I've sent this off on the Great Australian Novel bookring. I didn't get a chance to read it :( There was always a bookray or a book requested by another BCer above it on my TBR pile.

I guess I can read it when it eventually comes back.

24/3/04 - I've read a couple of chapters but haven't enjoyed it and won't be finshing it (and I'm pretty sure it's not because I'm on antibiotics and have low tolerance to just about everything.. there's just too many other good books waiting!).

30/3/04 - Ravenbear's declined due to study at present and jawin's already read it and well quite frankly didn't like it....so PM sent to guinevere69.

31/3/04 - Guinevere69 has already read this one....PM sent to Fire-Dragon.

1/4/04 - No go with Fire-Dragon - has already read and is due to leave the country soon...PM sent to Ferns

2/4/04 - Yeah team - acceptance - to go to Ferns!!

Released on Friday, April 02, 2004 at book ring in Mailed to fellow bookcrosser, Postal Release Controlled Releases.

Off in the mail to Ferns as part of the GANBR - finally someone who wanted this book - hope you enjoy it!

Picked this book up from the PO on Saturday (Thanks! Georgie-Shaw) and I hope to have it back on the road in a week or ten days time.

Cary writes so well; very descriptive with such full characterisation. He certainly takes me into the characters' time and world and their minds and hearts. But how could things start off so well with characters who mean so well and then go so unremittantly wrong, wrong, wrong?!


I am mailing this off the Scism today.

Sorry everyone - I've been getting a bit behind with my reading in the last month or so. I've only read a few chapters of this, and didn't really get into it, so I'm going to post it on to Felicia-Fairy this week.

Finally making it's way to Felicia-Fairy today.

I am well aware of how many bookrings I have here at the moment. I found another copy of this at Lifeline for $2 on Saturday, so I have purchased it and will send this on, unread.
And one day.... one day.... will get to the other one!
