Book 17: Final review
When the end of the month approaches, I always feel the same way - like it just flew by, snuck up on me without even noticing that it was almost here. When we were at the mid-point in the month, I was about halfway through this month's selection. And now that the end is almost here, I'm about five pages past where I was almost two weeks ago. I have a ways to go before I can give this book my final rating, how about you? Are you done? Have you read it before? Did you take a pass this month?

Despite my best intentions, I'm only about 1/4th of the way into it. I'm not qualified to rate it yet, although I can say that reading it makes me hungry. I would like Greenie to leave her stupid husband and come cook for me.

** - Overall I was a bit disappointed in this book. There were some parts I really liked, but there seemed to be so much in this book that was just extra. Extra plots, extra characters, extra bad choices and storyline turns. I liked Ray and Walter... and that was pretty much it!
I'm not sure that I'd read anything by this author again. I remember feeling much the same way about "Three Junes", now that I've gotten through this one. Left feeling like the stories were unsatisfying, incomplete. One other thing that I don't really understand about this author's style is why there are so many storylines going at once. Maybe I'd like it more if the story followed a smaller set of characters.
