It's amazing how you're easily drawn into the story and start caring for each character.

Collins is an amazing writer. He does pack a lot into a short 600 pages.<br /><br /><b>Wendy</b>, I know what you mean about finding a spot to fit a book into. I love these challenges, but it does sort of cement your book choices for awhile. I'm planning on Moonstone for next year's classic read.<br /><br /><b>Carl</b>, too many interruptions during the holidays, aren't there. I can't wait to hear your thoughts regarding it. I'm think you will like it.<br /><br />Hello, <b>Lotus</b>. Some classics are so hard to get through or are so boring that it's a bit scary to pick up a big one. This one proves itself worthy of the claim to 'classic'. This is definitely one you'll want to keep in mind for when you have time.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-64671109566577749362007-01-22T15:46:00.000-07:002007-01-22T15:46:00.000-07:00Ohhh, booklogged, this really does sound like a fa...Ohhh, booklogged, this really does sound like a fantastic read!
