It was certainly one of the most challenging reads I have experienced for a while. I am glad I persevered though - I probably wouldn't have but for the readalong, and I certainly shared your concerns about George. I will read the reviews in the mainstream press (if any) with interest.JudiJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288121862862887118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-65378696443290350022011-10-30T01:50:50.058+11:002011-10-30T01:50:50.058+11:00It sounds like this one wasn't a favorite for ...It sounds like this one wasn't a favorite for you, and I am not sure that it would be a read for me either.

I'm glad you stuck with it and persevered, and I think there will be lots of readers who get to the end and have a sigh of relief that it's all over! I do wonder about the 'preamble and coda' thing - I'm thinking there's likely to be a new round of interviews where she's asked about that so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more information!Danielle Zappavignahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493099952285137131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-89824331172038332452011-10-29T19:08:15.146+11:002011-10-29T19:08:15.146+11:00I thought of you in reading this last part.
