I absolutely loved this one. The difference may be that I picked it up on audio - it was great for listening to on my commute, when I am stuck in the car anyway and my focus drifts a bit. lisalynne’s last blog post..Reading fiction helps us understand others

I didn't make it through the first half - this is the first time I've heard the second half picks up. I might have to give it another try. Elizabeth’s last blog post..Excerpt - A World I Never Made by James LePore

Hmm, I've gone back and forth on this one, but I have trouble with slow books. I might pass on this one. S. Krishna’s last blog post..A Reliable Wife – Robert Goolrick

I've been back and forth on this book so many times. I know I'll read it one of these days, but I think I've just moved it down on the list. Beth F’s last blog post..Where Are You? / Teaser Tuesdays (March 31)

I felt the same way about the beginning of this book, but the end did make up for it. I was happy I stuck with it. Have a great night. Wisteria Wisteria’s last blog post..The Recovery of Ecstasy, by Sandy Krolick, Ph.D.

I'm one of the few readers who gave this one a low rating because it dragged so badly for me that I almost didn't finish it. Beautiful writing only goes so far. Thanks for the review! Wendy’s last blog post..Mailbox Monday - March 30, 2009

I have this one on my TBR pile. I don't normally mind slow books, so I'll have to see what I think when I get to it. Meghan’s last blog post..Review: Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark, Donna Lea Simpson

I couldn’t bear to work on that huge mailing without an audiobook, so between the commute and the mailing I was working on, I got so far into the book that I couldn’t bear to waste all that time and not finish it. Normally I think it would have been ditched, although I’m glad I stuck with it because I really liked the end.
