The Eight

This is my second reading of The Eight by Katherine Neville. I previously read it a dozen years ago and thought I would give it another try in case I had missed something here. But I cannot tell a lie. I found it to be such a tedious read because I could not maintain interest in the storyline or the characters. I did add one more star to be fair as the author obviously spent a very long time in writing and researching The Eight. This is only one opinion and I realize that most would enjoy this book.

Ouch. One of my all time favourites for a lot of reasons I wrote about. I am making myself wait on the sequel by my bedside.

Thanks for the heads up. Great review!
Carole, this is the highest praise a review-writer can receive. Would you mind repeating it into my own review? I am not among those who receive abundant comments and each one means a lot to a writer.I have seen you among mutual friends for years and smile, when I see you are a fellow Canadian! I think the low star on a favourite or two of mine is the sole reason I didn't initiate. I missed out on how flexible and delightful you are! We ought to connect. :) My name is Carolyn, pronounced like your name + "Lyn".

If I don’t like a book I usually DNF it without a rating or review. Then I let the publisher know why. It seems more fair. So if I nix one of your favorites, feel free to convince me otherwise. I was sending this in a message but I see you do not receive messages. Talk soon, Carolyn.

Hahahaha I didn't notice it was 12 years ago Carole - and yes, indeed time does change our perceptions - usually 🙂

Take care.
