Sent today to pam99 in the UK- enjoy the book!
arrived today after its long paddle across the pond!! I was reading 'The Jane Austen Bookclub' but it's not really my thing so I think I will set it aside and start on this right away, looks good! Thank you Bunnybee!
Journal Entry 5 by pam99 from Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland United Kingdom on Thursday, January 27, 2005
A good read - perhaps not the sort of thing I'd usually read, but I enjoyed it. Mailing to flaming ice today.
Recieved this today. It took this book ages (three months?) to arrive here to Kuwait. Thanks pam99 :-) I'll hopefully read it within 2 weeks -before my finals start- and send it out to the next person :->
Just journaling to let you all guys know that the book is NOT stalled - it's been a while since I recieved the book so I thought you guys might be worried about the status of the book. At the beginning I didn't like the book, but after a while I started to like it. It is VERY slow-paced but also thrilling and scary. So scary. I'm on page 500 something, and have like 200 pages left but I won't be able to read much now that I have LOTS of school work to do. I'll give the book to AussieQ8 by next week -hopefully. Thanks, bunnybee, for letting me join this ring (and sorry for keeping it too long, really)
Thanks Flaming-ice for passing this on to me. Will read and send asap. :)
I really enjoyed this book!It was so thrilling and scary, especially so because it could happen to you! Thank you Hunnybee for sharing! Well worth the read! Will send on as soon as I recieve an address.:)

What fast delivery!!!
mailed today as I have kept this book far too long
Arrived with me today. I've got a couple ring/ray books ahead of it, so it'll probably be a couple weeks before I start on this one, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks! :)
This book started off kind of slow and I was tempted to put it aside a few times as I've got so many other TBR books piling up behind it. But I wanted to give it at least halfway, which is about 376 pages since this is a fairly long book. Fortunately, the action got going around page 200 and I was glad I kept reading. This book could've been half as long and been even better though... I found it going off on tangents quite often so that my mind would start to wander and I'd forget what I'd just read.
In the beginning some of the phobia characteristics experienced by the characters, one in particular, hit a little too close to home, and since I don't enjoy being reminded of my own shortcomings, I was getting discouraged with it, and again, almost another reason for me to put it aside. Until around page 200 when it started to become apparent that these phobias were implanted by a madman, then I felt better about that part. :)
Overall, a very odd book, which I had mixed feelings about, but actually liked it more than I disliked it. Thanks for sharing bunnybee!
I PMed s4ssyc4tw3ndy for her address on Saturday, before I'd finished this, but haven't heard back from her yet. I'll hang on to it a bit, and send another message mid- to late-week to allow for the usual summertime travels and busyness, and move on to jcoelho if I haven't heard from her after a couple weeks.
UPDATE 10/3/05: s4ssyc4tw3ndy asked to be skipped, so this is on it's way to jcoelho tomorrow (Oct 4, 2005) via International Economy Letter Post.

Finally, I got this book today in the mail. I've been looking forward in reading Dean Koontz's books. This will be my first one. Thanx Bunnybee. Merry Christmas everyone. Feliz Natal!!!
