Atonement

Yet, another uber busy month. Finals are coming up again and I'm so ready for summer to get here. I'll actually have time to sit down and read a book because I've officially decided not to take any classes this summer. That's right, no classes for Jessi. (I can refer to myself in third person if I please). Yes, but Jessi gets to work and focus on transfering so that won't be fun.

Anyway, I did manage to read a book outside of all my lame school books. I borrowed the book, Atonement, from a friend shortly after watching the movie. The only reason I watched the movie was because she told me it was good. Oh, and James McAvoy (who I absolutely love and want to be the father of my children) played as the oh-so-masculine Robbie Turner. The book is great, but in all honesty, you could get the same effect from watching the movie. It took me a while to finish it because I already knew what was going to happen so it lacked any suspense for me. In fact, even though, I love James McAvoy, I do not love Robbie Turner or Cecilia Tallis. The book itself is good though and if you haven't watched the movie then I would suggest reading the book first because at least then you can get a better understanding of the main characters.

Wow, all of this rambling and I still haven't told you what the book is about. Well, the book is obviously a love story that turns horribly wrong when the hero of our book is accused of rape and foced to either join the army or rot in jail during World War II. The entire book focuses on Robbie and Cecilia trying to find a way to end up together when the war is all said and done and fix all the lies that had happened so long ago. I like cried for hours after I made it to the end.
