Even though I had read the book, I'd forgotten a lot of details, so the suspense element was just right. I know I'll watch it again when it comes out on dvd since my husband will probably want to see it. <br /><br />I have the ARC of Nora Webster and am anxious to start in on it. I've recently started a Jojo Moyes' book (The Last Letter from Your Lover) and it hasn't grabbed my attention, so I may get to Toibin's book sooner than later!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-52398787223425601182014-10-21T06:57:32.808-04:002014-10-21T06:57:32.808-04:00Yes, I just mentioned that --everyone was riveted ...Yes, I just mentioned that --everyone was riveted to their seats.
