I loved this book, which I hadn't read any reviews for but, a book that was highly praised and raved about that I couldn't wait to read was: The G. Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I thought it was going to be awesome from all the talk but, while I enjoyed it I was left wondering what all they hype was really about.

Book hype tends to work against enjoyment of a book in my experience. Perhaps because we each have unique criteria for a "superb" book? Whatever the reason, I think it's good to have a spectrum of opinions on a book. I read enough blogs to know who has tastes similar to mine and I suspect other blog readers are the same. I'm glad you reviewed the book! <abbr><em>Michele’s last blog post..<a href="http://readersrespite.blogspot.com/2009/05/review-columbine.html" rel="nofollow">Review: Columbine</a></abbr></em> Lovely review and so thorough.
