I've decided not to finish this book. The writing is god, and I like the setting, but Romeo is a real creepy jerk in this. Just no for me.

I have to read this one for an upcoming book discussion. Honestly, I'm not enjoying it, and unlike some other titles I've "had" to read/finish, I don't think my opinion is going to change.

It's a great concept, and I think there's a lot to be explored when looking at "early death" and a death doula business, but the writing is a little lackluster for my taste, and the characters are flat.

It's better than I expected. There will be a lot of things to talk about at the book discussion.

So, it moves fast, and that's a plus. But, I don't love it, and the jury is still out to see if I'm going to like it. The writing is good, and that always scores points with me, I just don't like this character. She's very me, me, me, and my preference it to avoid those personalities in real life.

Twelve pages in and would return this to the library if I could. It's for a book discussion that I'm leading, so U've got to see this through. Maybe it will be better than U'm expecting at this point.

I'm not really sure how I'm feeling about this one. It's okay - and maybe it will pick up, but I don't think I'm liking this very much. I hate to say it, but it's kind of annoying.

So so sad, but it's also absolutely wonderful.

It feels like it was written some time ago, which is fair - it was published in the 1950s. So far it is interesting, and now that I'm gotten used to the very wordy descriptions, it's moving along nicely.

This book has been around for eleven years - why am I only just now reading it? It's wonderful in so many ways.

I'm so close to the end, but it feels like it's going to take forever. It's dragging, and repeating itself. I'm too far in to give it up, so I'll finish it, but my expectations are very low. Here's hoping I don't nod off and I can get to the mediocre ending sooner rather than later.

So far I'm not impressed. Almost 100 pages in and I'm really not sure what is going on. The main character is slightly annoying, leading me to not exactly care why she's in this very strange situation. It all feels disjointed, and I thought that feeling would start to fade as I git further along. Nope. I'm going to stick with it a bit more.

Another one for my 'started-it' shelf, and I know this one is a won't ever finish. The description gives it so much promise - the devil's daughter rowing to Edinburgh

I’m not sure I’ll finish this one.
