Fallen Angels

Eww...what?
And it topped New York's bestseller's list in 2009?
And the cover! Looks like something an angsty teenager would have put up on their profile when Evanescence, Myspace, do-it-yourself black hair dye walked hand in hand 4-6 odd years ago.

I won't mention the name of the book here, if it isn't obvious enough to you. I refuse to get knocked over by a wave of crazy fans.

"It is about a young girl called Luce (full name Lucinda Price, Luce for short) who gets sent to "Sword and Cross" reform school. Here, she meets Daniel Grigori, who immediately she feels that she has met before. Luce then finds out she has met him before as they are destined to fall in love over and over again but their love will only end in grief, as Luce usually dies after being with Daniel."

I really hate to say it, but even a mediocre movie called "Hancock" beat you at that.

As much as I could figure out studying gothic literature in year 8, I didn't think this genre would ever experience another moment in pop culture. But hey, I didn't think that Lady Gaga would bring black shiny latex bodysuits back into fashion ether.

I thought that the music and movie industry had mostly been drawn and quartered by capitalism, and that the highly intellectual (or not) art of novel writing was safe from attack. I'm wrong. No wonder I haven't picked up a good book out of my own accord for ages .

Someone please save me?



Epilogue (plus other minor details I'll save you into reading)
1.Perhaps part of the reason why I don't read anymore is because I'm lazy, I admit that. I put enough effort into sussing out music that actually has talent.
2.I don't want to make that dress inspired by the cover of that damned book. Originality=ZERO. Ugly. Puts beautiful neo-victorian and related styles of clothing to shame. Nonono...hey it might actually get me a few good sales...I'm such a pushover...(imvu)
3.What a breakdown. Just as I was getting into the hang of not being anti-popculture anymore.
