This was terrible. I cannot think of one positive thing to say about this book. I'm stunned at how well received it has been. The twist was not a twist. The misogyny running through this book was almost unbelievable. I have no idea why I finished it.

I have nothing good to say about this book. The ending did not satisfy, just condoned horrific/abusive behavior.
Two stars only because I was compelled to finish the book.

This one kinda creeps up on you. Excellent read. I have a feeling I'll remember this one for a long while.

:(

Excellent!!

Did NOT enjoy this book. Not at all.

Excellent.

A re-read of a favorite.

Just never got interested.

This was pretty cute - somewhat predictable, but enjoyable.

Wow. I am sure I'll have a better ability to talk about this book in a few days. Right now, I cannot do it justice.

Excellent - should be required reading for everyone. Need to make a mental note to reread this on a regular basis.

Not sure how I felt about this book. Definitely won't read it again, and I read so many books for a second (third, fourth ...) time. This was interesting but extremely unsettling and violent. Glad I read it, but very happy to be finished.

I really enjoyed this story - looking forward to reading more of her writing.

Don't really have appropriate words. Just read this one.

I really enjoyed this book – well-told stories, interesting people, and excellent perspective.

Surprisingly good and thought provoking book. Really enjoyed it.

Was okay - seriously sexist attitudes run through out the book. I finished it, but I don't remember it well at all. Disappointing.

Started out pretty good, but so many errors/typos. Don't remember the book well at all (never a good sign).

Loved it!
At first I was a little tentative... one of my favorite things about Hugh's writing is the way he writes amazing female characters (strong, independent, believable, excellent point of view). When I started reading this story, I thought “damn, it is about a really annoying man...“
I finished it anyway, and what a pleasant surprise! Great story. I will be thinking about this one for a long time. I'll probably have to read it again soon just to see if I missed anything.

Again... some minor issues... but I liked the characters and the story.
I really must wonder, though... what exactly is meant by biologist and botanist in this book? Seems like one of a few glaring issues.
Finished the book in short order, though :)

I may have had some minor problems with this book... but I really liked the characters and the story was really compelling... so 4 stars!

2.5... I wanted to like it.
The main character could have been great... but things just moved so quickly that nothing fully developed. I liked the “idea” of this book... but the execution was lacking.

This book tackles some really difficult issues and does so very well... and I love that. I may have some minor issues with the book when I reread it (and I will, of course), but overall, this was a great one.

I have NEVER laughed this hard and this often when reading any book - ever! Tears running down my face, and literally ending up in coughing fits of laughter...

I read it slowly (on purpose) so that I would be forced to enjoy a little bit of it each day.
