yeah well call me immature but i really liked them...i heard they might make a movie

[mir]

if there's one thing i discovered while trying to read all the books that are "smart" - Odyssey, Pride and Prejudice, etc. - it's that reading should be either for pleasure or for knowledge, and if you mix the two, you just fall asleep a lot earlier every night : ). there's no such thing as being immature when reading books. my favorite books are still mostly in the Young Adult section . . . X )

i'd actually like to see that movie! do you know when it's coming out?

by the way, nice quote - but i'm still going for Douglas Adams: "i love deadlines. i especially love the whooshing aound they make as they go by." XD

I read the first one and liked it very much but I hope they won't make a movie out of it. It's sad what they do make out of some really nice ones. I still can't believe that they really filmed 'The Parfum' and since the moment I saw the main actor I hope it was just an april joke.

Can you tell us the basic permise of the story and the reasons you liked it?

umm...well it's about time travel. the main character, Lucien (in the 1st book) is a young boy with lukemia. he starts to travel by night to an italy-based world in the (i think) 17th century, Talia.
the next book stars Georgia, a girl who had a crush on lucien. she also travels to Talia.
The third stars Sky, a boy who attends Georgia's school and has a crush on her best friend, Alice.
