readers digest select edition - volume 1

This book is a bumper edition where reader's digest editted 4 novels to fit in a book. definitely a good bargain. got it in amcorp's flea market for rm6.

the watchman - chris ryan

the writing sucks that i can't proceed more than 10 pages. but if ever i'm out of books, i might be getting back to this particular novel :D

best foot forward - jeane ray

this is a good one. it portrays so much about a family that at one point u would realize it happens to your family too. a real family drama. the mother has 3 kids, one married, one is getting married to a very rich guy, n her boy is dating their contractor's daughter. it holds some racial issues, adult marriage problems, mid-life crises, a spinster's desperation or basically confusion on their love life.

Open Season - C J box

kinda dull because i just couldn't relate to things the writer was describing. but then again, once i'm lacking of reading materials, i guess i'll get back to this one too.

envy - sandra brown

this is indeed a splendid read. i'm considering the book itself despite knowing the gist of the novel already. it discusses friendship and the dark side of being bestfriends. how situation would change a very desperate and envious character. friendship will falter due to greed. and how the writer writes about another writer and its editor. it's simply like several small pictures that in the end fits all in a big picture. the writer's description of the characters are very vivid that as a reader u actually would fall in love to the person she's in love with, and hates those characters she hated.
