It just wasn't my kind of book and not may others' either, as people have said.Kalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412141003430058757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-23260431910803650532010-03-04T06:31:32.696+05:302010-03-04T06:31:32.696+05:30Although you all think its a terrible book, I'...Although you all think its a terrible book, I'd have to disagree. Everyone has their own style of writing. Evey little bit of the story leads up to something that corresponds with the main point. You people just need to think more and really devour the book rather than staying inside the box and not exploring the bigger part. I do agree that the daughter should be mentioned a bit more but never the less its still an amazing book. I've read it four times already!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463691454773565980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-84291664679280148532009-12-16T13:38:05.684+05:302009-12-16T13:38:05.684+05:30Exactly!:)

I do always wonder about how good a book can be if everyone who has read it seems to send it straight to the charity shop. Of course, I shouldn't really comment without having read it myself, but this review has rather confirmed my gut instinct that this book just might not be worth reading.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162449837376128737noreply@blogger.com
