You kinda get to know what other people don't like and do like. If you'd told me, "You won't like this" I would have believed you. I definitely do now! =DCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-72037169625520101202010-09-28T13:20:25.805-07:002010-09-28T13:20:25.805-07:00Not surprised that you didn't like Eyre Affair...Not surprised that you didn't like <i>Eyre Affair</i>. It's not a book for everyone. Everything is tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top ridiculous...and it's a good thing you stopped, because the series just gets even more so! (Actually *spoiler alert* in the latest book it comes out that time travel never has been invented, it's just used like you can spend money on a credit card you don't have. Then, it turns out, it won't *ever* be invented, so it ceases to be possible. Yes, ridiculous, but it has been in stitches!)Ronnicahttp://ignoranthistorian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-88249804976131663322010-09-27T18:31:12.640-07:002010-09-27T18:31:12.640-07:00Loved By Choice--sounds great, I would like to rea...Loved By Choice--sounds great, I would like to read it as well. As an adoptive mother to three, I have heard much negativity about adoption as well, and get scared when I read adult adoptee blogs. But then, I know several adult adoptees in person who are unanimously positive about their experience. I rec'd an email from one today which said "STOP READING THOSE BLOGS!" chuckle Nice to have two encouraging comments on this subject today.Shonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-8678087568629127532010-09-27T17:45:42.886-07:002010-09-27T17:45:42.886-07:00I have to admit I was expecting that you probably ...I have to admit I was expecting that you probably wouldn't like Eyre Affair. I read his Nursery Crime book. I think I liked it ok, but it was strange. This I just never bothered to read, I'm not a big fan of sci-fi and I knew that this was an alternate ending to Jane Eyre. I just couldn't imagine liking a book that messes with Charlotte Bronte's book... it's like all those wanna-be Austen writers. Anyway, I don't think you missed much. But then again, it could be just a taste thing.Sarah M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08658247100019831005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-55161018340610432572010-09-24T07:18:33.115-07:002010-09-24T07:18:33.115-07:00Too bad about The Eyre Affair.
