The Coldest Winter Ever-Pure Captavating! I just finished the coldest winter ever, and i must say that it was one of the most captivating books I've read in a long while. i couldn't put it down til i was finished taking only short breaks to snack. i had to find out what was going to happen next and how Winter was going to get out the predicament that she was in. The end of the book however was slightly disappointing i wanted more, i wanted there to be happiness, the fairy tale happy ending. Although all the loose ends were tied up i felt as if there should have been something else, the ending left me wishing it was different. I wanted Winter to get what she wanted in the end, and ultimately the events leading to the end were so sudden, the book was over before i had time to put everything together in my mind. I only hope the long awaited squeal with fill my need to know what ever happened to Winter Santiaga and if she ever did turn out right.... On the other hand i suppose that Sister Souljah couldn't have gave Winter the happy ending i so hoped that she would receive. That would simply defeat the purpose of the lesson she was trying to teach. Everyone always want the protagonist to come out with everything they were striving to succeed but Souljah didn't do that. Which is another reason why i think her book was and is one of the best books of our time.
