Difficult to pull that off.<BR/><BR/>The only issue I had with the story was what I considered to be a gaping hole near to the end. I'll chat with you about it in person, because it's a spoiler to mention it.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879042817109440814.post-49466552584071803892008-02-09T09:16:00.000-08:002008-02-09T09:16:00.000-08:00I read this book aloud to my husband two summers a...I read this book aloud to my husband two summers ago while traveling, and we both really enjoyed it. The narrative form is so unusual and makes it hard to describe, but I loved that as a creative element. Definitely not your typical novel!

It is a treat.<BR/><BR/>Framed - It was a great book and I didn't realize it was from a first time author.<BR/><BR/>Trish - I agree that parts are confusing - but I liked that. I think this one would get better on a reread.<BR/><BR/>Jeane - I don't know how you'd tell this story without the holes. I did wonder how Henry found Claire for the very first time.<BR/><BR/>Maria - Thanks for visiting. I checked out your blog. You sound like a busy, snowed in homeschooler.

Am looking forward to it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
