An Outstanding Friendship -
When I read this book for the first time I thought it was pretty good: it has a great plot and unique characters, but it lacked in something which I didn't actually know what it was, but it was missing.
A few days ago I had to read this novel to prepare myself for an exam (CAE). I then found what wa ... (continue) - — Jun 21, 2011 | Add your feedback
