It took me three days to get through the prologue of Skeletons at the Feast and I was ready to give up – several times. (Really troubling for me since I am a Chris Bohjalian fan.) TW heard me griping about how SLOWWWWWWWW and BORINGGGGGGGGG it was, grabbed the book out of my hand and said “Oh that was really good, keep reading.” So I did.
And it was.
I was either really really tired (probably) or the prologue was just a little slow (ok a lot slow) but sticking with it was worth it. I’ve even taken back my vow to never read another Nazi Germany book again (which is what I kept saying during the prologue.)
Good characters. Bohjalian writes solid women characters and I like that and the guys weren’t too shabby either. Nice little ending, too.
