I'm now exactly in the middle of the book and I really like it very much - especially the description of characters and the style of writing. It's a pleasure to read. Fortunately the translation (I read in german) is very good says my brother who had read the original spanish version. (Jane Austen's books showed me how different translations can be!) And years ago I've visited Sevilla. Maybe that's one more reason why I find the book interesting.

There's supposed to be a third and it's kind of "set up" in this one. It's not quite as good but I really liked it and it's definitely worth reading. It's a BFB...great for the beach or pool. |

now that I'm about to be on summer break finally, I started reading The Host again. Only thing is I'm finding it hard to get past one chapter each night. I loved the Twilight series but am not loving this one. Maybe when I get to the middle of the book it will hit me and make me fall in love with it.
