Never say never but it well and truley looks impossible.

If you ask me , critics look in to more about HOW books are written when they should be looking at WHAT they are written about.

Story wise , character wise , page turner wise , Harry Potter kicks the absoloute **** out of his dark materials and the lord of the rings.

I'm thinking of reading the WICKED books. It's been made into a west end musical, and one of my friends advised me to give them a read. There's currently 3 books in the series, so may take a look at them..

True Stu (Lmao rhymes!) But the story is more of the reason it won't be replaced. It was just magical. (Irony )

What are they Callum?

They're just stories of like how Glinda and Elphaba (wicked witch of the west), like how they used to be good friends and how they broke friends etc. Not really my cup of tea, but suppose i could always give them a try.

It's so good so far. What happened with Hedwig was really sad. Only reached page 104 (chapter 7) and I've decided to read 200 pages a day because my brain will go into overdrive if I read it all in a day!

Yea 200 If I do read it like a few chapters a day, I'll just forget what happened before so I need to read alot of it (if that makes sense). So I should be done by Tuesday.

I know most of the spoilers about what's happened already, but it's kinda made me look forward more too what's coming ahead!

Yeah, I get you.
It's a really good book though, a lot of good stuff hasn't been posted as a spoiler so you still have some stuff to look forward to that you don't know about.
