However, I can't remember all the details now but I think the solution to the mystery did not in the end hang together properly - so in that sense it was not great for me but I did like those hippy retrospectives!Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-65964713102716401642011-10-07T08:31:59.558-06:002011-10-07T08:31:59.558-06:00Teena: Thanks for commenting.

You make an interesting point that unlikeable characters can really affect whether a reader becomes absorbed in a novel. I hope you'll find "V" more engaging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
