I just read a magazine that had two different articles detailing someone's infidelity and yes, it is wearying. Thank you for the suggestion.<BR/><BR/>LisaMM, I would be in the same position as you if I had waited, I'm sure!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-80695845308657509872008-08-20T09:10:00.000-05:002008-08-20T09:10:00.000-05:00I'm in the same position as Traci with So Long..

More sophisticated portraits of marriage - To The Lighthouse comes to mind - make much more interesting reading.StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-44266352083548498952008-08-14T15:01:00.000-05:002008-08-14T15:01:00.000-05:00Melanie, I don't think I've read any reviews of Th...Melanie, I don't think I've read any reviews of The Likeness, so I'll look forward to seeing some. I requested So Long..based on the author... I don't think I would have ever picked it up had I known the storyline, though.<BR/><BR/>Iliana, it makes sense to me too -in my head. I guess I just had this idea that there would be more closure. Selfish desire!<BR/><BR/>Traci, I'm glad I just read it right away, so that I'm not in a similar position - if I'd read reviews first, I might not pick it up either.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-75496620663090738392008-08-13T21:03:00.000-05:002008-08-13T21:03:00.000-05:00I keep seeing lukewarm reviews for So Long at the ...I keep seeing lukewarm reviews for So Long at the Fair.

At first I was really bothered by it but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me. I actually can't imagine how else that could have worked. Sorry if that's so vague but I don't want to post any spoilers :)<BR/>I'm looking forward to the second one.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-83889664814002420952008-08-13T19:44:00.000-05:002008-08-13T19:44:00.000-05:00Totally in agreement with your In the Woods review...Totally in agreement with your In the Woods review.

I also have the second book in the series but being an orderly person, I like to read in order. Ha!<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks. It gives me a better idea of what the book was like.

I liked that their were so many other character relationship interactions, but it almost seemed force. Maybe if instead she just focused on two or three couples.J.L.
