The ending has been described as 'one of the most poignant of the twentieth century'.<br /><br />Being caught bookless is something you will never be!

I'm especially curious after seeing that quote from another blogger! I have Her Fearful Symmetry on order. I thought it would be easier to just get the US version, but had I ordered from the UK I bet I would already have my copy, too. Instead I am still waiting. (Not that I don't already have plenty to read!).Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-48238490334061550682009-09-26T13:23:54.350-04:002009-09-26T13:23:54.350-04:00Thomas, Don't hesitate to read this book one d...Thomas, Don't hesitate to read this book one day.<br /><br />fleurfisher, It was rough going there for a bit wasn't it!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-6122619199272948962009-09-26T12:06:56.965-04:002009-09-26T12:06:56.965-04:00Isn't it wonderful?!

The tone of this book was so completely different from The Village!<br /><br />Book Psmith, The reactions to this book scared me and I put off reading it for quite awhile. Read this book!<br /><br />HFS is set largely around Highgate Cemetary in London and the anglophile in me is way too intrigued.<br /><br />makedoandread, My goodness that was a roller coaster ride!<br /><br />I didn't bother reading Niffenegger's first book but read Rachel's review and you'll be very tempted to read this one. <br /><br />Rachel, There was a movie playing in my head the whole time. Do you watch Coronation Street? I had little Simon in my head for Jean with his dark hair and big eyes, aahhh.<br /><br />I'm going to start HFS later this afternoon once I'm home from work, can't wait!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-58810853330418123352009-09-26T04:02:20.109-04:002009-09-26T04:02:20.109-04:00Oh Darlene I am so glad you loved it!
