IMO anyway. I kind of got that it was going to hit the emotional end of the spectrum when I saw the previews, and avoided it. Like I said, the book was fantastic - also very emotional, but in a very real and human-connection way. I wish there could have been a different way for it to end - even though I have to admit that it was an inevitable ending. Good stuff. Read it, if you haven't.<br /><br />(Do you find it annoying when people add the "H" to IMO = In My Humble Opinion ? I do. If you're going to give your opinion, at least admit that you're not actually humble about it, if you have something to say, just say it, and don't pretend that you think your opinion isn't very important - it's yours!)<br /><br />Anyway.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983746514527346177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787651.post-56019134248460089862009-09-18T16:10:50.958-05:002009-09-18T16:10:50.958-05:00I'm noticing a trend with the fantasy genre. T...I'm noticing a trend with the fantasy genre. That is, use a fantasy gimmick then don't elaborate on the fantasy gimmick at all, which is what the fantasy genre is ABOUT. Rather just use the fantasy gimmick then proceed to tell a story you could have told without the fantasy gimmick. I'm thinking of Twilight. It's disgusting and cheap and exploitation.
