          <body><![CDATA[Somehow I like this book more than the previous two, which is unusual for me with a series. I think this is just the furthest book from the True Blood series that I've read so far so that's a good thing. I also think Harris moved the story and characters away from a formula that could have been too ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81392078">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Holy cow. This book is slow and sad and slow. And sad. I appreciate the sort of hopeless oppressive feeling that McCarthy invokes so easily, but I'm just not that interested in being so bummed out. <br/><br/>There are some tense moments (well, the whole thing is tense in a &quot;surviving post-apo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18122600">more...</a>]]></body>

Not that Kingsolver romanticizes it at very much, but I think she gives a very interesting feel and tone for a place that is compelling. <br/><br/>Now that I've been to Kenya, I would say that my experience did leave me with a specific feelin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11995854">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[With that book it's exactly what you're saying. I don't think she had a cash advance to live on, but she has the luxury of being a writer and having a mobile career. Most people don't have that so the entire time I kept thinking about how little of a sacrifice the experience really was for her.  <br/><br/>Plus, she used her writer status as a way to get into communities. I also don't think that's realistic for most people. <br/><br/>I haven't read a lot of travel books, but I don't think I would be a huge fan either.]]></body>
