit, a caring heart, and a procrastination problem. Things start to get crazy when Lincoln starts to fall for Beth. He knows everything about her, but she doesn't even know he works there. Or does she?
   This book bothers me. I can't strictly say it was a good book, but I can't say that it's bad either. The story was good, but it seemed like it wasn't finished. Like when you do a term paper the night before it's due and you think it's done when really, you stopped your thought process once you hit the word count you needed.
   It felt like I was waiting for the book to start. I kept reading and reading and by the time I got to page 300 I was still waiting. For all the detail put into the book, the ending made it all for nothing. An epilogue would have made a world of difference. The characters were well developed, but it seemed like the plot was almost forgotten about.
   I wouldn't recommend this book for the sheer fact that the ending will disappoint you.

The last update I swear!

Being the amateur reviewer I am, a lot of what I've done on this blog is experimental. How I write my posts, what I review, and when I post. The ladder is why I am writing to you. For the past year my posts have been erratic and all over the place. I have decided that I am going to schedule my posts. Once a week I will post a thorough review. No longer will I post three sentences. I will also warn you ahead of time if i will be delayed in posting due to the length of the book or other circumstances.

I am starting Attachments by Rainbow Rowell today so you can expect a review next week.

Happy Holidays and I'll post to you soon.

Revising

   I have come to the conclusion that my reviews are lacking substance. They give less than bare bones. Due to this error I am re-writing all of my reviews starting from the beginning.  So far I have done two but I am working as quickly and as accurately as possible. To read the revised reviews simply go to the archive of October 2014.
    I have also come to the conclusion that I will no longer be closing my blog. I also will now have a review schedule. I will be posting one thoroughly written review a week. The days may vary depending on the length of the book as well as the amount of school work I have. But Lurking in the Pages will continue. New reviews will start as soon as the old ones are fixed up.

Happy Reading!
