In reply to Buried In Print. Yeah I'll be interested to hear what you think. I was intrigued by Fan's character and wanted to really get behind her story but was kept a bit distant from her.

I heard Maureen Corrigan speak, in an NPR podcast, about this one and she nearly talked me out of it, but I still want to give it a go. This would be my first of his books, but the idea truly intrigues me. Good to know that you have found it dense; I’ll choose what I read alongside carefully to help me along with that possibility.

In reply to Literary Feline. Yeah I guess this book was a big departure for the author from his other books -- in its dystopian plot etc.; so his other ones might be quite good. Don't rule them out. Cheers.

I have another of this author’s books in my TBR stacks to read. Surrendered, I think it’s called. I haven’t read too much about this one but the premise sounds interesting. It is too bad it isn’t written better. I don’t think it is one I want to read right now. Maybe at some point, if the mood strikes. I’ll keep in mind your thoughts on it though, so as not to set my expectations too high.

In reply to bermudaonion (kathy). Yeah there were some good things but you sort of have to wade through quite a bit to get there. Thanks Kathy

Hm, you’re not the first person to mention the fact that this book is dense. I appreciate your honesty and will probably skip it.
