The first time I read it was about 8 years ago, and still vividly remember many scenes. I think there are 3 characters with the same name as the main character, Alexander MacDonald, but I do recall being a bit confused by this, and the change from present, to childhood, to historical reference the first read through. Definitely one of my favorites. Great review. I like the image of all these people that are related and share so much many physical characteristics, so much so, that the main character's sister's children are recognized as while walking down the street in Calgary.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-76260927167331238022010-01-06T08:58:01.155-05:002010-01-06T08:58:01.155-05:00This book is awful..worse book i've ever read ...This book is awful..worse book i've ever read in my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-36270523690382056842009-12-15T16:15:18.222-05:002009-12-15T16:15:18.222-05:00Its a great book!

Other than that, it's a good read.

Oh man, what on earth will I do if I win <I>all</I> these books?"). I haven't won one yet, so it's been a nice way for me to get rid of a few books, which is always good since I seem to always have plenty to spare overflowing my shelves! =)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-50704033985363212332007-10-09T22:22:00.000-04:002007-10-09T22:22:00.000-04:00Yeah, BookObsessed is well named.

I'm trying to pare down the sheer numbers of books -- mostly from the sweepstakes I won two years ago. Do you play in them?Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.com
