I'm not sure when that will be, but it will probably come around sooner or later. =)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415819230337026236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-64266251400566852912007-08-08T10:44:00.000+02:002007-08-08T10:44:00.000+02:00Naomi - I think this is why I found it difficult t...Naomi - I think this is why I found it difficult to review. I wanted to try and give people an overview of the book, but everything is so interlinked that before you know it you're talking about the whole plot. And I didn't really want to do that as I think it would spoil the book for people.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-39660771395395974662007-08-08T09:31:00.000+02:002007-08-08T09:31:00.000+02:00I found this a hard book to describe to people bec...I found this a hard book to describe to people because there so many elements to it that I thought were key. Prejudice being the foremost, but also issues like family and trust. I loved it, which is no secret, lol, and like you found myself thinking about it for days afterwards.<BR/><BR/>I think it's probably worth noting just for interest's sake that the book was marketed as urban fantasy/sci-fi in the USA and as literary fiction here. I'm not sure which tag fits it better.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388312817437378315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-22868818662120845582007-08-07T21:10:00.000+02:002007-08-07T21:10:00.000+02:00I do think you need to be in the right frame of mi...I do think you need to be in the right frame of mind to read it.<BR/><BR/>I hope I haven't put people off reading it. I do think it's very well written. <BR/><BR/>But it wasn't an escape to read it. I found myself thinking very deeply about the choices that Lola makes and how easy it is to say I would have done things differently.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-5205638696289520462007-08-07T17:52:00.000+02:002007-08-07T17:52:00.000+02:00This isn't one I've heard of before, and while it ...This isn't one I've heard of before, and while it sounds like an interesting twist on lycanthropes, it doesn't sound like a book that fits my current reading preferences. I'll keep it in mind, though, for when I feel like a more thought-provoking book instead of an escape from reality.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415819230337026236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-30897138201774262862007-08-07T17:49:00.000+02:002007-08-07T17:49:00.000+02:00I've got this book on my wish list.

I think I'm going to wait until I can get it at a reduced price and have no other books that I'm dying to read. Thanks for the review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
