I'd prefer a little Barron's myself. ::swoon:: Watchout, we get pretty territorial about him around here!

I'm a fan of 50. Actually, a huge fan. Christian's character broke my heart every time. (I read the series 3 times) I think all the stupid media junk misrepresented the story. Yes, it is a story about 2 young people from very different lives who meet and fall in love in their own peculiar way.
Don't watch Sons of Anarchy. Just by his pictures, I don't see a comparison, but hopefully, he will seem closer to the mark while playing the role.

No portrayal ever looks like I envision a character from a book. I look for the way they act as the book character. If it's believable or not. When you're reading a book, the picture pops in your head, and it's never the same as someone else's version.

My fantasies are always better than reality. (Wow, that doesn't sound good.) I guess that's why I read a lot too Mani.

When you're reading a book, the picture pops in your head, and it's never the same as someone else's version. I usually feel the same way except for the Harry Potter characters. They were all brilliantly cast, in my opinion.

Ditto, Okie! I think that's the only movie adaptation that I've ever enjoyed just as much as the books...AND felt like they nailed the characters.

I had to look him up, Peony, and I have to agree with you. He is the closest that I ahve ever seen. BTW, I love peonies. They are in my top 10 flowers.

I'm so far behind in my reading. But I have no trouble acquiring them, darn the easy Amazon download. Even when not reading I feel the need to hoard books. I've got that down pat. My TBR pile just keeps growing.

I'm a glutton for punishment. I keep hoping his life gets better. I read Acheron so long ago that I forgot how Styxx turns out. I can't walk away now. I finished Styxx on Friday night. Man was that hard!!

Finished it too a week or so ago. Plot twist at the end I wasn't expecting...it was truly a dark read...looking for something MUCH lighter on the heart and mind now...

Yeah, I shed way too many tears. I also didn't have kind feelings for Acheron. He kind of redeemed himself at the end in my eyes.

I certainly hated Acheron through most of it. I wish there would have been a little more on the good parts because I just felt awful.

I stopped reading around 25% because it was overwhelmingly sad. I really wasn't sure if I was going to finish it or not.
