The allende book meandered quite a bit and didn't really tell an actual story until towards the end, it just kind of explored the history of this one family. I still want to read this book, but I will be forewarned that it is long and meandering :-)Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291849265680986228.post-34289526934942541762008-06-04T13:16:00.000-04:002008-06-04T13:16:00.000-04:00I had the same experience with this book that you ...I had the same experience with this book that you did. The meandering almost drove me crazy too! I didn't hate it but didn't love it either. Although looking back there are parts of the book that has stayed in my mind. I also read it when I was 18 so I'd like to see how I like his writing now that I am older. I'm wanting to try Love in the Time of Cholera as well to see how I like that one.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978371169108528359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291849265680986228.post-44209421790907159972008-06-04T05:28:00.000-04:002008-06-04T05:28:00.000-04:00I loved this when I read it in my pre-blogging day...I loved this when I read it in my pre-blogging days, and have loved the other books I have read by him. For this book, I do definitely think it helped to be reading it along with a group so that you could discuss it as you went along. I don't know that I would have enjoyed it anywhere near as much if I had read it by myself.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.com
