I agree that I don't like any stickers/ movie tie-ins either. <BR/><BR/>Sabine, yes, the cover is great. The gold detailing doesn't show up on the picture on my post but it was really nice.

I'd like to read this one because I love the 18C, but I haven't gotten around to it yet because I've seen a few mixed reviews like yours, and that dampens my interest somewhat. Too bad. I may still read it anyway -- we'll see.Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36420311.post-82760353780598343962009-01-22T18:23:00.000+11:002009-01-22T18:23:00.000+11:00That was a really luscious cover, though.

Did yours come with the removable mask, too? <BR/><BR/>I would totally second your review of the novel - it's interesting, the period detail is great, but it does not live up to its promise nor, I suspect, to the author's ambition. A bit of a shame, really. However, I thought the, um, more romantic scenes were really rather good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36420311.post-63250520250853510822009-01-22T16:20:00.000+11:002009-01-22T16:20:00.000+11:00I saw that episode of the First Tuesday Book Club,...I saw that episode of the First Tuesday Book Club, and like yourself thought Sophie Gee was intelligent and interesting.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear her novel was disappointing, I<BR/>d still like to try it though one of these days.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I am a snob in that I don't like books with movie tie covers, Women's Weekly or Oprah stickers etc. And they're so bloody hard to remove!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
