eventhough i decided to spend the rest of my life dealing with letters (i'm a future linguist-translator), i'm still obsessed with numbers. actually, when i went to the 9th form i even wanted to start learning informatics more deeply. but my love for English won.)
even some years ago i was thinking about getting a degree in nuclear physics or astronomy, something like that, but a linguist-physicist sounds quite ridiculous, doesn't it? besides i couldn't find any university where it's possible to study astronomy :C
[frankly speaking, i still don't mind becoming a physicist :D]
and also, i've always wanted to have some kind of a gift. being a little girl, i would imagine myself visiting every flat in my city so that i could see what those flats looked like and how their dwellers lived. i wanted to be able to fly. to get to any place on the Earth in seconds. to read people's minds. and of course i wanted to be invisible.
and soo there it is. a girl. a girl with a gift. a girl with a gift of seeing numbers.
when i started reading this book my first impression was that it was okay. but then...
then i started to live Jem's life. i even was jealous. some part of me wants just to give up everything and everybody and get away somewhere. where no one knows you. just to get into a car and drive. drive away from people.
some part of me wants to do crazy things. extreme things. maybe even stupid things. but the other part is sooo obedient/right/conscientious. it'll just do everything to prevent all those stupid things from happening..
i was literally absorbed in this book. i nearly cried when Jem discovered Spider's beauty. I nearly cried when they slept together.
..eventually, I cried when Spider fell off the roof..

although the end is quite predictable, the book itself is really exciting.
about numbers in letters. perfect combination. for me.
