They deserved to be more fleshed out (maybe in the others in the series?). There was one of the sisters (forgot her name), who reminded me of Mary in Pride & Prejudice and of which I'd like to know more about.Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-66882358382683718602011-07-28T23:18:28.190-07:002011-07-28T23:18:28.190-07:00Amy-- However, every once in a while she was a bit...Amy-- However, every once in a while she was a bit too over the top for me.<br /><br />Margot-- I'm just not sure I found it enjoyable enough to try more in the series. We'll see!<br /><br />Bernadette-- For some reason, I think I'd give this one a miss if I were you. I'm having a psychic moment.<br /><br />Pepper-- Yes! Something put me off and I just can't pin it down!<br /><br />Alyce-- If it's a tried and true author of mine, I'll read it regardless of the hype. But for new-to-me authors I have to admit to waiting until the hubbub dies down. While I'm waiting, my expectations decrease as well.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-25190680402590363862011-07-28T20:44:50.242-07:002011-07-28T20:44:50.242-07:00That's the whole reason why I haven't pick...That's the whole reason why I haven't picked this one up too.

I enjoyed it, but there was something about it that put me off, and I've never been able to put my finger on precisely what it was. I've read the second one and had the same reaction. Not sure if I'll bother getting the third one.Pepper Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088936125225559789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-27365242002849768772011-07-28T17:02:28.682-07:002011-07-28T17:02:28.682-07:00Like you Cathy I've been put off by all the hy...Like you Cathy I've been put off by all the hype surrounding this one, and I'm still not entirely convinced. I have it as a possible download on my audiobook queue but other books seem to find their way ahead of it whenever it's time for me to select a new listen. I'm still not entirely sure it's for me...maybeBernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-50030787273889428182011-07-28T14:53:26.252-07:002011-07-28T14:53:26.252-07:00Cathy - I'm very glad that you liked it, even ...Cathy - I'm very glad that you liked it, even if you didn't completely fall in love with Flavia. I thought it was very funny, too. I have to say I liked the novel better than you did, but I'm glad that you found it enjoyable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-58493609567305589462011-07-28T14:45:15.809-07:002011-07-28T14:45:15.809-07:00So glad to see that you liked this one, definitely...So glad to see that you liked this one, definitely a great way to spend an afternoon.
