I recently tried the audiobook of Little Bee and -- well -- got through half of it and while I have the hard copy on my shelf, it's just not calling to me. It was so depressing! I mean. Blah. Which surprised me because everyone LOVED Little Bee until I read your thoughts. Good to know I should give this one a try then.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978371169108528359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-3714294499500196542012-08-27T20:16:22.441-04:002012-08-27T20:16:22.441-04:00I love it when a book strikes a chord within us su...I love it when a book strikes a chord within us such as this one obviously did with you! And, why is it so difficiult to find such a book? It's interesting that you didn't like <i>Little Bee</i> (a book I didn't love, but won't ever forget), and yet this one you were crazy about. Perhaps it's the topic? I know that I like cycling, and I loved watching the Olympics...counting calories? Not so much. ;) Anyway, I own it so I better read it soon!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-21699781831074947972012-08-27T12:39:15.420-04:002012-08-27T12:39:15.420-04:00bermudaonion, from what I've heard, if you lik...bermudaonion, from what I've heard, if you liked Little Bee, then you will love Gold.

And, I know what you mean - I'm not a huge sports fan either, but after reading this book and watching the Olympics this year, I've really come to respect the training and sacrifice that these amazing athletes endure. Anyhow, hope you enjoy the book - it truly is a great read!Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-29384131440025044832012-08-21T10:28:01.333-04:002012-08-21T10:28:01.333-04:00Okay, I had no real interest in this book prior to...Okay, I had no real interest in this book prior to your review but you made it sound really good. <br /><br />I've never been into sports but now that the boy has joined cross country, I've come to appreciate the training, the meal plans, etc. Every day missed affects him and every meal indulged in shows up on the track. Not literally. That would be gross.
