But I've heard it's one of those that capture some and turn others off. Dearly, Departed was like that for me -- didn't love it while others raved.Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-32673334192076271412011-10-30T21:50:28.026-04:002011-10-30T21:50:28.026-04:00Bummer to hear this one wasn't as good as it&#...Bummer to hear this one wasn't as good as it's been sounding. I'm intrigued by language itself being a plot point (as I can't recall any main characters being translators in the books I've read/heard about). <br /><br />Thanks for the honest review!<br /><br /><br />Smiles!<br />LoriLoriStronginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764202539292045963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-55467677316447042342011-10-30T10:16:31.220-04:002011-10-30T10:16:31.220-04:00Oh no!

We totally understand having to put down a dense, overwhelming story, though.<br /><br />Thanks for writing such a thoughtful review! We love the cover and the premise so we'll definitely be reading this one, but it's good to know what to expect.We Heart YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418854853031344928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-87315686327253960282011-10-29T16:59:33.106-04:002011-10-29T16:59:33.106-04:00I have this one waiting for me to read it.

Like you, the reason I love The Body Finder series so much is because I connect with the characters (and love Jay, especially!). Nevertheless, I'm still definitely going to read it and am eagerly waiting for my pre-order to arrive next month!Sarah (Escaping Through Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00501648288171174906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-63981270196201000802011-10-29T13:18:43.468-04:002011-10-29T13:18:43.468-04:00Awwww.... *sad face* It's hard to like a book ...Awwww.... *sad face* It's hard to like a book that seems to try to accomplish too much and forsakes developing the characters more. I'm still very excited to read The Pledge, but I'll definitely keep what you said in your review in mind as well. Thanks, Ashley! :)Midnight Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066607315430568010noreply@blogger.com
