I still haven't read it. But then, it took me 10 years to finally read "Into Thin Air". I figure I've got another 5 years until I'm ready for this one.

The Island shook me up for years.Did a lot of camping so the idea of dozing off and having a wild man attack me was a little frightening.lol

I read "The Lovely Bones" a few years ago. I'm afraid it didn't enthrall me as much as it did some people. The ending dismayed me as much as the ending of "Titanic" did. I'll elaborate once you finish it, if you want.

I'm not finished yet. I hope it isn't a false ending.

Sebold's ability to crystallize emotions within a moment--briefly, succinctly, perfectly, and believably--without adornment--has me enthralled.

She knows her stuff!!!
