Timing had a lot to do with it, though.<BR/><BR/>*Bookfool - I know exactly what you mean--when I go onto Amazon for reviews (which I don't do quite as often), I always look at the bad things. I kind of stopped doing that though because then I looked for those bad things in the book. Know what I mean? This was good just not great.<BR/><BR/>*Anna - It could be. Part of me feels that because I can't really pinpoint what it is about this book that I didn't love that it might have been timing--but I'm loving the book I'm reading now...? I do hope you like it!!<BR/><BR/>*Joy - Haha--at least there's that. :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-89255690890935850452008-09-27T07:56:00.000-05:002008-09-27T07:56:00.000-05:00Well, at least the book ended on a good note! :)Well, at least the book ended on a good note! :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-2883521105116737452008-09-27T01:30:00.000-05:002008-09-27T01:30:00.000-05:00I appreciate the honest review.

The other reviews I've read have been all glowy, so far. I like to hear the negatives. I hope that's not a bad thing, LOL. There are so many books on the Salem Witch mess that it's hard to choose what to read and what not to. It's a fascinating topic but not always done well in the retelling.<BR/><BR/>Hope you find something wonderful to read, this weekend!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-68963728140578297982008-09-25T11:04:00.000-05:002008-09-25T11:04:00.000-05:00This time period is quite interesting.

On the flip side, it's also frustrating sometimes when I can't figure out why I love a book so much. Ha ha--I guess I need to figure these things out! :) But for example Ishiguro and McCarthy books really draw me in but I can't pinpoint what it is about them that I find so intriguing!<BR/><BR/>*Natasha - Cool!! I don't think we had any family over here that early. Most of my dad's family came over in the 1950s and my mom's in the 1800s.<BR/><BR/>*Melody - Books like this make me want to read more historical fiction--such a fun (and informative) genre!<BR/><BR/>*Jeanette - Mood plays a big part for me. It is a very interesting book--I hope you like it!<BR/><BR/>*Laura - Some girl at Starbucks the other day went into this whole lecture about how The Crucible isn't really about the Salem Witch Trials but McCarthyism blah blah blah--I just wanted some coffee. :) But yes, the time period is really interesting!!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-74742434595058680522008-09-25T07:07:00.000-05:002008-09-25T07:07:00.000-05:00*Wendy - I completely agree--and I think that's wh...*Wendy - I completely agree--and I think that's what happened with this one.

I do hope you enjoy it!<BR/><BR/>*Corinne - Hopefully it passes and the next read is better.
