A fairly large amount of books I've read semi-recently were books everyone seems to have loved except for me. It makes a nice change to feel less alone in my reaction to a book.<br /><br />Your reaction to the book is very similar to mine. While I don't mind the structure used*, I don't think it was the right one for this story. There was too much focus on the characters' pasts that kept me from connecting to their present selves and present relationships.<br /><br />* Knox uses a similar structure to great effect in <i>The Vintner's Luck</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104529240240198231.post-74212389114422639312008-09-16T00:14:00.000-04:002008-09-16T00:14:00.000-04:00As you can both tell from my blog, I'm always hone...As you can both tell from my blog, I'm always honest about how I feel about a book and I will go ahead and post a review even if I'm not recommending it. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for the compliments on the new look! It took me a long time, but I finally finished it and it's good to hear some praise ;-)<BR/><BR/>Susan, I love your blog too and even though I haven't been able to read book blogs as much the past few months, I'm starting to get back into it so you will see me as a regular visitor! <BR/><BR/>One reason I love the name of our kitties is because that's how I find out who is a "Firefly"/"Serenity" fan. Other people just think we picked weird names for our cats!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697202003716416028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104529240240198231.post-16701999325387143662008-09-15T18:06:00.000-04:002008-09-15T18:06:00.000-04:00I agree with Nymeth, your blog is great now!

Thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog, I am still finding blogs I had on it before :-) and I LOVE the names of your pets! Firefly and Serenity, hee.

I like vampire stories, but it's a subgenre I tend to be picky with. There are a lot of vampire stories out there that just don't do it for me.<BR/><BR/>PS: The blog looks gorgeous!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
