My Reviews
Stephen has taken quite a break from his usual "weirdness" in this huge novel. Not everyone understands or likes "the King", however, very few should have problems digesting this one. It's a whopping 849 pages, so give yourself some time.
The book brings to light a great deal of tragedy that is humbling, however, I had a hard time believing and connecting with the main characters.
Unless book club members have watched the mini-series and/or are lovers of medieval fantasy, I would not recommend this for a book club. I, however, devoured it and will do so with the next 6 novels!
Not a bad read. Characters were convincing and kept me interested throughout.
The book flowed smoothly and was quite the page turner! Great characters! Didn't want it to end!
I have read all of Conn Iggulden's books on the "Emperor" series and was not sure I would be as addicted to this series. Wrong! The entire series was insightful and I look forward to his next historical project.
Perhaps it's my feministic ways that prevented me from thoroughly enjoying the book. I just couldn't get past the treatment of the primary character and how she "enjoyed" it? The book was otherwise ok and could have even captivated me had it not been for the Gaelic take of Tarzan and Jane.
Wow....what an insightful book. It was very well written and I actually came unbound at times when reading through some of the tragic portions. I do believe I actually shed some tears and found myself pondering the lives of these two women throughout the days.
What a read! I realize the author probably wasn't trying to get the audience to laugh, but I just couldn't help myself. Would love to have coffee with Jeannette Walls and ask her some big questions. Brilliant!
Another good read! Characters were believable and the storyline flowed. Well done!
I got through it, but just wasn't convinced.
..the main character really turned me off by her lack of concern and overall thoughtlessness.
Perhaps because I don't have a child, I wasn't able to connect with the book. While relevant, I had a difficult time with the style of writing and unconvincing characters and wasn't able to complete the book.
Well done! I finished the book in a few days as it was indeed a page turner! The theme really gives some "food for thought".
Cleverly written - loved the flow!
