But, I probably won't pick it up now, after reading your review. I'm not into slow-moving, long books.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-7363372411843636772008-10-11T22:10:00.000-05:002008-10-11T22:10:00.000-05:00Woo hoo!

LOL<BR/><BR/>I have to say - I know I'm in the minority on this one - didn't think <I>In the Woods</I> was "all that." I didn't think it was <I>bad</I>, but I also didn't think it lived up to the hype. I didn't connect at all with the characters; by the end of the novel I pretty much despised Rob. I also thought it was longer than it needed to be. Page count means nothing to me if the book is moving, but the second half of <I>Woods</I> moved much slower than it could have. But, that's just one reader's opinion. I know it's been a very popular read.Jen Forbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325129568512353951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-74045782255945141142008-10-11T14:17:00.000-05:002008-10-11T14:17:00.000-05:00Thanks, Carrie.And, I have Laura Lippman's new col...Thanks, Carrie.<BR/><BR/>And, I have Laura Lippman's new collection of stories in my TBR pile.
