I think maybe treating it more like short stories - to be read one per day, or so - and less like a novel proper might have helped me get more into it.Fyreflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267651786697866292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-53489719979834228332008-09-26T02:08:00.000-04:002008-09-26T02:08:00.000-04:00Sorry you didn't have quite the same experience wi...Sorry you didn't have quite the same experience with this one as I did :( I agree with you and Nymeth...I really think it's one of those books that you have to read at the <I>right</I> time...I just happened to pick it up at the right time!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-72895644523009657082008-09-23T16:26:00.000-04:002008-09-23T16:26:00.000-04:00I remember Chris' review of this book.

There are some I fall in love with, and some I can't get into at all. I think that my mood does influence how I respond to them, though. If I manage to get my hands on a copy of this one, I'll make sure I leave it for the right moment.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
