Much better than Angels & Demons, though not quite as engrossing as The DaVinci Code.

Thank God that’s over. It was good, but it took me forever to finish. It just didn’t capture my attention that well, at least, not until the very end when we find out that Captain Cook was having a serious crack-up at the time of his death.

My husband loved this book.

This was a very interesting book. It was an easy read, and I appreciate the information contained in it.

This is actually the second time I’ve read this book. Its a very nice, family story that takes place during WWII. A young boy is sent to live with his grandparents after his mother dies and his father goes off to war. This is where he learns what it is like to really be a part of a family.

What a wonderful book. I can’t wait to read more of her stuff.

Everyone should read this book!

Way too disjointed for my tastes. I just gave up.

Not as good as other stuff of hers that I have read.

I’m enjoying this. It’s more serious/heavier than fluff like “Bridget Jones Diary” or the Shopaholic series, so that’s a plus, but is not so heavy that it doesn’t keep you entertained. I recommend it.

Finished it—there were a few loose ends, but still a good read.

Slow, long, dry. Not sorry I read it, but sorry Naslund couldn’t match “Ahab’s Wife” for quality and joy of reading.
