This book.... Loved it so much!! Unfortunately, my copy is a pretty bad looking ARC :P Considering buying it in hardcover sometime.. :)

The hardcover of Eleanor & Park is on Book Outlet, so there is an awesome discount on it!

No problem. I'm a big fan of discounts, so when I see them, I take advantage of them!

I really enjoyed this book, but I think I liked Fangirl just a little bit more.

I really liked this book, it is one of my favorites. I've also read attachments, and it's quite an improvement from that, although it isn't in the same genre

I really liked Eleanor and Park. I just had soooo many unanswered questions at the end. I hate being torn between wanting to know more, but not wanting to disturb the ending.

My favorite Rainbow book is actually Attachments. I just felt like there was so much more raw emotion in it and that it was beautifully written. Eleanor & Park is my second favorite of hers, though. I liked that it was also emotional, and I think it's a great story for teens to read because of everything in it.

I loved this book! :)

I think I'm going to be in the minority on this one. I didn't get the relationship that just blossomed from Eleanor and Park. It felt half-baked to me. It was insta-love pretending not to be. I think the hype really raised my expectation for this book, which is why I was extremely disappointed. There were just too much stuff going around Eleanor and Park, that I couldn't focus on what the author was really trying to focus on. Does that make sense? Sorry. I'm kind of rambling here.

I really wanted to like it, but like they say, maybe this book was just not for me. :(

I read about 50% of this book then set it down and never picked it up again.. it wasn't bad but ehh.

I was disappointed. There was just so much hype about this book and it failed to deliver for me.

I kinda wanted to leave it in between, but I finished it anyway.

I love Eleanor and Park so much. I am not one to go and buy books (I know, dishonor on me) and I went shopping for Christmas and bought my (first) two books, one of them being Eleanor and Park.

I think Park introduced Eleanor to a whole new world and showed her that there was more to being bullied and treated horribly, even in her own family she was not treated the best.
