I thought the romance that was in there was junior-highish whiney, from the princess anyway--I personally would have preferred no romance at all to that. The novel was interesting but predictable. The prince's character was just a little too good to be believable (did he have any character flaws?), and the whole thing seemed based loosely on Islam, Buddhism, etc and just seemed too borrowed for my tastes. Just my opinion.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577797801455966552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584999211257461338.post-36084886505045994662007-12-12T11:31:00.000-08:002007-12-12T11:31:00.000-08:00Honey--periodically you get to do more than sleep....Honey--periodically you get to do more than sleep. ;)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301232211779225287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584999211257461338.post-74864618074318854102007-12-11T20:55:00.000-08:002007-12-11T20:55:00.000-08:00Gosh, I hope I didn't sound ornery- I wasn't tryin...Gosh, I hope I didn't sound ornery- I wasn't trying to. That's one of the challenging things about writing- the smaller your vocabulary is, the more likely you are to be misunderstood.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the trouble with posting more often to this blog is that I have to have something to post about. Elantris, TNOTW, and TCOH are the only novels I've read in the past six months. If I had more time, I'd read more books and watch more movies and tell the world all about them. Instead, I spend most of my time either at work, driving to work, or sleeping so I can stay awake at work. I'm not bitter about that, it's just the way things are right now.Timothy Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02950732236160052955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584999211257461338.post-19757862639655936812007-12-10T19:30:00.000-08:002007-12-10T19:30:00.000-08:00Tim, you sound so onery.

And just from my point of view, your wife and I have never had similar tastes on books and she's always liked more mushy stuff. Blah. So her female/male book theory is squashed. You should tell her I said so. :)Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577797801455966552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584999211257461338.post-78883155605875014252007-12-07T08:24:00.000-08:002007-12-07T08:24:00.000-08:00Wouldn't it be nice if we had all the time we need...Wouldn't it be nice if we had all the time we needed to do all the things we wanted?Timothy Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02950732236160052955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584999211257461338.post-12367004990855266242007-11-30T18:26:00.000-08:002007-11-30T18:26:00.000-08:00These are great reviews, you should post more ofte...These are great reviews, you should post more often!Flip Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704311610420242618noreply@blogger.com
