I own the english version of manga's, but since I can't find the english version I'm putting another one so it will be on my self. I mean like Inu-Yasha and any other manga's I can't put the english version on I'll just but the other kind... more »

    I think the second season starts on Nov. 7; I guess they didn't want to drag out the Denna storyline, but at the same time, it's hard to perfect on screen writing such as Terry Goddkind's. Also there was a lot of stuff between Denna and Richard in the book, I guess the show doesn't want to show that kind of relationship between them.

    Thanks so much for your comment on my profile. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, though. I'm glad you liked my review for Stone of Tears. Season Two in fact will tie in with this book. And I agree that the season finale wasn't as well done as it could've been. It was too simple to me. Also, I kind of expected the episode where we first see Denna to go into several episodes; it just seemed like Richard gave in too easily to her.

    Yep, she goes into many other people's dreams. And it is very explicite visual wise. I'm trying to remember though if she had her own dreams and can't remember for sure. I'm pretty sure she does, but only when she is very secluded.

    Hi! Thanks so much for your comment. :D

    In reply to your questions:
    "I have a question about the book you have read called Wake! I am interested in dreams, dream dictionary, understanding dreams. So does this book focus on the dreams she receives from people falling asleep at all? or is it all about trying to cure this, and the relationship she gains from the one who can help her?"

    Very good question! Hmm... I would say that Janie's dream walking is the book's axis, but many other situations orbit around it. When she's not in a dream, she is still influenced by them. So her opinion could easily change of a person just by their dreams, and this leads to many awkward meet ups, ruined relationships, and trust issues.

    I big chuck of the book had to do with her trying to UNDERSTAND what was happening and how to control the growing (dream walking) epidemic. The story is written very loosely, with the actually how and why vaguely explained.

    I would have to say that this book is mostly dealing with how her dream walking interferes with her life and relationships and how she wants to learn how to control it.

    "I recommend Wake because of its plot and the main character’s interesting dilemmas. I suggest readers who want to read this book to be wary of sexual content and frequent cursing (f-word used often) and to try their best to skip over the inappropriate material."

    Hope that helps! And if it don't, let me know and I'll try to reword it. :)

    I'm always happy to answer any questions,

    Stax141516 - Flock Fright says

    Yup!!!

    Yeah I guess. I've never been fond of kids, even as a child. LOL

    It was the best one I've watched so far! You should really try it!

    I've never read Inu-yasha, though I've watched the anime series!

    And you should also watch Kamikaze kaitou jeanne! Its so good!

    I'm from the Philippines!

    Yeah . . . I just love Detective Conan! I believe Shinichi was my first love . . . LOL!!! I've been watching Detective Conan since I was only 8 . . . Funny, I was a child, but I liked Shinichi better than Conan, does that even make sense? LOL

    Daa! Daa! Daa! is the manga while UFO Baby is the name of the anime. Its the best. My ultimate favorite. The story is that a girl's parents are astronauts. They have to go to America, and they left her in their friend who is a monk. It happens that the monk has a son, the same age as the girl. They met comically, believe me. I was laughing so hard. Then, the monk had to leave because of a pilgrimage in India. the girl and the boy were left alone in the house. When the girl was about to leave because they had an argument, an ufo carrying a baby appeared from another planet. They have to take care of the baby and act like a real family, although they always get to each other's nerves. I really recommend you read it. I already finished the manga, but I can't find the anime episodes that has english subtitles. I only reached episode 50 and there are 82 episodes I believe.

    You should check out Ranma 1/2, but I love the anime more than the manga. This was my addiction when I was 10. I watch the episodes two times a day, and I have the opening and ending themes of all the seasons. I only read the ending of the manga. LOl

    Yup, I really hope that you like it! And thanks for visiting my site!

    LOL Here there's booksale, where i got most of my books. Maybe 75% of them came from there. The books are very cheap. I bought a hardcover of The Giver by Lois Lowry for just 5 pesos! In dollars that's about 25 cents!

    I love xxxHolic, Detective Conan, Daa! Daa! Daa!, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and a lot of many others. You should check out onemanga.com, they have pretty good scans and almost all of the mangas are there!

    You should check out my site! Its:

    Then you must spend a lot of time in the bookstores! Me too, but I make sure that when I leave I have checked every book there, so that I don't have any regrets when I buy one!

    Yup, it is sad. BUt still beautiful!

    What mangas do you like? I read mangas, but I don't even own a single one. I read mangas in the internet!

    Stax141516 - Flock Fright says

    Yeah, I guess you're right. Actually when I buy books I don't read the back, I just look at the cover. Don't know why though. LOL

    Well, the narrator was death, so I guess I'm not giving you any spoilers when I say yes. LOL

    I know what you mean. I get sleepy when I try to read it. I actually dozed off one time.

    Oh, really? Well, tell her happy belated birthday! May she has many more birthdays to come!

    What are your hobbies?

    Stax141516 - Flock Fright says

    Yeah . . . I wonder why that is . . .

    But I still recommend it! When I finished the book I cried a lot.

    I'm having a hard time reading The Horse and His Boy, its just that it can't keep my interest for long.

    So, what have you been up to?

    Stax141516 - Flock Fright says

    Hello!

    maybe its because its a children's book LOL .

    The Book Thief is really great! Its kinda a little bit tragic though. Its about an orphan girl at the time of World War II in Nazi Germany. The story is narrated by Death. I recommend you try it. I just loved the book!

    Really? Is it good? I bought the whole Chronicles of Narnia, and now I'm on book 3!

    Well, till next time!
