WHY WOULD A CLASS EVER ASSIGN ME TO READ THE THIRD BOOK IN A SERIES WITHOUT HAVING READ THE FIRST TWO. WHY.

Even if they work as standalones. I am still a bookworm at heart and I have a moral compass for god's sake.

Anyway this was fine. I had to force myself to read it in less than 24 hours (because I did not plan this well) and that was less than ideal and included a binge reading session from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. and the font was smaller than I would have liked but I didn't hate it.

Also I didn't really like it?? Probably closer to dislike if I had to choose my side.

Wow my brain is dead when did I lose my ability to not need sleep I cannot form sentences so now seems like a good time to type up some assigned homework sentences about this book am I right. Oh man my brain feels like a marshmallow.

Bottom line: I have basically zero opinions on this. So. Dope that it's for class and I'll have to spend the next 1.5 weeks making some up.

Caught Between Pages Novel into Film? Important notes: Ripley's sexuality is questionable (weirdly into his house/belongings), and the descent into evil for Jon (was he /really/ forced into it, or did he choose to be a baddie for once in his boring, safe life?)
