I'm glad you gave them a shoutout, though. I tried to read CHIME and found it slow going. Definitely beautiful and haunting, but not really my thing, I guess.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618668989233112126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726665.post-58840074104570809512012-01-06T19:46:54.004-07:002012-01-06T19:46:54.004-07:00That certainly seems to be the case, Amy.

She's the kind of person who'd be tough to get along with in real life, so I think if you don't like her as a main character, the book doesn't work. We spend the entire time in her head.<br /><br />Me, I'm a little odd. I like the prickly ones.Bibliovorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642058689885973447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726665.post-31628624727167924892012-01-06T19:32:16.081-07:002012-01-06T19:32:16.081-07:00Someone told me people either loved or hated Chime...Someone told me people either loved or hated Chime.
