I really wish this book weren't marketed as a novel. I think my enjoyment would have been more if I thought it would be stories. I do want to re-read it though to see if I catch more interconnectedness.nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-34232945723792345852010-10-10T15:10:48.501-04:002010-10-10T15:10:48.501-04:00Great review - honest about an author you love. I ...Great review - honest about an author you love. I think it's incredibly difficult to put together a novel that follows many storylines. Many times I get that feeling that you describe, about stories that aren't as interesting, or I forget about characters and really have to work to remember what was going on. It's also hard when storylines are linked together but sometimes just barely - that makes it difficult to follow.<br /><br />I'll probably pick this up. I love the themes/ideas you mentioned.CGLnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182797883212581609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-36759728726898449072010-10-10T14:45:45.554-04:002010-10-10T14:45:45.554-04:00Ahh I've also wanted to read this since I firs...Ahh I've also wanted to read this since I first discovered it was coming out!
