I am happy you still enjoyed it. I love the cover design too - What do you think?Geosihttp://geosireads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-63707182123742842642011-04-28T12:41:58.769+00:002011-04-28T12:41:58.769+00:00@Zibilee, No I have not read Lacuna.

And that's what I expect the novel (as it refers to new or original) to be. And it was well executed.<br /><br />How similar to Lacuna is this?ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-55239252838675396602011-04-28T12:31:53.277+00:002011-04-28T12:31:53.277+00:00This sounds like a really interesting book, execut...This sounds like a really interesting book, executed in a style that is not all that common. I am really intrigued by the sections about the gecko. This story also reminds me a little bit of The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver. Have you read that one yet?Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-91778575355707858102011-04-28T10:37:53.595+00:002011-04-28T10:37:53.595+00:00Yes, it was my problem.

A lot to enjoy from this book.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-44882147330134986152011-04-28T10:34:42.714+00:002011-04-28T10:34:42.714+00:00I've been more and more intrigued by this book...I've been more and more intrigued by this book each time I've heard about it. Doesn't sound like the murder is the main focus so too bad about the blurb misleading you, but I think I will be looking for a copy of this book some day soon.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.com
