It's no my to read list but I just didn't get around to it this month!<br /><br />I really wanted to read this along with you but the month of December has been crazy. I haven't even finished a single book this month & I usually read about a book/week... So yah, really not a good reading book for me!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104815458753282422.post-66467118560359430472009-12-20T21:40:57.564-08:002009-12-20T21:40:57.564-08:00My answers/thoughts:

I could almost feel her pain in feeling trapped. Although her way out was a bit extreme, I could see how she got there and could think that it was the only way. Julia kind of annoyed me!<br /><br />2) I am ambiguous about ghosts. I don't actively believe in them, but I am definitely open to their existence. I liked the way they were presented in this book; just there, not scary...that kind of ghost form I have more faith in. I believe that there is so much more to this world than we are aware of and we have no right to say that we know all of what is out there.<br /><br />4) I think twins are a different breed! I think this depiction was slightly exaggerated, but I do believe that they tend to have a stronger bond than ordinary siblings. <br /><br />6) I loved Martin!! I tend to gravitate towards quirky people and characters though. I think Niffenegger presented a good depiction of OCD also, granted this is a severe form and unmedicated, but still very good portrayal. Plus, I love that he made crossword puzzles :)<br /><br />7) I do think the "secret" affected everyone. I actually loved that about the book. I find it amazing to think about the fact that we are all connected in some way; everything we do will somehow affect someone else, which will affect someone else, and on and on. That is quite profound if you think about it. I like how she presented it though in small parts throughout the book as a way to show the ripple effect.<br /><br />8) Yes, I really liked the book. I love stories like this that make you think about ideas that are bigger than yourself. I really like her writting style too. Highly recommended!crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144330347406193919noreply@blogger.com
