I think that's why I didn't fall in love with it.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-50015592209052269852010-07-25T21:42:14.983-07:002010-07-25T21:42:14.983-07:00I really thought Trudy was a great character and e...I really thought Trudy was a great character and enjoyed the book. But the book seemed to have a hard time deciding what story it was trying to tell and that is, I think, where it fell through for me.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-31646964953666228732010-07-21T19:42:51.889-07:002010-07-21T19:42:51.889-07:00Kathy - That's what kept me reading.

Oh, well.<br /><br />Kay - Yep. I think this would be a "pass" for you. But you never know! :)<br /><br />Staci - Dig it out and tell me if you agree with me!<br /><br />Sharon - You know, I may not have finished had it not been a book group selection. However, several of my book club members thoroughly enjoyed it.<br /><br />Iliana - I'll be interested to see if you share my opinion. ;) Hope all is well and you aren't dying of that TX heat! I need to play catch-up with my favorite blogs again this weekend.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-24209068377641937702010-07-21T16:23:36.910-07:002010-07-21T16:23:36.910-07:00I think I've had my ARC for as long as you'...I think I've had my ARC for as long as you've had yours!

I suspect I wouldn't like it if I did pick it up. Nice to read your thoughts about it though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-81000039549540795122010-07-20T06:21:52.356-07:002010-07-20T06:21:52.356-07:00The historical element sounds fabulous - too bad t...The historical element sounds fabulous - too bad the characters aren't more relatable.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
