Sandra Brown is an excellent thriller mystery writer with storues that include interesting, engaging characters and romance, all of which I enjoy. My only complaint is that I can't put her books down, and either lose sleep or don't get much done.

Started out interesting and then just didn't make sense to me - I did not agree with,it's tenets. I will not finish it.

Actually my kindle says I'm on pg 488 of 949- different numbering. Still amazed at the writing and enjoying learning more details of the complex, genius plot than told in the movies and play. Reading it slowly because sometimes I want to read something that I don't know the plot of.

I love the musical and the dramatic movie based on this book. I have seen both often and own the DVD of each. Even so, I very much enjoy reading the actual book- it fills in gals in the plots of the two productions , teaches me history, transports me as in a time machine to vicariously live in that era, increases my vocabulary on every page, and stimulates reflection many political and social issues of that day.

I have finished chapters one and 2

I finished chapters 1&2 - one is about why to observe the Sabbath all day - sounds so appealing to relax, not think about work, communicate with God, only do charitable work in Sunday. I woyld have to really reorganize my life to tAnd 2nd chapter is about honoring God by eating "mindfully" . Her way , now that she is Christian , is to eat seasonal food only. Can't say I agree with that. I'd have to find another way.

I've read about 85% of this book. It is very interesting- biographical history written in narrative form with research background inserted at the points I'm asking questions. I've learned about Voltaire , Diderot , various monarchs and other artists and intellectuals of her time period. I also have better understanding of Russia's historical development especially political.
