They usually end up being my favorite posts, probably because I tend to save them for favorite books (and I get to be goofy with them). :) Feel free to use the concept if you're ever stuck.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-79430761375856328772013-03-11T21:30:17.834-05:002013-03-11T21:30:17.834-05:00This one sounds quite interesting.

Had no idea what this one was about, and I didn't love Case Histories (although most people did), so I had not paid attention to reviews of Life After Life. Of course, I just skimmed your review and avoided spoilers so I can keep from knowing too much, too soon.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-72209080702620339252013-03-08T10:50:31.538-06:002013-03-08T10:50:31.538-06:00Jenny Girl,

It's definitely getting very positive reviews, apart from my own. <br /><br />OK, now, I'm just dying for you to read it so I can see what you think. This is one of the problems with reading before the publication date. You can't tell your friends to run out and buy, check out or borrow the book RIGHT NOW because it's not even on shelves, yet.

I read some of Atkinsons early work and felt rather meh about it but I think this and Case Histories (which I also haven't read yet) are quite different than the early ones I read.
