I so sympathize because I have my own leaning tower but this sounds like an amazing book.

The Breach. Makes me want to read it even without the glowing endorsement. Another for my Leaning Tower of TBR. :)<br /><br />And yes, I love a good plot twist that you never see coming...especially one that, on the second read, you discover all the hints and foreshadowing but it still took you totally by surprise.L.

If you have a strong desire to complete lose a weekend read this. I read it then beat land speed records shoving the book into my 16yr old son's face to make him read it so I could have someone to discuss it with. He loved it too. Lee does the whole whirly, tense action a minute and then smacks you with a gotcha that, I kid you not, he set up in the first few pages. Its a great read with a better ending than Knowing. Of course it is, he's repped by the Shark. lol.Leslie Dowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070832643933680500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-79726770679425331862010-06-04T09:28:42.785-07:002010-06-04T09:28:42.785-07:00Jaleta, so true!

It's difficult to work a good one but when it works, it's very rewarding!<br /><br />I haven't checked out the Tad Williams trilogy yet but I'm dashing over to add it to my wishlist/to buy shelf. Thanks for the mention!<br /><br />Well said, Sharon!Rae Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401577264246893702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-39434336744623622372010-06-04T09:22:36.262-07:002010-06-04T09:22:36.262-07:00I so agree that it's the characters and their ...I so agree that it's the characters and their personal journeys that lock that story into your brain. Clearly I didn't read A Wrinkle in Time seven times as a kid for the plot, or I would have gotten bored after a time or two and moved on. As both a reader and writer, if I don't feel connected to the characters I never feel immersed in the story. <br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />@JALETA, I haven't thought of those books in YEARS. I loved them so much I wrote Tad Williams a letter (and he wrote back!).Sharon Lynn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886205665048406062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-57987761552707961432010-06-04T08:52:11.987-07:002010-06-04T08:52:11.987-07:00I love a good "Gotcha" moment, too.
