I think that eventually I will reread it because it was such a long book and I'm sure I missed a few things. Maybe I'll have to try the audiobook since you enjoyed it so much :)samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-62264040930829751262012-09-24T08:52:45.906-07:002012-09-24T08:52:45.906-07:00Ha!

I was surprised by how totally readable it was; also, Collins is so darn sexist that it adds a whole new layer of humor.<br /><br />The only other Collins book that I've read is The Moonstone. I enjoyed it as well, though I think The Woman in White was a bit better.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104353672021261729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-25479435983992160222012-09-21T16:50:12.156-07:002012-09-21T16:50:12.156-07:00We were just discussing this book at book club las...We were just discussing this book at book club last night.

Also, just read your Unspoken review and am glad to hear it wasn't perfect. All I've been hearing about it is raving and that always makes me nervous because I don't like to go into a book with too high of expectations. Anyway, hopefully I'm making sense. :DEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199624998247618525noreply@blogger.com
