And I loved the epistolary format. Made me wish letter-writing was still in vogue.<br /><br />I hope it's okay that I linked to your review on the Book Reviews: WWII page on <a href="http://warthroughthegenerations.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">War Through the Generations</a>.<br /><br />--Anna<br /><a href="http://diaryofaneccentric.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Diary of an Eccentric</a>Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-84988586680889865132010-02-20T21:11:15.549-06:002010-02-20T21:11:15.549-06:00Sandy - Yes!

I wanted to "crawl into the story and live there" too!<br /><br />Serena - It's a new form for me, but now I can't wait to explore another.<br /><br />Stacy - Don't feel bad. I often feel like the last blogger to read a book.<br /><br />Stephanie - So many of these characters are unforgettable!<br /><br />Nicole - You definitely should give it a try. The characters are just so wonderfully rich and believable.<br /><br />Jenners - I can't believe I forgot yours!

There was just something about it that didn't make me want to runout and pick it up. But I think you may have just changed my mind and I love that you mentioned the there is a positive portrayal of gay characters in the novel. I love that!Nicole (Linus's Blanket)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12473607646939202824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-6640415215118864862010-02-19T21:55:04.156-06:002010-02-19T21:55:04.156-06:00This sounds really good, though I can see that the...This sounds really good, though I can see that the epistolary format could take some getting used to.

I thought it was fantastic, but I agree it can be tough to get into if you haven't read novels in letters before.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-21421493535450356852010-02-19T10:59:08.464-06:002010-02-19T10:59:08.464-06:00I loved this on audiobook.

It did take me about the first disc to get into the swing of the story, but once I did it was very smooth. When I finished I felt flushed and in love. One of the top reads for me last year!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
