It may or may not be due in part to my reaction to the book but oh well hahah! I'm glad you like my reviews - even when I dislike a book :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-56524407499621954812013-12-30T12:38:08.736-05:002013-12-30T12:38:08.736-05:00Haha!

That being said, i was super interested to see what you and Cass thought for some reason. Great review though Hannah, I love the way you write reviews, even when you dislike the book!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812554090848662429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-38940374069380993102013-12-20T20:09:52.775-05:002013-12-20T20:09:52.775-05:00I tried reading this along with you girls, but sad...I tried reading this along with you girls, but sadly, I had to stop because I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps I will read it again when I'm in more of the mood for it, but it certainly doesn't sound promising based on your review!

There were lots of parts that really dragged for me in the novel that didn't seem to match up with the engaging parts in the beginning, which was disappointing. And I didn't like the part that was set in Tahiti, either...you're right, it was kind of ridiculous. But I didn't really mind the sexual themes. I guess that I thought it made sense with the whole "botany" thing, and sexual self-discovery isn't really something I find covered a lot in historical fiction.
