To be completely honest, I prefer the television series based on the books.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-12378224051677973212013-11-21T19:10:03.857-07:002013-11-21T19:10:03.857-07:00It just shows that individual taste is at play in ...It just shows that individual taste is at play in all of our reading preferences. I like this series, the characters, bakery, wit, Melbourne and the cats. I've read this one and the next book, and my only limitations in reading them are time and that there are too many books out there and I'm eager to sample different authors works, countries of settings, etc.<br /><br />Sorry you didn't like this book. I can't get into the Phrynne Fisher books, but am going to try as I got a friend the TV episodes on dvd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-29843719105685962062013-11-21T11:37:48.145-07:002013-11-21T11:37:48.145-07:00After I'd written my review, I went to Amazon ...After I'd written my review, I went to Amazon to see what others thought, and it does seem that people prefer one series or the other. I admire Greenwood for creating two very different series, and I do understand that the first book isn't always the one that hooks the reader. There's a lot I liked about this book, but unfortunately it just didn't grab me.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-88567188187489744802013-11-21T05:37:33.520-07:002013-11-21T05:37:33.520-07:00Cathy - I'm sorry to hear you didn't like ...Cathy - I'm sorry to hear you didn't like this one more than you did. I've found actually that a lot of people prefer one or the other of these series - they really are different. I happen to love the interactions among the people in Insula, and I love the wit in the stories. But I'll grant you it's a different sort of series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
