The author\'s prologue was very original and intriguing, and his asides throughout the book were clever, although a bit tiring, too, at some points.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Princess Bride 2mo
The Princess Brideeeclayton I didn\'t enjoy this one too much. The set-up felt far-fetched, and the first half of the book was rather boring. The second half (and especially the final chapters) had some unexpected twists that kept me guessing, but overall I\'m just glad I\'ve finished it.Cards on the Table (Poirot) 2mo
Cards on the Table (Poirot)eeclayton It was a fascinating book about women\'s lives and relationships in 19th century China. Many aspects were compelling and devastating at the same time (footbinding, family hierarchy, a wife\'s duties), and it was interesting to see how women tried to cope.Snow Flower and the Secret Fan 2mo

Librarybelle Great choices! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks The Princess Bride is one of the rare occasions where I prefer the movie to the book, but reading the book does give more background information/depth to the movie\'s story as well. I feel like when I read Cards on the Table I had to spend time looking up the rules of Bridge just to understand what was happening 😂 2mo
eeclayton @Librarybelle thanks 🙂 2mo
eeclayton @TheAromaofBooks I\'ve never seen The Princess Bride movie, I\'ll put it on my to-be-seen list! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks It\'s a bit of a cult classic... I\'ve been watching it long enough that my parents would skip over the Fire Swamp and Pit of Despair scenes because they thought I was too young to watch those bits 😂 If you even kind of enjoyed the book, I think you\'ll really like the movie. 2mo
