Atonement: The middle of the novel lost me. It was well-written, I just didn’t enjoy it. Much preferred the first and third sections. I can see why it was made into a film, and now I’m mildly interested in seeing what the film is like.
No Humans Involved: Finally, a chance to see Jeremy away from the pack! This book also helped me like Jaime a lot more than I previously have.
A Grave Talent and Art of Detection: I read these voraciously. I enjoy King’s Mary Russell series, so it’s just taken me a while to get around to the Kate Martinelli books. But now that I have, hurrah. Yes, I know I missed reading a few between the first and most recent titles; the latter was the only one my local bookstore had when I’d finished reading Mousme‘s loan of A Grave Talent.
Er, yes. That’s about it. They were books; I read them and enjoyed them to various degrees. Not much to say other than that.
I seem to remember once reading a comment from Kelley Armstrong to the effect that she has a habit of taking the character nobody likes, giving her her own book, and then making everyone like her.
(To that end, could she make readers sympathize with Cassandra, one wonders?)
I have No Humans Involved sitting on my coffee table, just waiting for me to devour it whole. I love Jeremy.
Oh no! I just started Atonement (and I like it)… ;P
I’ll let you know. I like how you didn’t like the middle but you soldiered on and completed it. Lately, I just move on, when that happens.
Saw Atonement at the theatre and liked it pretty well, but I couldn’t get into the book, so I skipped to the end and read how the book sums it up so that was okay.
