I've had this book sitting by my bed waiting for me to read it for months. It wasn't that I didn't want to read it, but that it is so thick that I needed to wait for a week when i wasn't so busy so I'd have time. And then I sped through it in four days! I couldn't put it down. It's very good. Simons is such a talented writer (I also read 'The Bronze Horseman' this year).
The novel is pretty sad. It definitely pulls you in and makes you feel for the characters. Throughout the whole book, I didn't know how I wanted it to end, let alone how I thought it would end. Part of the fun, I guess.
I'm very glad I read this. It definitely made me think, and feel. Very good.
I know it's week fifty-two, but I'm making this a fifty-three week year, because it's not over until Friday. One more week to go!
I can't believe you've managed to do this, I struggle to read your posts every week, let alone the entire book. You should be very proud!
ReplyDeleteThank you! When I saw you had commented I thought it would be you telling me off for not sharing what I did while reading this book. It's far too embarrassing.
