Chandni said: " Wow, did I hate this book. This was not scary and the story was so strange and disjointed that it made absolutely no sense. I also don't love novels that have vague plots and this one had no clarity in the ending at all. This is a terrible classic ho ...more "

Chandni said: " I really liked this book. There were scenes in this novel that fully scared me and made me really uneasy. I also thought the ending was bleak, but it made sense for the book. "

Chandni’s Quotes

“It doesn't have to be logical, it doesn't have to be love in the usual sense. It doesn't even have to be long lasting. Usually it isn't. But whatever it is, it is real and powerful while it lasts, and there's no point denying it.”
― Lynn Hall, The Giver

“Avant et maintenant c'est l'amour entre toi et moi. Ce sera ce que tu voudrais, toi, que tu sois.”
― Marguerite Duras, No More

“It's so easy to screw up. To make a choice that seems right. Then time passes and you look back and you say, 'How the hell did I do that?' Attitudes change. Insights change. Eventually things you were so damned sure were right become...incomprehensible.”
― Kelley Armstrong, Wild Justice

“You who understand what a human mind can be, how can you bear it? I don't have the hundredth part of your mind and there are days when I think I'll go mad. I can feel it. Or hear it. It's more like hearing something creeping along the walls, just behind my head, getting closer and closer. A big insect, maybe a scorpion. A dry skittering, that's what madness sounds like to me.”
― Annabel Lyon, The Golden Mean

“The thing you have to remember about artists...is never to trust their immediate response. Whatever the news, their reaction will be self-protective. The mask goes on, and you see only what they let you see. These creatures carry their emotions around in a violin-case, reserving their only honest expression for the public stage. In private, they turn emotion on and off at will. Never believe an artist when he weeps or declares love. It's all a grand performance. Treat their upsets as you would a child's tantrums. Console, then instruct. Show compassion when it's called for, firmness when it runs out. Give them an illusion of your love for them - but never love itself, or they will devour you.”
― Norman Lebrecht, The Song of Names
