I agree with many of your observations, however, I ultimately became disenchanted with her very lengthy sentences and detailed descriptions. Even so, I read to the end which I found quite satisfying.

Not sure it's my #1 favorite for the year, but it comes close. She doesn't weigh the novel down with too much scientific discussion but weaves it in carefully and made me interested enough to read more about the topics on my own.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-15871328933704886892013-11-09T14:27:34.515-06:002013-11-09T14:27:34.515-06:00I had no idea this was a work of fiction!

I'm not sure this is something I'd enjoy, but your review does have me tempted to give it a try.
