I don't regret reading it and at least I've scratched this particular itch. Maybe the 100-odd page prequel comes cheaper and offers you the chance to sample the author without as great a financial investment. I'd be interested to know what you think, if you do make the leap!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-25485412760247250122017-03-15T08:53:47.218-07:002017-03-15T08:53:47.218-07:00Col, I've been toying with reading this one ev...Col, I've been toying with reading this one ever since it came out a few years ago. Still not sure but have so much else to read anyway. Good that you gave it a try.gakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527510140415920673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-75323899642790393772017-03-15T07:01:23.049-07:002017-03-15T07:01:23.049-07:00Margot - you've got to love a book set in a bo...Margot - you've got to love a book set in a bookstore I suppose. And it did have a kind of quirkiness to it. Maybe I'm being unduly harsh and only "THE SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE" revealed to me would have made me score it 5 stars (Like that's going to happen!!!!). I just recall finishing it and thinking, was that it? col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-7474300042927657722017-03-15T06:56:28.833-07:002017-03-15T06:56:28.833-07:00You know, as I was reading your review, Col, I tho...You know, as I was reading your review, Col, I thought the premise was appealing, too, in its odd way. Sometimes utter nonsense can be appealing, and even draw a reader in. Still, just as important is an ending that satisfies. Sorry to hear that didn't happen for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
