I liked this book a lot, but agree totally that the saving grace of the book was Frankie. Those sections where she was on the train are just so horrendous, so moving and so unusual. I haven't read anything that used that kind of perspective before. .-= Marg´s last blog ..TSS: Anzac Day 2010 =-.

Oh no! I have this book coming up and was hoping to love it. Well, perhaps it's best going into a book with more realistic expectations. I'll be curious to see how our opinions compare. .-= Literate Housewife´s last blog ..#248 ~ Arcadia Falls =-.

It drives me nuts when the ending doesn’t fit the book. I’m still looking forward to reading this one, though. I’ll add your review to War Through the Generations, if that’s okay.

I think I liked this book better than you did, but I didn't love it either. And some of that has to do with events near the end. But I like the premise and I like the questions it brings up. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Readalong 2: The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien =-.

I don’t know… the premise of this book doesn’t really grab me, to be honest.

I have no solutions either, but you're so right - those questions still matter. .-= Nymeth´s last blog ..The Sunday Salon – The 1930’s =-.

I have read pretty good reviews of this book, but yours gives me pause. This might be a book to try from the library, or wait for paperback. Very nice review, your honesty was very helpful to me. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Watermark: A Novel of the Middle Ages by Vanitha Sankaran - 368 pgs =-.

I did not come close to loving this book. Like you, it just didn't grab me. It wasn't a bad book, but once I finished it I kept trying to understand what all the fuss was about! .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..The Sunday Salon =-.

Fantastic review. I think we felt almost exactly the same about this novel! Your review was much more eloquent, though! .-= Julie P.´s last blog ..Review: Poor Little Bitch Girl =-.
