It wasn't there for me.<br />By stating that I found it similar to Atonement, I merely meant the writing style (overly detailed with tons of analogies). I was not referring to the story line.<br />I know many people who have enjoyed this book (which is why I picked it up in the first place) and would also give it 4 or 5 stars.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902585771297046270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-39942807688117568752009-07-26T19:23:13.684-07:002009-07-26T19:23:13.684-07:00Since this is a fairly recent review, I thought I ...Since this is a fairly recent review, I thought I would add my "two cents" -- I really enjoyed this book. We just finished this book last month for our book review. I fell in love with Swede and Reuben (especailly Swede). I loved the relationship they developed with Roxanna -- and her romance with Jeremiah. I've read Atonement too -- and I don't see the similarity at all. I was disappointed with the ending -- but can see where Jeremiah saved both Reuben at the beginning of his life and the end. Based on your ratings, I would have given it 4 stars.Gerbera Daisy Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605934758292568280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-43102055747798911042009-05-22T17:06:57.164-07:002009-05-22T17:06:57.164-07:00I second that, Mindy!

If it reminds you even remotely of Atonement then I'm not interested in reading it either. Thanks Heather for taking one for the team!!!MindySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122081120154598894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-5527095114851661552009-05-22T13:59:59.999-07:002009-05-22T13:59:59.999-07:00Amen.

I think I read it for a class and was never sure why the professor selected it. There might be more to it but I'm not willing to read it again to find out.Marlyse and Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829800812701328063noreply@blogger.com
