This one, well, it also sounds like a pass to me. I can imagine you, or other readers (as not to sound creepy) yelling at the book as if you were in a movie theater! Why? Why? Why?Samantha Véranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446488761214047647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-58522729172320572132010-09-25T08:15:23.606-05:002010-09-25T08:15:23.606-05:00Someone in my book group is reading this one...I&#...Someone in my book group is reading this one...I'll have to ask her how she liked it.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-78884747936084947792010-09-23T15:52:16.156-05:002010-09-23T15:52:16.156-05:00Brenna-

Not that I can give you back the 5 or 10 hours of your life you spent reading this book, but you should know that based on your comments I took a closer look at the Amazon reviews of the book (not the final arbiter of all that is good, but a pretty good general measure of things) and I too found the book lacking. So... based on your comments, and the Amazon reviews, I've removed the book from the list.<br /><br />I also took a closer look at the other books on the list -- I feel better about those books being 'flashlight worthy'. Sorry this lame read slipped through -- that list is from a librarian at the Smithsonian who has contributed dozens of list to the site -- she's generally pretty trustworthy when it comes to choosing books that are... Flashlight Worthy. ;-)<br /><br />Finally, as someone with excellent taste in book herself, drop me a line at info AT flashlightworthy DOT com if you're interested in contributing a list to Flashlight Worthy yourself.<br /><br />Peter<br />(The guy who runs Flashlight Worthy)<br />Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations<br />Recommending books so good, they'll keep you up past your bedtime. ;-)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415805009740816929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-34957883121217479272010-09-23T13:28:53.122-05:002010-09-23T13:28:53.122-05:00Yikes.

Seems like slapping a 'literary thriller' as the genre on books is becoming more and more popular these days - but rarely does it work well...Greg Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122230426442946518noreply@blogger.com
