And guess what it was? "Ben-Hur: a Modern Adaption".<br /> *que the screaming and stomping and general pandemonium*<br /> Needless to say, I marched upstairs and posted that dinky little papercover right back into the system. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/meloncholy-books#post-885 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:12:33 +0000 Pip 885@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Great! We can sob together. What are some parts that really stood out for you in those books, R.? </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/meloncholy-books#post-872 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:18:04 +0000 Rebekah 872@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I've read both of those! Mama's Bank Account was great. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/meloncholy-books#post-841 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:08:12 +0000 Pip 841@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Ooh, yeah! I read that one in a day. The Summer of the Monkeys got my dad crying for the beauty of it; so did Mama's Bank Account, come to think of it! Loverly books. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/meloncholy-books#post-829 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 10:56:34 +0000 Rebekah 829@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>"Where the Red Fern Grows" was really, really sad. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/meloncholy-books#post-811 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:16:40 +0000 Pip 811@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Pip here again; The Red Badge of Courage was prettty sad, so was Great Expectations in some parts. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-665 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:14:07 +0000 Pip 665@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Love scenes, oh go-rossss! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-662 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:43:41 +0000 Alassiel 662@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I just finished it, and frankly, I was disappointed. I'm not sure if it was just my mood, as I was really tired when I read most of it. It seemed to move sorta slow, and everyone seemed to repeat the same things over and over again. He didn't manage to really surprise me with anything, though I suppose that's the result of too much thinking on my part. Also, LB is really bad with writing dialogue, particularly love scenes. </p> <p>However, Rulalin pleased me greatly. I was so happy with the way LB did him, and other's reactions. LB also achieved his purpose in writing these books: he did manage to make me long for the time of restoration and renewal. </p> <p>All in all, it wraps up the series satisfactorily, and if I had been in a better mood reading it, I think I would have enjoyed it more. Oh well. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-641 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:12:13 +0000 Pip 641@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Whoo-hoo! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-636 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:33:21 +0000 Adalin 636@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Yes it is <strong>REALLY</strong> maddening but don't worry he doesn't end the book abruptly. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-625 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:52:34 +0000 Jordan 625@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Yes! All four previous books have ended abruptly. Like, in the middle of a scene, when you most desperately would like to find out what's next!! It's maddening!! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-622 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:22:35 +0000 Pip 622@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Oh dear, is he renown for abruptness?<br /> Glad we are partners in apalled silence, Jordan! Nice to have company. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-619 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:15:48 +0000 Jordan 619@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Neither does mine! *joins Pip in apalled silence*</p> <p>And, yes, Alyosha, <em>All My Holy Mountain</em> is the last book in the series. It'll be interesting to see if Graham can end the series without being abrupt. &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain/page/2#post-612 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:52:04 +0000 Pip 612@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>My library doesn't have the series!!! *apalled silence* </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/all-my-holy-mountain#post-610 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:51:10 +0000 Alyosha 610@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I actually liked Beyond the Summerland quite a lot while I was reading it--enough to read the second book, anyway--though afterwards I was not quite so fond of it. I persevered with the series until halfway through book 3, when I realised that I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters, and also I kept getting everyone's names confused. &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif&quot; title=&quot;:P&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; Which is my own fault I suppose.</p> <p>Is All My Holy Mountain the last book, or are there going to be more? My library doesn't have them, otherwise I might take another stab at it... </p>
