Filmi görmeseydim, bu kitabı asla bitiremezdim. Tamamdı - ikinci yarı ilkinden daha iyiydi - ama kitap sürekli Nick'in kafasına gerçekten girme konusunda kötü bir iş çıkardı.
I've been dismissing this book till now, judging it from its cover or more precisely, all the covers of all the editions of this book featuring the same 'come-hither' look. If the characters are complex, the plotline is appealing, there is some realism in the story, and the protagonist is not a two-bit slut going into season every full moon(as in a lot of YA "romance" books, full of forbidden love and love-triangles/quadrilaterals, etc, flying around on Goodreads, all rip-offs of each other; see here: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/22... ), I will certainly read it. My hate for the books mentioned within the parentheses comes from a time before I'd discovered Goodreads, when I'd finished Vampire Academy & Twilight and such, and a google search 'books like vampire academy' sent me to sites featuring apparently "enthralling" books with lots of shapeshifting, magic and romance. What came as a surprise (not a very pleasant one) was the vivid descriptions of a number of slutty activities, that repulsed me, a boy of 14 or so. I'd never found any such descriptions in Vampire Academy or Twilight, and was horrified to find these fully described in books that are apparently "books+like+vampire+academy". This is what led to my prejudice against all such books, which I still haven't overcome. And looking at the cover of 'Poison Study', when I find a girl (woman?) beckoning, I immediately dismissed it. This was when I first encountered this book, when I first discovered the enormous resource that is Goodreads, and had no friends who could give good ratings & reviews to this book and propel me to read it. Now, I come back few years later and find six friend reviews with good things to say of this book. And then my eye falls on the number of ratings and reviews of this book, I begin to think my earlier dismissal of this book was probably prejudiced. So, I will now have to read this book as soon as possible. (Probably August, 2012, as I've god 12th grade finals and medical entrance exams till then, and presuming I get admitted into a good medical institution, and haven't comitted suicide out of failure to do so.)
