I thought it was a very well written and thought provoking read, it's just that the thoughts I had while reading it weren't always that pleasant! Aarti and I read and reviewed this one together. I am glad that you liked it!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-51927439932960490912011-08-24T09:49:05.025-04:002011-08-24T09:49:05.025-04:00Wow, I'm not sure I'm smart enough for thi...Wow, I'm not sure I'm smart enough for this book.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-72235297921955434392011-08-24T05:44:05.679-04:002011-08-24T05:44:05.679-04:00interesting review, Marie.

Sounds like one I should read, though. Yours is the first review I've read of The Bone People and it puts my mind at ease a bit, that I may emerge from the novel with some idea of what went on in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
