I did enjoy how we got together a couple of times to read and discuss.<br /><br />Bermudaonion: I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this one!<br /><br />Dar: I agree that the pace picked up a bit in the second half. I'm glad I stuck with it to find out what happened in the end.<br /><br />Sandy: :)<br /><br />Toni: Glad you really enjoyed the book.<br /><br />Debb: That's so true!<br /><br />Miriam: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read it and be part of the tour.<br /><br />Jeane: Sometimes I'm okay with not liking the character and it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the book. I think this time it was the combination of the slow pace and the unlikeable character.<br /><br />ANovelMenagerie: Nope, you're not the only one. I've seen lots of reviews from people who enjoyed it a lot.<br /><br />Jo-Jo: I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this book.<br /><br />Iliana: While I didn't like her much, Sally was interesting. I hope you get a chance to read this one. I'd love to know what you think.<br /><br />Wanda: I can totally see why a lot of reviewers enjoyed this book. It really was a pacing thing for me. I hope you get a chance to read it and enjoy it.<br /><br />Nicole: I thought it was written in a very unique way.<br /><br />Naida: Thanks!<br /><br />S. Krishna: Thanks! At least Sally was interesting.<br /><br />Staci: If you read it, please let me know what you think.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-11088746702557608382009-04-28T20:41:00.000-04:002009-04-28T20:41:00.000-04:00Loved your thoughts.

Then came your last sentance and I changed my mind. Character-driven novels with rich descriptions are a huge part of my list of all time favourites.

Can't remember the title right now... Anyway, this story intrigues me though. I think I'd like to know why the character is driven to runaway from life/problems/people. So I'm off to go enter my name for the giveaway :)Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-2362294559831212132009-04-27T16:28:00.000-04:002009-04-27T16:28:00.000-04:00Thanks for the honest review Anna.

I agree that the beginning is tough. In fact, I re-read it. But what I got in the book as it unfolded was well worth it for me.

I have found myself wanting to know more of these small towns. It almost reminded me of Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer. Anyway.. since I didn't finish I don't have a rounded opinion of the story...but I am enjoying the book now.

The second half went much faster for me and either way I was interested enough in Sally to need to know what eventually would happen with her and her family.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-81941630824137440342009-04-27T11:08:00.000-04:002009-04-27T11:08:00.000-04:00Great review, Cindy.
