"Enjoy" is not really the right word for this one but it was riveting reading.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-51346305246881448072017-03-26T12:12:12.790-05:002017-03-26T12:12:12.790-05:00I must admit I have never made it through Moby Dic...I must admit I have never made it through Moby Dick. Someday, maybe after I read Ahab's Wife. I also am not into gore. I hide my eyes in the gory parts of movies; I could never be a nurse, let alone a doctor.

But it is indeed gory and a difficult (for me) read for that reason.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-25657972123697560692017-03-24T18:03:39.477-05:002017-03-24T18:03:39.477-05:00Wow, the gore doesn't attract me one bit, but ...Wow, the gore doesn't attract me one bit, but this novel seems to go hand in hand with Minds of Winter, which I read and reviewed earlier this month. Perhaps I may give this one a try. Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.com
