Crossed is pretty disturbing, definitley made worse by the graphic novel nature of the story-telling. Haunting. Not to be read by non-horror fans.

David wrote: "Yup 2-3 days for me also Brenda. If a book takes me much longer than that I'm likely to lose track of the plot."
Yes, when they take longer (like Knowledges I'm reading now) I really want to finish, as I want to get onto something else! I'm not one of these people who can/wants to read 900-1000 page books >.< I'm not going to read Stephen King's new one, as it's up there!!!

Everyone's lifestyles are different Michael, so with what you do, 5 days or so is excellent!

Two weeks is the average for me :/

Nope, only two or three days. I don't get that much homework because my teachers don't like giving out homework and I've only just come of age to have a part-time job... so I have a lot of time to spare.

Great review Jesse!
Great review Jesse!


Is not as as good as the previous ones in the series - almost too horrific and creepy considering it is aimed at younger readers than I :)
