My Reviews
Our club was unanimous on this one, as seems to be the case with most clubs for this book.
Absolutely loved this one, as did most of the group. Even the one or two who didn't... well, there's always someone who never finishes anything, right? Still we had a great discussion about these unusual characters. Wish I could read it/discover it again for the first time.
My group was very reluctant to pick this one, as we hadn't done any sci fi, but this book is so much more.
One of the few books we all finished and one of the only ones several of us said made us wet our pants. It's hysterical, but also good for discussion, because it makes you think about the author, her husband, and even their pets' transformations and what we can all learn from them.
We enjoyed the writing and the story. Interesting discussion about family, loyalty and mother-daughter relationships.
I would have given it 2 stars myself, but some in the group really liked this one. The rest of us just don't get what all the fuss is about. Not much of a discussion book.
If you can get past the horrid writing, the story is fascinating to discuss.
This book is horrid. The writing isn't bad, there is just no plot, no story. It's a vampire book where the only real danger is at the very end. The heroine is completely uninteresting and stupid. Perhaps that's why the hero treats her like a toy. How many times do we need to read that Ed's got sweet breath? How in the world did this series get so popular?
The story is compelling, but there's no change or growth. We're not really into discussing how awful a childhood is in our group, unless there is some lesson learned or we can see the change in the author. She didn't write about any of that.
Loved the writing. Different members interpreted various aspects differently, which made for a lively discussion.
Enjoyed the writing, but felt the relationship between the doctor and his wife was never so strong as to make their estrangement that compelling. Still, the rest of the story and themes made for good discussion.
