Not sure when I started this book but I finished it tonight.
I enjoyed reading of the history of the women in the family, through the generations.

I received this book due to the fame and recognition I have received for my participation in The Lost book. For further details please goto www(dot)thelostbook(dot)net.
It is always nice to bring joy to a fan, which the acknowlegement from me to a token of their appreciation can bring.
Thank you for the book. I won't forget the little people on my way to the top.

Overall a good book, with my interest held most of the time. I enjoyed the way the main character Connie seemed to accept that things happened that she just wouldn't understand. The flashbacks to Mrs Sprys life and Rosie as a student were the most well written.
At times the authors hook of stating that all the women were murderers got a bit much, as was the authors idea of holding the readers attention by having characters running around saying - wow, I've just found out something that is really important, and then NEVER revealing it. By page 130 that just got boring and annoying (like a mosquito buzzing about or a small child demanding attention).

Wow, this book had a long journey already!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to read a book of another author from New Zealand. They are very rare in Germany.
Hope to meet you again one day, KiwiinEngland! :-)

I had to stay at hospital for a while and took some of the books with me, which waited for quite a long time on my shelf. Bloom was one of it and I really tried to continue reading again and again but in the end I failed. The story wasn't bad at all in the beginning, later on I couldn't keep my attention on the text and my thoughts drifted away and away...
I managed to read the first third of Bloom and then I lost the interest in the story - sorry to say so.
The book won't be released into the wild and I hope to find an interested reader at one of the oncoming meet-ups.

queball came by with Pitaks Multi-Kulti Box - this book is continuing its journey now.
I found that book in "Pitaks Multi Kulti Box" and I think it will be interesting.

Got this well travelled book today. Looks interesting.
It's always interesting the way I tend to pick up a random book from MtTBR. and it sort of fits in with the rest of my life. I had just finished teaching about New Zealand and Maoris when I started this book, so words like a full moko and kia ora were already part of my vocabulary.
I quite enjoyed the book, I liked the characters, and how they got on wiht life. I'm a bit unsure of where the auther actually wanted to go with this book? But do I care? Not really, as I enjoyed some hours on NZ.
The book will travel very soon, as it will be part of a project to try to make a bookcrosser.

A little something to welcome you into the wonderful world of bookcrossing.
Thanks for the book!
