My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/327208326">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I liked the second half of this book much more than the first half, but I don't know that it saved the experience as a whole for me.  I found the beginning to be tedious both in topic and trying to track the various characters.  However, once the story picked up and got beyond the various gatherings of people, I did enjoy it.  I usually don't like flashbacks, but I felt that the flashback to look at Helen's development was very well handled and that was the point where I started to believe that I could make it through this book.  I am glad I read it, as it is another one off the 1001 Book List, but I don't believe that I would choose to read it again.

Not sure why the formatting provided by Goodreads isn't working anymore, so I apologize for the gobbledy gook.  I will do some research and hope to straighten it out.
