I definitely recommend it.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108789532345790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-42424026314983933982016-01-03T00:28:51.714-05:002016-01-03T00:28:51.714-05:00I missed this review.

And reading something about it from someone who has read it gets me warmed up to it; I'll want to read it sooner than later. So that's a good thing. <br /><br />The Russian name issue is a problem. When I read War and Peace, I tried to give the characters one English name or a name easy to remember, and then I stuck with it. Sometimes I changed it as I read. It helped a little.Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-41052678895315401052014-10-28T05:29:06.355-04:002014-10-28T05:29:06.355-04:00I've been making my way though this chunkster ...I've been making my way though this chunkster since the New Year when I got this book as one of my Classic Club spins.<br />I'm enjoying, but not 100% in love...which is why it's taking so long. I'd love to send an editor in to give it a good cull!<br /><br />I only skimmed the second half of your review to avoid any spoilers, but I am struggling with all the religious talk in the book. <br />I want the murder and trial stuff to get going and I'd prefer to learn about human nature that way, through the action of the story, rather than being preached to!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.com
