I wrote my review before my blogging days, but maybe that's a good reason for a re-read. I'd love to write a review for it!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-70712487289632850372009-02-06T09:40:00.000-04:002009-02-06T09:40:00.000-04:00I tried reading this last year and didn't get past...I tried reading this last year and didn't get past the first few pages, maybe I just wasn't in the mood.

I didn't expect to like it when I picked it up, but more than a lot of other books I've read, "Bel Canto" has really stuck with me over the years. This book gets such mixed reviews so I'm really happy to hear you liked it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-56252672634795382192009-02-02T04:22:00.000-04:002009-02-02T04:22:00.000-04:00I read this awhile ago and really enjoyed it.

The pacing was off for me. Something would just begin to happen in the story and then she would then go off on different tangents. Having said that I can remember quite a few things that happened in it. I remember particularly not liking the last chapter/epilogue.<BR/><BR/>I was a bit disappointed I guess, having had such high expectations for it.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-1937100024625965972009-01-31T10:31:00.000-04:002009-01-31T10:31:00.000-04:00This really has gotten great reviews.

I remember liking it at the time. Maybe I need to recheck it out. Thanks for the reminder. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.com
