I was very impressed with the world that she has created in Graveminder. It is rich and nuanced - urging you to dive in and explore it. Graveminder is currently a stand alone book, but I would love to see Marr explore this world more closely - there are so many elements to it that it would be a shame not to. The story progresses at a relatively slow pace, and while it does let you soak up the atmosphere that Marr has created, I would have liked to see some more action to create a more dynamic story.Belgiehttp://findingselfbelief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-1876772713912005452012-02-18T07:15:57.730-06:002012-02-18T07:15:57.730-06:00This book was unusual, and terrific, Kris.

And, I had a copy of the one with the original cover in hand when a librarian asked to see it. She said covers attract her first, and she liked that one.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-38855883838648275872012-01-20T14:23:52.811-06:002012-01-20T14:23:52.811-06:00I agree with you and like the original cover bette...I agree with you and like the original cover better.

Turned out I tested out at 97% anyways, so I already read fast naturally. I never did really use the speed reading because I didn't enjoy the books then. My natural speed is good enough.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-61379221892964434542012-01-20T09:39:02.656-06:002012-01-20T09:39:02.656-06:00You keep suggesting more good books than I can rea...You keep suggesting more good books than I can read. I've put this one on my list. It sounds fascinating. I tried speed reading one time, but I didn't enjoy the books as much.Joe Baronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275991273751678636noreply@blogger.com
