It was the same for me with "A Song of Ice and Fire." I literally felt sick. I couldn't think about anything else for a month. (They are really LONG books). And the great thing about great writers is that they encourage you to be one, too. So keep at it, girl! I am hopping over to read your review now.Bess Weatherbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873091527596352004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-82715414668498115632011-03-24T14:17:30.057-04:002011-03-24T14:17:30.057-04:00I have heard so many good things about this book. ...I have heard so many good things about this book.

I love to learn something, but learn it so lightly that I'm delighted, rather than feeling like I'm in a lesson. The Pericles Commission was my last 'couldn't put down' and the description of it NEVER would have led me to believe it was like that, but I think it was just PERFECTLY balanced.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-84744613912623808942011-03-24T09:12:01.637-04:002011-03-24T09:12:01.637-04:00That's on my TBR list.

It's not to be taken lightly just how much effort goes into making a story unputdownable.PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.com
