It will tell you a lot about him.<br /><br />Stef, The Likeness is best saved for some rainy day when you have absolutely no other obligations, because once you sit down with it, you won't want to stop reading until you're done.<br /><br />Carrie, I know people who hated the Clarke, so if you're shying away from it, maybe you're better off listening to your own instincts than to me.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-14289886934905344602011-07-15T18:12:59.680-04:002011-07-15T18:12:59.680-04:00Daughter of Time is one of my all time favorites, ...Daughter of Time is one of my all time favorites, along with E Nesbitt's books.

I gave it to my son as a present several years ago, but I'm not sure that he ever read it. Perhaps I need to see if it is still lying on a bookself somewhere around the house. In May he moved his bookcases and most of his books, which made me sad because it was one of those tangible reminders that he is now an adult -- but glad that they meant that much to him.Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-26495755555089095652011-07-13T14:03:49.185-04:002011-07-13T14:03:49.185-04:00I am glad I have already put several of those book...I am glad I have already put several of those books on my TBR list!

The Conroy sounds intriguing as well. I liked Edgar Sawtelle, but ... we'll just have to disagree on that one!Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.com
