Just finished Anthony Doerr's novel, for our book group. It is wonderful. One of the few books I could read again, if only to know those people in it again. It's quite long, but with very short chapters, and once you begin, you just want to keep on reading.....

AnyFucker - I also recently enjoyed His Bloody Project which was a Booker shortlist novel.

Does anybody who loved this book have any other recommendations ? Need some holiday reading.

Good book, once it gets going. Very cleverly structured.

Thought the ending might disappoint but for me, it didn't, in many ways it seemed right. Can't say more without giving away spoilers!

I loved it until the ending, which I was v disappointed with. With a better ending it would be in my top 5 so far this year, for fiction.

Ooh I loved this. So moving.

Darwin it definitely took me a bit of time to get into it too.

Have started this 3 times, just can't get into it. Did anyone else think it was slow to start? Maybe I should try again....
