I'm thrilled that this is one of the best books I've read. Her characters are very strong. I feel like I'm watching a movie. Did anyone else feel this way?
Hi ladies- sadly, i have been in a reading slump since surgery. So strange for me. But, i started reading Into the Wilderness and can't put it down. Love the characters and the local references. I am about 1/3 into it and find myself constantly wanting to get back to it. It will be fun discussing it. :)
Absolutely, Cindy. Into the wilderness was so fast paced, and it left you wanting more! Travels with Charley is slower paced, but I find the writing is so beautiful. John Steinbeck has a way with words, but he can also be verrrry descriptive. It's a small book, but may take a while to get through. Hope it picks up for you :)
Yes he does get a little bogged down in some descriptions. I thought it would be a nice break for my mind, but I think I need a little unwind :) I do love charley the French dog.-too funny
I am almost finished with this book. I didn't realize upon reading it that it would have such a romance involved...I have always been one not for the romance stuff but I LOVE IT! Wow. The book takes a lot of my energy, I spent over 2 hours reading it last night and could not put it down. I get so drawn in to the characters and what is going on, it's addicting. I just ordered book #2 and it should arrive at my door before I finish up this one. The books are thick and intimidating but I've enjoyed it so far!!!
