It's just when I got to the end and there were literally no surprises in the whole book that I felt a smidgen disappointed.Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832420356107544084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35403484.post-68602518453415633372009-05-07T09:04:00.000-07:002009-05-07T09:04:00.000-07:00I've seen a lot of reviews like this and I'm start...I've seen a lot of reviews like this and I'm starting to wonder if I missed something. I really couldn't put the book down, which must have made me overlook writing deficiencies because it just 'clicked' for me. Yes, some parts were a bit cheesy, but somehow it was exactly the right book at the right time for me.Jen - devourer of bookshttp://www.devourerofbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35403484.post-80528354757640996532009-05-07T08:15:00.000-07:002009-05-07T08:15:00.000-07:00This one sounds interesting.

As a grad student myself, I enjoy books that take place in academia, although sometimes I think authors have a hard time pulling back and editing when they've done a lot of research on a topic. Sometimes they sacrifice story in favor of being overly thorough (I'm thinking of The Historian, specifically), and it can make for a pretty dull read, where you feel as though you're simply reading someone's dissertation. It doesn't sounds as though that's the case here though, which is a good thing!Stephhttp://www.stephandtonyinvestigate.comnoreply@blogger.com
