There are a ton of MG reads that I want to get to, and though this one sounds intriguing, I think I'd rather spend the time reading other ones that are perhaps faster paced and shorter.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-29580610208708424722012-01-21T12:13:34.564-06:002012-01-21T12:13:34.564-06:00This one looks super interesting - I still am quit...This one looks super interesting - I still am quite curious about it.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702562351328503338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-91254191106750393282012-01-20T19:59:27.762-06:002012-01-20T19:59:27.762-06:00The cover looks so pretty!

Hopefully he'll improve his pacing too, it sounds a bit uneven from your review! I've heard really mixed things about Wildwood but like you, I'm curious because it's Colin Meloy. I'm going to try to give it a shot.elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098549352641704742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-55721855807711641122012-01-19T12:11:55.057-06:002012-01-19T12:11:55.057-06:00When reading already feels like a chore for childr...When reading already feels like a chore for children, I doubt many would pick up a 560 page book.

I can't even remember the last book I read that was that long. Usually page count doesn't matter if the pacing is well done, too bad this book made you feel ever one of those 560 pages, but kudos to you for making it all the way through!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-20236303426536026432012-01-19T09:49:43.359-06:002012-01-19T09:49:43.359-06:00I've this one around my library but I don'...I've this one around my library but I don't think it has been checked out much. The description sounds ok but I think the volume is a big hindrance and its slow pace.
