But what annoys me more than whiny characters are the oblivious characters and the 'bad' slutty flirty characters.<br /><br /> One can't tell her boyfriend isn't normal despite all the signs and the other tries for a guy with not only overly overt flirting but with some terrible slutty edge stuff. Seriously, if you're going to flirt, at least be good at it.<br /><br />I sent this blog post to my blog. I'm working on a novel myself, maybe you'll review it one day.<br /><br />And your blog's name is cute and I like your reviewing style.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448453094913505379.post-9656390519419312872011-12-02T13:26:12.813-08:002011-12-02T13:26:12.813-08:00Typos and grammar mistakes are my big peeve too!

You're reading Nineteen Eighty-Four? YES! This book CHANGED MY LIFE, and made me realise that a book could be powerful--about more than just entertainment. They can enlighten, educate, instill <em>dangerous ideas</em> that can shape, create, redefine and educate futures, prejudices, entire lives. Oh, la!
