Interesting but not riveting.

I am thoroughly enjoying this book. Plus having the fun of switching back-and-forth between an audiobook and the print. I love the characters in this one.

I mean, who can’t enjoy a book that centered around Mesopotamia and the ancient wonders of that area. This has been an unexpected delight.

At first this book was confusing and I almost quit, but now I rather like it. Maybe I should say I really am intrigued by it.

So many twists.

Beautiful language but it hasn’t hooked me yet.

Interesting so far.

So many twists and turns, the story changes direction and presents information that I have no idea how it relates to the story. But it’s interesting. Then suddenly. It connects.

Interesting and it has grabbed me from the first page. Lamb’s writing is varied and the cadence is varied so you get a sense of the character’s mood. I don’t think I’ve read someone else’s writing like this.

The writing is clever and funny. It’s something I might hear from a conversation with a friend. So much pain and love and hope comes out. There are phrases I want to remember.

I’m hopelessly hooked, chuckling, and enchanted with the characters and the dialogue.

For later. Wrong timing.

Fascinating so far.

Abandoned

So many unexpected twists, and turns. Picoult keeps the plot, entertaining and wondering what will happen next I will say while I’m all for women’s rights, Picoult could have used a lighter hand reminding us on every page of that importance.

Wow, all the twists and turns. I didn’t anticipate half of these. It makes the story fun to read and interesting. I have no idea how this will turn out although I’m in entertaining several options.

Love the wordplay. Compliment and complement for Lord Hunsdon’s pearl and crusted black velvet doublet.

I’m hooked and enjoying the build up of the characters.

great book with beautiful language. a chance to learn new vocabulary. brilliant for this Saturday afternoon .

So far, the story has drawn me in and is full of fascinating ideas.

getting really interesting and learning aboutChina.

Joy has traveled all the way to China to this place of perfection in her mind. I’m afraid she’s going to be seriously disappointed in both her father and in the state of the country. We’ll see.
