Cherie wrote: "I’ve been trying to get to read Cold Mountain for two or three years now. Did you like it?"Honestly I thought it was very slow paced. It was well written, I do genealogy and thought I would like it because the mid 1800's is my favorite time to research, If I was in school and STUDIED the story it probably would have blown me away, but I am 50 and just want to read a book for enjoyment and fun, This one wasn't that. It also bothered me that he didn't use quotation marks, I don't know why but I wanted to get out a pen and add them! The story is interesting, I just wished it moved along faster if that makes sense, I wouldn't tell you NOT to read it, it just wasn't what I was looking for.
