I realise I’m not going to change anyone’s mind here – I won’t give my reasons for my opinion after all – but after all these manga putdowns I would like to say:

I’ve been reading comics, romance, scifi and fantasy for 25 years now, I’ve been reading manga for 13 years (I’m 40 ^^): you haven’t come across the good stuff in the vast sea that manga is these days, if you run to avoid it.

Fair enough, but there IS good stuff out there even for romance readers, just in case you might enjoy. Probably one of the reasons why Jan occasionally reviews manga at Dear Author.

Other than that I liked Driven, too ^^.

I have seen this book. After reading the comments I think I will have to take another look at it. Sounds like a good one. :-)

I haven’t had a chance to read this book yet, but it is on my list to Santa.

It really was. A winner and un-put-downable. (I love that word)

It sounds wonderful. Any book that people say they can’t put down has to be a winner.

I have not read this book yet but I think it sounds great. Hope to read it sometime soon. Been hearing great things about it.

I’m loving all the shomi books. I don’t normally read in the car because it makes me woozy but I got this one right before we left on a road trip and I devoured it and I was so into it I didn’t even get woozy.

Better late then never…. to rave about the great read Driven was. Have already re-read it several times since and the funny thing is I would never have noticed/picked it up if I hadn’t read another’s glowing review of it! Don’t think it’s been mentioned yet but Eve Kenin’s next title is Hidden out in July 08 and I believe it’s about related characters! Hurry up July!

I don’t think anyone who takes a chance on this book will be disappointed, provided they have some liking for sci-fi romance. Someone who prefers contemporaries or vampire stories might not be engaged, but otherwise, I can’t imagine this book not working. It’s just SO GOOD.

And Kimberly is 100% right. It’s Wizard’s awkwardness that makes him so lovable.

I had heard about the book, but hadn’t given it any further thought, but Ann, you’ve got me taking another look at the book with your A++ grade!
