I third that point...

You can read the previous two posts about The Heretic's Daughter and probably guess what I have to say about it, so I won't be redundant. Mediocre plot, decent narrative, intriguing setting... so on and so forth.

I know. How lame, right? I can't even sit down and give it a real "review". But, having felt like *I* was in a Salem prison at the end (that just went on and on and on... and grossed me out a little... I guess it was suppose to?), I was grateful to finally finish the book and move on.

Just started The Sharper Your Knife. I was proud of myself that I already knew one of Chef's "secrets". Not that it's a secret, necessarily, but if they teach it at Le Cordon Bleu, well... I'm proud to say I already knew that you can peel garlic by smashing it with the flat side of a chefs knife. Yay for me.

Carlin.... Perfectly put!! Who wants to spend time in a Salem prison?? If one has a good imagination they can get too into a setting. As a writer, I think you have to take that into account and give your readers some breaks. Linda
