I know, I was hoping to love it. Maybe my expectations screwed with me.

Yeah, I felt that way about most of Kingsolver’s books that I’ve read, apart from The Poisonwood Bible, which was nearly all greatness.

I’m glad you enjoyed the mini-reviews! They make me worry that I’m cheating, so it’s nice to have positive reinforcement. :p

Maybe so, but I’m not sure I will ever acquire it. :/

I loved it enough for two or three people, though, so I guess it all evens out in the end.

Brief bits of greatness, but otherwise a total slog. I liked these mini reviews, by the way. It’s a great way to get a little taste of a whole lot of interesting titles.

I didn’t dislike but I didn’t love it either. My husband liked Watchmen but I can’t get into it. I think it’s an acquired taste.

Hahahaha, I love it. Purveyors of chicanery should be accepted as full members of society too!!

I know! Like Neil Gaiman – why can’t he write a book every month? :p But I’m looking forward to reading Southgate’s two other books, at least.
