review 1: So... I couldn't read the first 5 Chapters because a turtle ate them. But, I don't think I even needed them. Despite the slight confusion when I started (because it's like I jumped into a confetti filled snow-globe...), everything I missed was kind of sprinkled throughout the story.I really enjoyed this. It definitely reads like a 'slice of life' love popsicle. It's cute, super sweet, and I was gonna say something else but that would be inappropriate... Saul is in this huge transition in his life and Vaan is this rebelling multicolored chihuahua on speed. It's really about this unbreakable bond these two are forming. And I loved every strange second of it. There's a lot of gaming, eating, classes, gaming, classes, eating, eating... More eating... But I loved getting to see... more the interactions between characters. Mainly Vaan and Saul, although it was nice they had other friends outside of their pairing.Whenever they just 'got' each other and had this mutual understanding without even talking, I felt like I had put a handful of jelly beans in my mouth (jelly beans are nomilicious and oh so sweet). The entire thing is so enjoyable I grinned and laughed non-stop while reading. Although, yeah, 'twas a bit long.I wanted to read this author's other pieces but things are in revision and I'm scared because this took 8 years... So I think I'll refrain for now...
review 2: I personally feel this is one of the best written novels (or yet-to-be-published) novels out there.I've never actually read a story where one of the main characters is crippled and in a wheel chair.The Characters of Saul(forever crippled) and his senior in college Vaan (spelled without all the extra letters u,g & h)are beautifully brought out.The story pretty much revolves around Vaan, who is a 3rd year Theatre student and Saul, a fresher from South Africa.Saul is crippled and in a wheel chair from an accident and Vaan has issues(according to his parents) and two meet at the psychiatrist's and the two bond immediately. The craziness of Vaan's keeps Saul grounded and from going crazy.There are also the side characters - Kara, Sloane, AJ, Alice and Todd along with a few others, who are basically college mates and add depth to the story. The sex was a bit underrated here, but for a guy in a wheel chair it's pretty good :PPeople have been waiting for this story to be finished for nearly eight years and i guess i was luck enough to pick it up when it was fully done :)It was a very good read and people, pick it up and try it :) i'm sure you won't be disappointed if you're looking for a story with a lot of wit, sarcasm, humour, whole lot of craziness and a lot of heart :) less
