For one thing, these days I tend to run the other way from a book that Oprah recommends. Just me :) And now after reading your review, I'm really glad I've avoided this one. I think I'll spend my time reading books I'm pretty sure I will enjoy and love, and not one where I would struggle through.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great review!Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-39659550693199572272008-05-09T00:04:00.000-05:002008-05-09T00:04:00.000-05:00O.C. - Good to have you here and no that would be ...O.C. - Good to have you here and no that would be the 'Hammers' or West Ham UnitedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542425639950850366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-21143455793088932402008-05-08T23:03:00.000-05:002008-05-08T23:03:00.000-05:00A very good review Sarah. I've read lots of review...A very good review Sarah. I've read lots of reviews on this book--seems to be on lots of blogs over time but yours seems the most honest. <BR/><BR/>I'll tell you one major reason this book was a success that some don't always consider--speaking as a graphic designer--the name of the book (clever) and especially the book cover design. Together, you want to read it! Even I cracked opened its pages but didn't find it that compelling enough to consider a further read beyond the cursory scan.Mmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379020705220234984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-1600299212438556742008-05-08T21:29:00.000-05:002008-05-08T21:29:00.000-05:00OMGG RHEA!!!!I AM DUMBFOUNDED UTTERLY, I hope you'...OMGG RHEA!!!!<BR/><BR/>I AM DUMBFOUNDED UTTERLY, I hope you're loving it now!<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the movie?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542425639950850366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-1628831344459894442008-05-08T21:24:00.000-05:002008-05-08T21:24:00.000-05:00I forgot to add, I was looking at your favorite bo...I forgot to add, I was looking at your favorite books list on the sidebar, and I realized I had never actually read Pride & Prejudice!
