stricken
Stricken is the best word I can come up with about my latest read. Wally Lamb's The Hour I First Believed...
I am utterly disappointed with this one. I waited until the new year to savor this, ack! I loved his other books so much - but this was a confusing, over-populated mess in my humble opinion. This review nails it.
But it leads me to share that I have started a new blog with my formerly-blogless knitting penpal Christine. We are both avid readers and have decided to blog about it together. I yap about Lamb's book more there. Anyways, Christine and I have our own personal reading goals - mine continues to be the 52 books in 52 weeks plan. I was stunned to see Ravelry has a group named the same - Ravelry truly has everything. It's one stop shopping.

Oohh I love to read. I am always reading something. I am going to have to check it out!
BTW, I meant the new blog, not the book you just read and didn't like...
Consider me subscribed! Love the new blog :)
Good to know. Thanks for the review. I'm not a huge fan. Sorry you were disappointed.
That's a bummer when a book disappoints! I haven't read any of his books. To be honest I haven't read much of late, I'm so in to knitting that if I'm not actually knitting I'm reading knitting patterns and magazines!!! I Like your new blog, will have to book mark it so I can read your reviews :)
ohh.now you tell me...I just order the book...maybe...
That's too bad...I had high hopes for that book too... thanks for the review -- and I'll have to remember to add your other blog to my roll so I can keep up with it!
Aw, that's too bad to hear -- I was going to pick up a copy of this one some time soon, but sounds like I should just skip it. Thanks for the warning!
Yay! I love your book reviews. I have been looking at that Wally Lamb book at B&N and now I don't think I will bother. I have so many other books to read and I don't want to waste my time.
I am glad you linked your new blog. I will definitely be checking it out. That reading list is so impressive. I wish I could read that much.....jealous once again: )
