so, i set it down because the beginning was all about men. i get that they were painting a picture of the political climate, but damn, if the topic is the women who ruled England, why spend chapters on the men? Some day I'll finish.

this book keeps putting me to sleep. it should be marketed next to unisom.

I have an increasingly difficult time accepting the bad guy's primary motivation being "revenge," or "I want to make people suffer." If they're not the hero of their own story, they lose some credibility, so right now, this is a tough sell for me.

By the end of the first paragraph I was all in. By the third page I'd completely bonded with the main character. It wasn't until much later I even knew what she looked like. This is fun.

This dystopian kryiarchy is closer to the way we live than I'd like to admit.

How is this listed under humor? I'm enjoying it. I love that many of the perspectives I've imagined while reading one interview are only three or four interviews off. I like that the author has thought of perspectives very different than the average, or above average, white male american's.

struggling with this one.

I don't intend to revisit this.

bedtime story....

Dragtastic.

the tone is a little preachy so far.

this frequently makes me so uncomfortable i have to put it down. I keep picking it back up, but I can only handle so much of it.

the negative reviews are right.

the question is, how does one finish a book when one can not stand the characters?

if you're into vapid, self destructive, and irresponsible, this is the book for you.

star wars references? really?

All of this "Master" business gnaws at me.

Why on Earth does a book about women who ruled England have to start off with the biography of a man?

Really, Ms. Austen?
