...almost heaven...




so,when you are super stressed when you know the date of your spm results and you're at home with no means of dancing and a lost of taste in the available telecommunication tools, what does one do? Simple. Borrow a novel from the library and read.

So yeah, this is basically about a book i read yesterday, after failing to calm my nerves. And it gave me the exact cure i need : peace. Reading always transforms me into a another realm,where reality fades away as the author takes your on a trilling adventure in his or her imagination. It never fails to amaze me, how a string of alphabets when arranged and rearranged can produce such wonders, provide me with the escape and happiness i crave. =)

This book was called Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught.Yeah, the usual image that often forms in the minds off many after hearing that author's name would be the sexual element that is never absent from her writings. This book, most of her other books i've read offered more than just that. Judith has the ability to bring the beauty of nature alive. The way she decribes the hills,valleys and stars always makes me yearn to be in that particular place, witnessing it for my own. Her stories usually encompasses countrysides with ocassional drifts in plots towards the city, London for example.

In this book, she has once again spun me into a realm of wonderful romance. Ian and Elizabeth fends and trips over various obstacles placed in thier way. What's different in this novel i realized was the pace of their love story. It wasn't the usual, "meet,fight,drool and fall in love" kinda route. There was distinct tenderness this time and it felt so surreal that i believed it.The innocence of the heroine and the matured patience of the hero laced with this outrageous temper kept at bay most of the time kept me on my toes most of the time.The conflicts were genuine, not corny and the whole thing just seemed so real! This is certainly a mark of a fantastic writer. It helps even more that her knack for old English language has made the package even more perfect!

So all in all, this is one is a really good catch and i recommend it to u people. It gave me the escape i needed and hope it will keep you enlightened too!
