Wow, can't decide whether it's because Sarah's Child was so engaging that I read non-stop or because I wanna get rid of it to move on to Eon...but I'm done reading the book. As for its rating, I think I'll give it 4 star. I'm usually a very generous rater. For books that I hate I give them 3 stars. I don't dare use 1 or 2 stars.
I like Sarah's Child just fine...but not enough to propel me forward to the other two books of the series. They are in fact stand-alone books, only sharing characters who appeared in the first one.
Now is the big confession...I really really HATE the male protagonist, Rome Matthews. He's the biggest jerk in the planet. Logan shall have to step down from his throne to give the sit to this Rome. He won the title completely. The greatest jerk ever lived. I suppose the whole plot of this story was based on how big an asshole he was, thereby we shouldn't blame him too much, huh? For he was just doing his part. At the very least, he tried to redeem himself a little at the end of the book.
I found myself overwhelmed by loads of emotions in Sarah's Child sometimes. Because Linda Howard told the story in spontaneous points of view. The two sets of mind which clashed with each other and went in different directions. You will have to keep track of them to figure out how their misunderstanding and rejection actually came from thoughtfulness for each other's comfort. Silly, but still fun to read...until a certain breaking point when the king of the jerks refused to acknowledge that he's going to be the father of a very adorable child, Sarah's daughter. This part was agonising and infuriating. Sarah was so compliant to his selfish demands that I really wanted to swing a baseball bat against their two empty heads...I pray I won't make a homerun since it will be gruesome and bloody.
I just canceled my order on Play-Asia. They suck suck suck. I can't tell you how upset I was over their awfully slow process and trash service. I made my order on 25th September. Look at the calendar to see what date it is today and you will know why I am so angry. After waiting for a long time and sending them scans after scans of proofs for my identity and credit card, they rejected it, making excuses like there's not enough fund in it. Of course there's not enough. They charged me already. If they tried to charge me for a second time, it wouldn't be enough. I made my query, but their answer didn't hit the mark of my question. They dodged it. And then what's with trouble with authorising my card? AGAIN? They didn't answer that either. *shaking my head* What BULLSHIT! Trust me. I swear I will never ever buy anything from this rubbish play-asia. I should have known better and went to buy from amazon marketplace instead. I got what I bought after only two weeks. Their service was awesome. Play-asia is shit.
Oh! And you know what, the greatest thing of all is that I will have to WAIT again for my held fund to be released. Fabulous! How delightful, huh?
I took up writing again. It's fun.
