Glorious. More please.

>At Christmas I no more desire a rose Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled mirth.

Can anyone explain this to me? Shakespeare quote.

Let's try something a bit different:
>Gamer Girl had me addicted all the way through--don't get me wrong about that. This book, however, was on its way to four stars (it was amazing, but it just didn't have the five star sparkle) until the very end.

>Mari Mancusi has written a fine work of teen fantasy fiction. Without bringing up spoilers, you think (or, at least, I thought) you have the whole thing figured out halfway through the novel, and then she sends you on so many twists and turns--and wrenches your stomach into a dozen knots as you slam into the climax--you put the book down completely flabbergasted and yet satisfied.

>The beginning is catchy, the middle will hold you, and the ending is superb. What can I say? And if you actually are a gamer girl, or a manga lover, you will wonder why it took so long to find this novel
