Looking forward to reading the novel!

I read parts of the reviews (avoiding spoilers), and everyone seems to love it.

Looks great to me. I started it last week when I was in the doctor's waiting room and I was almost disappointed that they came for me as quickly as they did. Barely got through a few pages.

That's a good sign. I haven't started yet as I'm leading a discussion in another group. I'm looking forward to it though.

I read it a few years ago (Hardy marathon), but will probably read it again with you.

I have just ordered the book and will start it when it comes.

Downloaded my copy on iBooks. Looking forward to participating!

I started reading it yesterday, and have read the first 3 chapters. It is very good.

Although, after just reading Last of the Mohicans, it is a bit disappointing to go back to the "parlor room." :-) Plus, there doesn't appear to be any type of overarching theme...but I'm sure it will appear at some point.

I feel exactly the opposite. After all this time spent with people who are constantly shooting at each other, killing, scalping, and tomahawking, it's a relief to get back to civilization. I mean, I used enjoy camping in the summers when I was younger, but it was also a joy to get back to my home, my books, and my hot shower.

My book has just arrived and I am looking forward to reading and discussing it.
