A little repetitive in parts, but very interesting.

Wow...did NOT see that coming!!!

Almost ashamed at how quickly I read this.

It was a very quick read, and a sad but accurate commentary on humanity. I don't know how much I buy the uber-articulate children.

It had been a very long time since I had read any Updike, and an even longer time since I had seen this movie. I did not remember how dense the writing would be. The story itself was interesting enough, as I vaguely remembered from the film, but I feel I probably missed a lot of things on my first read-through. I did like how very New England the book was, and I don't know how well that would translate to non-native readers.

Interesting, eerily relevant despite the huge amount of time the book covers. Repetitive but what does one expect from a collection of one man's writings?

Harder for me than his other book, but still a very interesting way to learn about the history of chemistry and physics.

This book was charming, magical, innocent, sad, and joyous. I read it over the course of...six? Seven hours? Although not consecutively.

We all love Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, but their saccharin relationship in this book was hard to swallow. I figured out the big surprise rather later than most would have, and wish the author had given some Austen-based evidence for her decision.

Rees occasionally slipped into a modern, informal style of speech that seemed out of place with the time period. The narrator, Mozart's sister, could have used a little more subtlety. Still an enjoyable mystery.
