And I'm a fan of nested stories that move back and forth in time, so I think that helps. heheEvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-52461699789388643432010-01-13T10:20:37.210+00:002010-01-13T10:20:37.210+00:00Blodeuedd - I wouldn't go looking for it.

I have heard his other book Ghostwritten is actually the better of the two.<br /><br />Ladytink - I hate to get mislead too.<br /><br />Petty Witter - I found myself rereading parts just to figure out what was going on.<br /><br />Amanda - I had been so looking forward to it as well. Never mind.<br /><br />Bermudaonion - you are funny!<br /><br />Carmen - definitely go the library to get them, rather than buying them. Then you can photocopy any patterns you want.<br /><br />Michelle - I am glad I wasn't the only one to feel this.<br /><br />Diane - I think I will still try Ghostwritten as I have heard better reviews about that one.<br /><br />Alyce - this one really isn't scary at all.<br /><br />Illiana - if you have it,then you have to give it a go. Quite a few people liked it, so you might find that you do too.<br /><br />Aarti - I think that was the problem, I was far too attracted to the cover!<br /><br />Nymeth- never mind. Always more books out there to read.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-46411339568737495192010-01-13T08:36:36.768+00:002010-01-13T08:36:36.768+00:00Oh no!

Does sound a bit of an odd way to do it.<br /><br />BTW No - ours s such a small library it only opens half days and in all this snow sometimes hasn't been opening so have still been sitting shivering in my own house. <br /><br />However I didn't think to get out loads of homemaking books from there rather than just sigh over them on my wishlist. I'll be going over here with a list when it opens ;) Thanks vivienne.Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-43492591483582746302010-01-12T14:00:54.258+00:002010-01-12T14:00:54.258+00:00The cover is great, but I think I'll skip the ...The cover is great, but I think I'll skip the book.
