I'd love to hear why. Was it the creepy-ness factor? The way the characters were so all "un-moored"? Sometimes there's even more to discuss when you don't like a book!Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031417246761322757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539797535908826807.post-2902850272712162632008-10-27T13:40:00.000-05:002008-10-27T13:40:00.000-05:00Little Bee was certainly a hard act to follow!

There should be a word for that feeling you get when you reach the the end of a remarkable book like that: pleasure combined with loss and sheer panic (what could you possibly read next that could even compare?)

Sometimes when I'm the first one to read and love a book, I worry that I'll be the only one, but there is no one better at articulating what was great about a book than Margie. Dervishes is written so beautifully that I didn't want it to end, and that says a lot since I read it immediately after Little Bee, possibly the best book I've ever read!suekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06490820195478507655noreply@blogger.com
