I honestly wasn't interested in reading HOS, but after I got into it, it was pretty good. I think that the worst part of the book was the ending. One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is a book or movie that ends really badly. It seemed like Farmer was in a hurry and rushed the ending. The beginning of the book was also a bit slow. Once you got into the middle of the book, it was quite drawing and made you want to read more. If I could improve this book I would put more action into it. Throughout the book it is more quite and there is no real conflict, making it somewhat boring at times. Other than the lack of action, and the odd boring spot. I think that the book was well written with a strong story line, and I would recommend this book to many of my friends!
Hmmm. Is this how we have been crafting book reviews this year? Thank you for your reflections on the novel, but I wish they better reflected the depth to which we explored this text. THink bigger!
