But then, I'm one of the only people in the world that didn't love Shadow of the Wind.

I'll say that I don't remember everything now and did have an issue with the whole narrator-has-a-twin-thing that was never fully developed.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-47805960118441848002012-11-14T09:16:11.290-06:002012-11-14T09:16:11.290-06:00I read this last year and was very underwhelmed as...I read this last year and was very underwhelmed as well.

I haven't either ;) I might pick it up one day. Or maybe not. There are so many books out there and I like my socks to be knocked off...not just slightly tugged at.

I think I'll still read it eventually, but I'll probably get it from the library.
