Excellent

The Conch Bearer
Even from the start, it didn't capture me. I found myself skipping chunks and still not missing out on the base f the story. I found that it went on and on and 'waffled.' This book changed my mood-for the worst. I found myself irritable and angry-- not a good read, I don't recommend it.


Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Student from St.John Fine Arts

This book will capture your mind and give it a wicked, magical twist. The Indian Setting makes it more mysterious. Well Done Mrs. Divakaruni!!
