Default My input!

Well everyone, I have to say that on the whole I enjoyed the book. If caring what happened to the main character and wanting to keep on reading is enjoying, then I did

I hated the last chapter,and I wish the character of Joseph wasn't there at all. That was all so strange and disturbing. I think the book would have been much better just concentrating on Roses 'gift'. It was a peculiar book, but I am not sorry that I read it, and I agree with Anne about the poetic element
I have spent quite a bit of time in the States and have American friends, so maybe the Americanism of the book wasn't so odd for me?

My vote would be for another 'paper' book btw. I spend too much time on the computer, I don't really want to read books here too!
