Price.

I’m sorry, but I read the novel two years ago and have no idea. I’m sure you’ll recognize it when you see it. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did!

There is A LOT going on in this novel and for some it might not work. I love full immersion in another world so I enjoyed it but even I thought it was a bit long.

I’ve read a few neutral reviews of this one. Having read yours here, I think those others probably misses the point(s) of the novel. I will definitely read this one!

I may even run out to a bookstore today to buy it. That says a lot as it is raining out and i have a terrible cold.

But as a whole, I enjoyed it tremendously. Boris is one of the best characters I’ve encountered in ages and ages.

If I had one complaint (it wouldn’t be the length because I like Donna Tartt’s writing so much), it would be that I wanted to see more of Pippa. I didn’t love her as a parallel to the painting — it would have been better if she’d been fleshed out more.
