2.5 stars. This was a different one and I have a lot of different feelings about it.
This intriguing story starts at the end of WWII and is written in 5 sections each of which re-canvas the same rough 20 years from 5 different perspectives. Each se... " Read more of this review » |

I really wanted to like this book. The book jacket compares its contents to the writings of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Patricia Highsmith, two writers whom I adore (and a mash-up made in heaven). I also live in Cambridge and pass many of the same str...

Thank you for the friend request! Looks like we have quite a few friends in common, I'll be looking forward to discussing books in the future!
Robert, thanks for the very kind friend request. I look forward to sharing thoughts, reading your reviews, etc.
You're welcome Robert. I only check in on GoodReads sporadically now but I'll try to check out your booklist.
Christine, it really depends on how you define writing. If you mean writing as in publishing, I just had my first novel come out last August. I've been writing for more than eleven years, though, but most of my manuscripts would need serious edits before they could ever see the light of day.
Thanks for the friendvite, Robert! If you ever need a Paranormal/Urban Fantasy fix then I recommend you check out my blog! I've started doing giveaways for great series to my followers:http://vampirenovelfan.wordpress.com/
Happy reading!
Thanks! I'm always happy to become a fan of a dedicated author! I hope that someday I'lle able to read your book! :D
