I was slow reading on this book, just too many other things on the go. I did enjoy it, but probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read it more steadily with out long pauses. It has a Hardy’ish feel to it, and as I am a big Thomas Hardy fan I enjoyed this. I will keep plugging along through the books on the list.

Great book, slow reading lately due to work, renovations and 14 month old daughter. I really enjoyed this one. I wish I had not seen the movie first. That is 38 out of 100 for me. Would love to make the half way point this year.

This is the second Forester Ihave read. I really enjoy his style. Easy reading and good stories. It took me a while to get through. Hard to get much reading done living in our basement with my wife and one year old daughter as we do a major renovation to the main floor of our house. Hope to dig in a bit better when the work is done.
