Epic Fail @ Barnes&Noble

Yep. You read it right! >.< It's truly epic. =D

Since April 2012, I've been trying to win some book giveaways and other promos. :) Anyway, it never hurts to try. Well, I haven't won anything.....until this weekend. :) I couldn't believe it! I ACTUALLY WON A FREE E-BOOK COPY OF The Moon Dwellers by David Estes! :D

I couldn't wait for his e-mail because I'm extremely excited to review his book! Imagine, it's the first e-book I got from an author and I get to review it for freeeeee! :D Who wouldn't shout for joy to that? Anyway, I managed to sleep that night and I checked my e-mail first thing in the morning. :D Here's what I got, an e-mail from Barnes & Noble!!!

Oh yeah! Wheeeeee. >.< I couldn't help myself but to jump, to shout, and to scream! Yeeepeee! :D I immediately clicked the link and poof, here's what they said:

Whaaaaaat???!!! I nearly dropped my laptop when I saw this! Huhuhuhu! Why, oh, why!!! I thought it's my first free book to review, but then I guess it's not. I can't retrieve it because I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD. Isn't that painful? Sob. Sob. :'(

Well, that's my epic Barnes & Noble experience. X(

5 Notes:

WOOOOOW! I can't believe its over! My eyes are craving for moooore! The plot, the characters, the resolution, the lesson of the story, the controversial issues that are handled wisely, and oh, the writing! The book is extremely fantastic! It doesn't mean it's perfect, but everything in the book falls into place.

4 Notes:

I'm surprised! I reaaally loved it! It would be better though if some issues are handled with care (considering its moral implications and stuff) and if some lessons are given with impact. But overall, the book is definitely awesome!

3 Notes:

Honestly, the book is pretty good, but it didn't appeal that much to me because it broke my heart. It either has a good plot, though there's not much lesson to get OR the plot is pretty good, but the ending is devastating.

2 Notes:

The book is fine, but it didn't appeal to me because it's pretty flawed: (1) issues are not handled wisely enough; (2) lesson is not clear; (3) or the plot is not that strong.

1 Note:

I didn't like it at all.

Yups, it's such a pity I couldn't redeem it. :( But there's always hope for next time! :) I guess I'll just have to beg my parents for a credit card, which they'll surely oppose. :)) heehee :)); July 02, 2012 10:57 pm
