Really not sure how I feel about this yet, though it's slow going for me right now...

The ambivalent book of ambivalence?

Ha! I started this three days ago and have quit. I'm going to have to make myself start reading again!
If you have to make yourself read it, maybe you shouldn't bother. :)
I've quit too many books lately! I hate doing that but I've had an even shorter attention span lately lol
Plus there are some real dud books out there... :/
No kidding! I keep reading them anyway though :(
Life is too short to read bad books, unless they're so bad you keep reading them for the badness....
Like ugly babies!This is just weird, like I'm not sure if I'm supposed to find the weirdness exciting and interesting or well, just plain weird. Nah, mostly its just frustrating because I still don't understand anything yet and I hate when that happens. Combine me having to force myself to keep going for answers with the fact that everyone is REALLY strange and well, its a bad combo.
LOL about the babies!I read one book by this author and don't believe I will be reading any more, although I was totally in the minority with my opinion on the book.
Wow, don't you love it when people are, well "unintentionally" offensive (just a comment you had on that review, ahem).I've never been interested in that one so I haven't even thought about reading it really, but my theory was that I'd read this book first since I want to read it less than Water Waltz and that way maybe I'd go from a so so book to a good book. Now, if WW is any good at all then I'll be happy!
Yeah, I know what you mean re: that comment. And hey, if the writing and story are good, I can definitely get immersed (that's one of the criteria for a five-star read, actually). But it's just not going to happen for a poorly written and confusing story...Anyway! Good luck on this one and WW. :)
Thanks! And Happy Reading! xo
I love the cover for this book.
Yes! I do too. Looks like an Anne Cain.. I wonder :)
I thought Anne Cain does the really cutesy Yaoi type drawn covers. Is the whole garden thing in this book like The Secret Garden?ETA: This is my favorite Anne Cain cover then.
No, that's PL Nunn. Psh, I wish this book had a cool garden! So far it's only mentioned the garden once so I'm taking that it's used as an example in the blurb of how everchanging the dude's house and land is.
