Group Reads Archive: January 2012 Epic Read--A Shadow in Summer

[Jason]

I'm late! Sorry guys, it was a crazy New Year. lol

A Shadow in Summer is our monthly read this month. So, let's discuss!

[mark]

wow, guess no one is reading this one! i'm surprised... this is supposed to be one of the most brilliant fantasies written in the past decade.

i would be all over this book, except it is out of stock here in san francisco. and then when i ordered it on amazon, the seller ended up backing out and gave me a refund. strange! is this turning into some kind of rare book?

[Jason]

Good point, Mark. Is anyone reading this?

[Kevin]

What, I found a few copies at my local Dollar store just earlier this month.

This book was read by another group back in September, and a lot of people read and discussed the book. I wonder why nobody is doing it this time?

I didn't vote for it :) Really, Mark, you've heard it was brilliant? I looked at it on GR and seem to have a ton of play, although Stephen rated it 4 stars. What am I missing?

Not sure where the people are who voted. Did you read it, Jason? Maybe if you have some specifics to discuss to get the ball rolling?
