I agree, French's mysteries are the type the stick with you much longer than your typical whodunit. <br /><br />I'm glad you found your way to my blog. I popped over to yours and have it bookmarked. I love the Seattle area (my dad and stepmom live in Kingston - they lived on their boat on Lake Union for 15 years), so it's fun to see all your lovely photos.<br /><br />Happy reading!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1874139916303234112009-04-26T13:10:00.000-07:002009-04-26T13:10:00.000-07:00I've just found your blog through your interview w...I've just found your blog through your interview with Bluestocking and when I saw that you'd reviewed the Tana French books- I looked them up.<br /><br />I read both books some months ago and have found that they are the kind of books that your mind returns to. Especially 'The Likeness'- I think that I, too, would want to live in that house and spend my days and nights in close companionship with others. Not those others but someone else. <br /><br />I love to read and am very happy to have found you- looking forward to reading more.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044667449525289901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-31789630625024909762009-03-29T07:38:00.000-07:002009-03-29T07:38:00.000-07:00Bellezza - You are in for such a treat!!!

Nice to be surprised on both accounts. :) Frank wasn't one of my favorite characters either. Who knows, we may grow to love him.<BR/><BR/>SuziQ - Nah, go ahead and read it now.

I read a marvelous review among the 200+ reviews that has encouraged me to buy the book.<BR/><BR/>Also, I read "The Secret History" a few years back and if "The Likeness" is one half of that book it would have to be brilliant. "The Secret History" is on my top 5 list of all times. Makes me want to order "The Likeness" though I am not fond of mysteries.<BR/><BR/>Your rambling reader friend;<BR/>GaylaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-33703629807156479472009-03-11T10:45:00.000-07:002009-03-11T10:45:00.000-07:00Just to let you know that I think your blog is gre...Just to let you know that I think your blog is great and that I gave you an award.<BR/><BR/>http://bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com/(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-18776264094455330392009-03-10T21:02:00.000-07:002009-03-10T21:02:00.000-07:00Oh me too!

Don't wait!! :) At least you know you'll have a couple of winners to review in the coming months.<BR/><BR/>Tara - I can't imagine anyone not loving it, especially if they enjoyed In the Woods. I hope the third book includes Cassie. I'm guessing it will since it's centered around Frank. I don't really care much for him.<BR/><BR/>Mary - Glad you enjoyed the review. Yes, you need to read both books, ASAP. :)<BR/><BR/>Kay - I understand the need to wait for the right time to read a book that's been so highly recommended. Nothing worse than being preoccupied and not getting the full enjoyment you'd hoped for. Thanks for the lovely comment.<BR/><BR/>Nat - I can't remember if you've read this one or not. Definitely read In the Woods AND The Likeness. They're your kind of books.<BR/><BR/>Staci - I doubt you'll be disappointed. French is a marvelous storyteller and you're in for quite a treat.<BR/><BR/>Kimbofo - Thanks for sending the link! I enjoyed the piece and learning more about Irish crime fiction. Enjoy French's books!<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - Hurry!! :)<BR/><BR/>Katya - I don't know about you, but this is one mystery I'd be happy to read again, say, in another year or so. There's so much more to it than simply finding out whodunit.<BR/><BR/>Booklogged - Lucky you! I can't wait to hear what you think. I'll bet In the Woods is one of those books we'll see everyone reading this summer.<BR/><BR/>Marg - Definitely sooner!! And then you need to get The Likeness.<BR/><BR/>Mary - You might want to get The Likeness in another day or two since you'll probably be anxious to read more by French once you've finished In the Woods. :) Enjoy!!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-48234872259668600572009-03-10T14:24:00.000-07:002009-03-10T14:24:00.000-07:00Ok, Les.
