I keep hearing about this book. I’m almost afraid to read it.

Oh good! I did it like that–went straight to reading without knowing too much (I’d purposefully avoided all the early buzz). Quite a kick in the chest when I realized what was happening. Enjoy!

Such an unusual review, PCN, but you’ve convinced me. I didn’t read the synopsis and will go straight to reading the book! Sounds intriguing.

If peeking at the synopsis convinced you to read this book, that’s fine by me! Not only does it inspire, it entertains, too. There are lighter scenes among the tough ones.

Sorry, I tried not to look at your synopsis but couldn’t help myself. Though it sounds painful, it also sounds like one of those books that inspires and helps us to count our blessings, and it’s going straight onto The List. Thanks for your review of this one, PCN.

After I finished Room, it took me a while before I could read something else. Jack's voice stayed with me and the books I picked up afterward felt so...ordinary. I was also really moved and wanted to sit with that feeling for a few days. I'm so glad you enjoyed Tana French's novels. I'm still reading In the Woods and liking it but keep getting distracted by new releases.

Okay, I’m in. I keep sneaking peeks at the synopsis and need to stop!!!! I need something fabulous to read; I cannot settle into anything right now as I just finished all three Tana French books and everything I pick up is falling short in comparison. Starting with “In The Woods” (which I won in your contest) I was enamored with and envious of her words. She writes so beautifully it makes me ache with longing to have her ability. Does that ever happen to you? When you finish something you truly love, do you find it difficult to move into something else?

Naomi---Thanks. I hope it moves you as much as it did me. Natalie---I'm SO happy about it making the shortlist! I'm rooting for it to go all the way.
