I don't like to already know what's going to happen (or be reminded as it goes along), and there are just too many new-to-me books that I want to get to.

That's a..."This novel lacked oomph." That's a good way to put it. I thought it was a very introspective story into the minds of Gamache, Jean-Guy, the monks, and the monastery. I liked it a lot, but spent the first hundred pages missing all the other characters. Not my favorite of the series but I felt such turmoil about how these men were going to react in regards to their intense feelings.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-42937712500300657532012-10-14T09:08:59.605-04:002012-10-14T09:08:59.605-04:00I want to try more of this series, so I've dow...I want to try more of this series, so I've downloaded Still Pines to my Nano so I can give it a "reread" before moving forward.
