The details were so cutting and descriptive -- I feel like I'll always remember certain passages in the book. Antalek's voice was unique, and I cared for each of the Haas siblings by the end -- even Kate.

There's that saying that goes something like, "There's what he said happened, there's what she said happened, and there's what really happened."<br /><br />Thanks for being on this tour!

I'm thinking this book falls into the latter category. Great review of a book that is not quite my cup of tea, but I enjoyed the review immensely.<br /><br />Btw, I’ve given you the Prolific Blogger award.

It's good to know though because my book club is squeaky clean and it would offend them to no end. Not me though.

I don't mind a sex scene if it's an integral part of the story (the sex tape scene in Testimony by Anita Shreve) but I don't like a lot of gratuitous or graphic sex.Angie (By Book or By Crook)http://bybookorbycrook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-3318617051860962102010-02-09T20:50:52.062-06:002010-02-09T20:50:52.062-06:00I think I'd like to try this book at some poin...I think I'd like to try this book at some point; love the cover, and your review was great!(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-72474438602818385022010-02-09T20:34:04.671-06:002010-02-09T20:34:04.671-06:00Excellent review Lisa. this does sound like a book...Excellent review Lisa. this does sound like a book I would enjoy and the sex scenes don't bother me.
