Review: Fascinating
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book interested me initially because of the supernatural element combined with herbal/southern mountain elements. Turned out to be very different than I expected (though I can't really say exactly what I expected). Not my usual type of book, more emotion, less action but the storyline held my interest. Even while I was thinking 'do something!' I couldn't put it down. There were times I would shrug mentally and think "enough". Five minutes later I'd have to pick it up again.The writing is often lyrical, with elegant language and a feel of timelessness. Many scenes were dreamlike, introspective and many things, including the animals, were not quite what they seemed.I found the rating difficult. Though it really isn't my 'type' of book at all it fascinated me. While I can't say that I will be likely to re-read it, I truly could not put it down and I gave it a 4-star rating for that reason.
