Parajunkee's Friday Hop!

i found Parajunkee's Friday from Katie's Blog, while I was bloghopping from Jennifer's (Crazy for books) hop. And the question is interesting :-)

Question: What is your favourite brick and mortar bookstore?

These are the available chain in my country

1. Popular Bookstore

2. MPH Bookstore

3. The Borders

4. Kinokuniya (only available in KLCC Twin Tower...)

Well, i am a member for Popular & MPH Bookstore....At the moment, I think I prefer Popular cause member gets discount for any book purchase.. ngeeeee

:-)

How about you?

ps: if are in UK (London), tell me which is your favourite bookstore.

3-6 September ..lalalalalala......

Woweee.... Its friday again. my favourite day of the week. Its end of the working day and when i reached home, i have friday-blog-hop activity :)

This week question:

Do you judge a book by its cover?

People always say don't judge a book by its cover... hahah.

The truth is I sometimes DO!! Especially when i was at the bookstore looking for bookss..and also when I was browsing on web. Well, there are book covers which are really NOT acceptable at all.. ( well.... i can't think of any now :P )

That's that.

So, what's yr comment? I think there might be someone out there who just likes to pick book which the cover is unique and different from otherss..

Feel free to comment :-)

This week blog hop question is:

Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

I don't. At the moment. But i've been thinking to have ratings too but yet to find creative ratings design :P

I saw some interesting rating system before. Some are so cute and some kinda give serious impression ..

Well, that's about it..

The Girl Who Played With Fire

Complete Reading:

19th August 2010

Book Cover:

Not in my favorite list.

Pages:

724 pages

Characters:

There are many new characters introduce in this 2nd book. The investigation team includes Bubble and many others. I kinda picture them working like those in the CSI TV series.

Story:

When I began reading this book, it is kinda boring :P. I think Larrson is always slow into getting towards the action part. The first half of the book, i actually put the book down few times. I don't understand why Larsson have to potrait Lisbeth as lesbian. Are all european like that? tell me!

The story started to get interesting when the murder happened. I was curious and kept guessing where was Lisbeth hiding? The big secret of "ALl the evil" is not so scary or surprising. I think Lisbeth overreacts :P

I don't understand why she didn't die after being shot few times and buried alife. Is this some kind of superhero novel? Oh.. come on..The ending is sort of so sudden.

I am not sure whether to continue read the final book of the trilogy. Maybe, if I find someone for book-swap, then i'll read it :)
