It begins so well. Hoping I won't be too disappointed as I continue.

Decent read. Not as complex as some historical fiction but a bit entertaining.

eBook read. Great start

Am still bored. Might DNF this one and find a different ebook for day reading.

So far, I'm not impressed. Great cover though

A simple, quiet book. Just a nice look at characters and their lives over the course of one week. A relaxing book.

I'm finding it hard to get into this story. I'm not sure why but am moving it to my dnf for now.

Surprise! I'm actually enjoying this. The main character isn't too immature, foreshadowing is expertly created so that it is hard to determine what is being foretold, so many well crafted characters, and yes, I can see how it is nominated for a Hugo. Yet, is it better than Everlasting? Hmmm

A Hugo nominee and, other than Everlasting (excellent book) Raven Scholar is the only other one on the list that seemed possibly good. I guess we will see. Actually, I'm enjoying it, although I've come across a few chapters that aren't really necessary in the big picture.

I'm surprised at how much I'm caught up in the small book.

I'm not sure but I think Tartt gives the end of the story in the preface. As like The Goldfinch, great writing

I loved Goldfinch so we shall see about this one.

Due back at the library. I may, or may not, come back to it. There are so many good points about this book and character, yet it is too fractured or in bits and pieces for me to enjoy it.

Probably the saddest, tragedy-ridden book I've ever read. Not sure how long I will keep reading. However, so well written. Outstanding author.

Not sure what to think. It seems that the author has fractured the main character into a million little pieces that the reader needs to piece together.

Okay. It's getting good and the foreshadowing is minimal but expressed through an alien's written records. As a testament to great writing, it is just enough to entice the reader to continue.

It was really hard to get caught up in this book. The first 50+ pages were almost bland and it was hard to develop any liking of the main character. Fortunately, it has gotten much better.

Have read the first short story and must say that this book will take a while due to size. I'm looking forward to it!

Not too sure about this yet. Written differently from my norm.

I *really* hate a series, especially when they are really good.
