Not fun to drive home in (we were at the theater in Clinton when it hit) but when we got home we just curled up and enjoyed reading to the sound of crashing and pattering. It was oddly comforting. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-20850409054571426162007-06-22T13:27:00.000-05:002007-06-22T13:27:00.000-05:00Nymeth, Yes, you do indeed need to read this book ...Nymeth, Yes, you do indeed need to read this book ;) You'll love it!<BR/><BR/>Aichaku, It was quite the emotional book towards the end...all over the place really now that I think about it. I think you'd enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>Quix, Wasn't it great? I had to go back and read your review too of course and I swear we seem to share a brain when it comes to books ;) So glad that I fit this one in for the challenge. I looked into his other books as well, and they seem very different from this one, but I think I'll give them a try. His writing was so good in this one.<BR/><BR/>Deslily, Exactly how I felt, I wanted to be at LEAST twice the size of what it was ;) It was such a great little book...but I guess all good things must come to an end. Great book!<BR/><BR/>Bookfool, Yes, read this one! You'll love it! The rain was great..we haven't had a storm like that with lightning and thunder in ages. It's just been plain old rain. Very nice reading weather!<BR/><BR/>Carl, You have to read this one!!! You'll love it. I kept thinking about how much you'd love this one while I was reading it. Right up your alley. <BR/><BR/>Robin, I'm so glad that this one's going on your list! This one should be on everyone's list in my opinion ;) Really great book...hope you enjoy it!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-35794918547293346482007-06-22T08:44:00.000-05:002007-06-22T08:44:00.000-05:00This sounds really good, Chris!

Now that I've read your review, I feel I really need to just buy it and read it immediately! I love that the book touched you on an emotional level. I always like it best when that happens for me.aichaku-愛着https://www.blogger.com/profile/00290697955970543133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-11285486058941357032007-06-22T02:23:00.000-05:002007-06-22T02:23:00.000-05:00Wow!

It was great! I really think you'll like this one...especially if you're a fan of Gaiman. I researched Connolly on Amazon and this sounds very different from the rest of his books. The rest seem to be crime thrillers with a little bit of a paranormal edge to some of them. This one is nothing like that though.

I now HAVE to read this book. My gut kept telling me I should buy this in the store but I hate the cover and that's why I kept putting it back. What a fool I am to judge a book by its cover. :) <BR/><BR/>Your review reminds me of the way Carl spoke to me of Gaiman three or so years ago. His passion for Gaiman was infectious and thus I had to read one of his books and boy I wasn't disappointed. I first picked up Stardust and was hooked. I'm now a huge Gaiman fan. Just a notch below Carl on my love of his works.<BR/><BR/>My gut tells me I may be on the verge of finding another great author which as a book lover makes me smile. I'll be picking this book up soon. Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
