          <body><![CDATA[I thought the book was okay and that's how goodreads defines two stars.  (Did you know your average rating is 3.95 and mine is 2.93?  My daughter's is 4.10.)<br/><br/>The Likeness did not live up to the promise of In the Woods for me.  I think French elected to follow the less interesting character.  There's a third book on the horizon and I will certainly read it with an open mind.  ]]></body>
