Erm, maybe you don't know that yet. I couldn't stop at six chapters. I had to read the whole book! But I agree with most of your answers especially about how Gabi covers really well and talks 21st century in her head. I loved that. She stayed so true to herself. I'd be cowering in my room too. Marcello would be looking to get rid of me asap. And I would be seriously freaking out!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551602199228473584.post-68153028351651685952011-09-01T03:49:50.224+01:002011-09-01T03:49:50.224+01:00Mmm, I'd obviously miss books too!

That's huge, isn't it? In modern American society we bring our kids up (and expect ourselves) to not only have a dream, but to pursue it! To think that that kind of thinking is foreign would be a huge shift to make.Serena Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814202631561534588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551602199228473584.post-35409915098413463012011-08-31T22:19:30.485+01:002011-08-31T22:19:30.485+01:00I agree that so far Marcello seems quite accepting...I agree that so far Marcello seems quite accepting of Gabi and her ways. I know at times it frustrates him, but I think its just because she is so different and maybe he might be falling for her already. I am not sure on this one haven't read past chapter 8 yet. He could treat her a lot differently being a Lord's son and all. Also I think he is a bit humored and in aww of her as well.

I could have been very happy living there. In the quite country. So magical. <br /><br />And I would have been afraid too if I found myself in a situation like Gabi. I'm sure I would have been killed on sight. And if I didn't have access to books, I would have wanted to die.
