I found it long winded - there were good parts but lots of times where it was slow

[Janice, Moderator]

That's a good assessment of it. There were parts that I really liked and others were yawn worthy. Still, I'm glad I read it.

[Cherie]

I agree, Marie. I was just curious if you liked it. I felt the same as you and Janice.

It has such good reviews I often wonder what others are seeing that I am missing

Oh, good connection on the dual identity!

I love seeing what everyone comes up with - things that I never connected with looking at objects.

Looking at all of those objects for this museum was as boring at it gets. I found a pot with two owls on it that I finally settled on. Now, I have to find a book to read for it. ;o)

I have struggled with the connections some are very tame really but i haven't been looking what anyone else does because then i cannot seem to go off on any other lines
