Can't wait to hear what you think (though no pressure to read it, I totally understand TBR piles!).<BR/><BR/>mel--It was an interesting book, one I probably liked more for the ideas it brought up than for the writing itself. But worth reading, definitely :)Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-53300774151026183112008-02-14T04:37:00.000-08:002008-02-14T04:37:00.000-08:00Thanks for this review.

I didn't know about the author, I just remember seeing mixed reviews, none of which actually helped.

I also think there's a benefit to not reading some books when they first come out and there's a lot of hype. I almost always like things better when I either haven't heard anything about them, or all the hoopla has died down :)Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-90176885383952423012008-02-12T20:45:00.000-08:002008-02-12T20:45:00.000-08:00Oh, good, I'm glad you enjoyed this one.

Plus I think she's married to Dave Eggers, which also got a lot of press. I'm not always a fan of "celebrity" writers, because the hype often exceeds the talent...but I did enjoy this book, even though in some ways I think it brought up more questions than it answered!Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-77028540354012903012008-02-12T17:24:00.000-08:002008-02-12T17:24:00.000-08:00Another one for the list!

For some reason the other times I've read about the book it seems that it was more about the author and less about the book.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.com
