Once you finish the book, the cover makes perfect sense.<BR/><BR/>Michele -- please don't dismiss this book based on my account. I simply cannot handle that kind of pressure :) While Kaye seems to agree with me, perhaps you can wait and make that decision after others have posted their reviews.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-44687395383747443092009-02-16T23:28:00.000-06:002009-02-16T23:28:00.000-06:00Well shoot.

The premise is good, some of the characters are good, I liked her descriptive style at the beginning . . . BUT then it seemed to drift in too many directions, way too much convoluted tangents that I felt were unnecesary to the story.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-72386277403087611032009-02-16T13:51:00.000-06:002009-02-16T13:51:00.000-06:00I'm reading this one now.

I'm a sucker for interesting covers. I don't own it yet and I think I will hold off until I read the author's latest book, which is in my TBR pile at the moment. <BR/><BR/>Great review, Molly, thanks for posting it!The Tome Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029464145365882799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-14507841267676901602009-02-16T12:24:00.000-06:002009-02-16T12:24:00.000-06:00Great review Molly.

I find the cover to be very eye catching--black, red and white always catches my attention. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great day off. I sure am--it is 10:30 and I am still in my jammies. I have a fresh cup of coffee in my hand, cinnamon rolls are baking and sausages are simmering on the stove. I am hoping to curl up with my book in a little while and read away the day. I have decided that for today, I will recognize that, yes, there are lots of little things to be done around my house, but there always is and those things can just wait! :)<BR/><BR/>*smiles*<BR/>Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-26077859250380264382009-02-16T12:18:00.000-06:002009-02-16T12:18:00.000-06:00Excellent review.
