I was happily reading, thoroughly enjoying myself, when the book jumped from p.194 to p.225 with nothing in between. It must have been misbound.<br /><br />I'm so frustrated, as I really want to know what happens next, but not only is it a library book, but I'm in New Zealand. So if there second copy is also misbound (I'll be ringing tomorrow to ask them to check) goodness knows how long it will take for me to get my hands on another copy.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829070558793881064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195356832263192713.post-82954524599509196062009-08-08T14:34:11.079-04:002009-08-08T14:34:11.079-04:00I really enjoyed your review Tia.

The thinking is that if DVDs were available when movies released on the big screen, no one would go to the theater. Publishers have come to the same conclusion. They want to give the hardcover a chance to succeed before releasing the ebook.<br /><br />I was actually surprised when publishers went along with Amazon's scheme to release ten dollar ebooks with each hardcover release. It is my guess that the publishers saw an impact on their bottom line, and that influenced this decision.<br /><br />However, the customer will always react negatively when you take something away from him. So this whole thing was poorly planned, from my point of view.Tia Nevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489109929908389257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195356832263192713.post-15839283214405182612009-07-24T19:21:55.526-04:002009-07-24T19:21:55.526-04:00Pauline, I couldn't agree more!Pauline, I couldn't agree more!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829070558793881064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195356832263192713.post-10996398482302658022009-07-24T18:40:01.360-04:002009-07-24T18:40:01.360-04:00How can Tor's SF novels NOT be out in ebook???...How can Tor's SF novels NOT be out in ebook????

The romance would be a subplot, because there is a greater overarching plot concerning enemy aliens (the invading army from the blurb) that I didn't even include in my review.

I really hope a lot of them take a chance on this trilogy. Very character driven and ultra romantic.<br /><br />I had the pleasure of reading TSBY a few months ago and it knocked my socks off. The time travel element really provided a lot of emotional tension. I've never rooted so much for a couple to get (back) together.<br /><br />And I really loved the part when Jodenny lands in Australia. OMG that was great. <br /><br />I don't think I've seen BACK TO THE FUTURE as many times as you, Tia, lol, but I've seen it a lot. That trilogy is loads of fun, too.Heather Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913459109753829391noreply@blogger.com
