Otherwise it is constantly recommended to me. Of course it all becomes very awkward when I have to say I have already read it and then all the questions arise as to why I didn't like it.

I was totally into it the whole time - BOTH TIMES that I read it. I find the first half delightful and charming, and the second half is an utterly riveting page-turner for me. <br /><br />It's obvious I'm in a tiny minority on that, though.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425794200989416449noreply@blogger.com
