That's the only one of hers that's really good. Her latest, Ape House, is dreadful which is too bad b/c bonobo's are cool but the book is awful. I can't wait to see the movie of Water for Elephants.
This is good to know. I enjoyed Water for Elephants and since Ape House is now an affordable paperback I thought I would read it...maybe not...
I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy and just started To Kill a Mockingbird. I decided that I would read some classics this year, interspersed with the trade fiction.
I finished "Mockingbird" a few months ago. Really enjoyed it. Didn't remember much of it from high school.
Currently halfway through "A Clash of Kings". Second book in the "Game of Thrones" series."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -

Kristin Lavransdattar by Sigrid Unset
Rereading it for the umpteenth time (if you're counting the previous version), 2nd time for the Tiina Nunnely translation. Incredibly rich story."The stars are all connected to the brain."0
