Pretty Good Book

This book was quite good, and Christopher is a very sweet and shy character. Some really funny incidents in the book as well. And watch out for corny lines. But overall, it is a very good book.

different.....

This book is good although I don't really like these books.You can always predict what is going to happen. It was a good book(the words Michael said were stupid)but,hey,it's good otherwise. ENDP.S. Hope you like it if you read it.

Different from the rest though it is nice to have a change.

Christopher MacAvoy is basically just a poor cowboy compared to his neighbour, Roxana Maslow. Both of them are attracted to each other but Christopher has problem opening his mouth whenever Roxana is around him. So he gets help from a cocky and irritating guy, Michael Serrano who provides him with endless romantic poems and quotes. It's nice to see that for once the guy is poor and not the normal tall, dark, handsome and rich, perfect guy in this story. Although the love poems do sometimes get out of hand at times and it makes you wonder what an idiot this guy, Christopher must be to take the bait from his so called friend. Has quite an unexpected ending though pretty predictable in some sense. Read it if you really want to have a change of environment.
