March's selection

So I have just started reading this one, and OMG..... what a way to start off a book. I've been really excited to read this title as it has come highly recommended by customers. What do you think?

I loved it! One thing that's interesting to me is people either loved it or hated it. Like you mentioned, Robin, it definitely has an Agatha Christie feel/ inspiration and will most likely be turned into a movie. I wonder what actress should be cast as Lo?

Being a slow reader, I was surprised at how quickly I got through the book! I simply couldn't get enough of it. Without giving away any spoilers, there are many elements I found interesting and I'm glad one of my inklings was spot on but also pleasantly surprised too in the end. The psychological condition and flaws of Lo's characteristic made her realistic. Judah, her boyfriend, was incredibly sweet and caring. The setting on and off the boat were all beautifully described.

Another aspect of the book I enjoyed was meeting the characters on the boat including the staff and guests. There are many aspects of the book I enjoyed but again, I don't want to give anything away. I did complete the book with some questions that I may ask later after everyone is done. :-)

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it : ) I just finished it last night, and I have to say....I did not see that ending coming. I think one aspect of the book I really enjoyed that added suspense was the breaks in book which included newspaper reports and chat room transcripts. I would find myself constantly flipping back to these inserts while Lo's days were catching up with the timeline.
