Well.. have you?

I started to read it when I was in 8th grade.. but since I got it from the school library, and school was ending in three weeks and I was busy doing other things.. I only read a bit of it.. I think I got as far as the part where that girl was about to buy those shoes and the guy was going to shoot her.. or something.. its been a few years..

You should read it. It's a good book. Not great, but good.

It's pretty fine, yeah. Much better than a lot of other books I've read.

Twas a good book, it made me go and buy max's other book (only other book at the time) "syrup" and that was a good read aswell, so then i preordered
"Company" and loved it aswell. I thouroughly recomend them all for everyone to read.

I've read part of it, but unfortunately, I never got around to finishing it and a friend borrowed my only copy.

Yes and my copy is even signed by Max. :D

Don't you feel jealous! :p

Are they still making the movie? It always seemed like a movie-book to me.

This thread reads like 'why I haven't done my homework' excuses. :p

Rights have been bought. No movie plans as of yet.....

Don't you feel jealous! :p
Yeah, well, my copy is as of yet not purchased!

Yeah. It's a good read.

A movie is probably being made on the basis there's a ready-made audience for it. Us lot.

Read it as an "Adavance Reading Copy" before publication (neayh neayh - now if only I could get Max to sign it... "To Syniks NRA..." :p ) and just listened to the audio book a couple of weeks ago.

If they botch the movie Max can always contract me out to "deal with" the culprits... :eek: ;)

I hope, if they make a movie from it, Milla Jovovich isn't in it.

-_-

Just a hunch from her previous movies that they would put her in. It would probably ruin the movie.

Oh yeah, that riveting performance where her role was a confused and primal woman who barely spoke english and fought more than she communicated.

So hard to pull off, I know.

Fortune city makes me sad.

Fortune city makes me sad.

Yeah, but you can see "...TH_ELEMENT" in the URL, so you can safely assume it's a picture of The Fifth Element's poster or something.

Not yet. Bought it, but didn't read it yet. So many books to read, and so few time for that...

Always wanted to, but third world bookstores don't get a lot of kickass books...

in protest, "WTF IS JEFFINER GONERVENMT?

As the others have said, it's not outstanding, but it is good. Certainly worth reading, and quite a page turner in places.

Fortune city makes me sad.

I have no idea why. If I did, I'd be sorry.

I just found a picture of Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element. That's all.

I keep going to get it but every time I do I meet an interesting woman and fall in love thus my hard earned book money goes into flowers and the inevitable lonely drink at the pub

So yeah I blame love

It makes him sad because it doesn't let him click the link because you hotlinked directly to the picture. A lot of free sites don't allow that.

Yup, and I'd highly recommed it.

Yeah, I've read JG. It's currently in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. I left in the library of charity that ran weekend English classes. I mean Max doesn't use overly complex words, keeps it all fairly simple and it's an enjoyable read. So that's why I left it there.
...
I hope Max doesn't mind... it's not as if his books are on sale in Uzbekistan c.c

I haven't read Syrup or Company because for some reason I thought they weren't on sale in the UK... I have no idea why for Syrup. I thought there was a legal problem or something. Whereas, Company had a later release date in the UK than the US. So I forgot about buying it. Meh. Maybe I'll buy them after my exams as a treat.

I don't read romance novels. :p

Hmm. The link works for me.

This picture (http://www.tgcom.mediaset.it/bin/226.$plit/C_0_articolo_214635_listatakes_itemTake_0_immaginetake.jpg)is an OK substitute.

Oh Oh

*turns the computer o~~<

Funny thing is, I ran across the book in the library about a week before I found this site randomly linked from another site. I read the back and cover flap and everything, but I decided not to check it out cause I figured it would be dumb.

I guess I'll go ahead and read it one of these days.

I read it. It's not great, but it is tolerable.

This thread reads like 'why I haven't done my homework' excuses. :p

Heh! So true! :D

im getting it on monday
true story!
and im looking forward to it

I've read it; it's a good read.

I read it, ages after it came out, and really liked it.

Though after a few years in early NS and then II, it felt wierd that it wasn't about the amerigo slave wars, or something. I knew it wasn't, but things like that embodied nationstates for me before...

I've read JG and Syrup, both were resonably good. Haven't seen company yet though.

Just the Cliff's Notes and Verdigroth's light murmurs in the sack-cloth city nights.
