I picked the book up again a couple of days ago and found that I've been through the hard part...no likable characters.<br /><br />Now, some 150 pages deeper into the book, those same characters are being fleshed out so well that I either like them or at least understand better why they are the way they are. It's a deeply layered book, and I'm finally getting it.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-57958114872600486572011-02-26T07:49:53.532-05:002011-02-26T07:49:53.532-05:00Sam - After the initial memory sequence in the hos...Sam - After the initial memory sequence in the hospital, it took me a while to take to Ora, but once we were on the road I couldn't stop.

I'm stalled at about page 140 at the moment but plan to give it another try this weekend.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.com
