This book was different than I though it would be. As humans, we change and learn to somethings are bigger than us.

Maybe not a 5 star from me because it was different from the books I have been reading. I have to admit once I started it I left the  book I was reading to complete this one. Yes I recommend it

This was very different than I anticipated.  I thought it would be more period of the 'beach music' on which I grew up but it was a very good book.

Kind of a different story I was thinking from this author she usually does mystery since. But this was kind of different thank you

Certainly not one of the best books I have read, but did keep me reading until the end. It was a bit different from what I usually read too.

I don't know if some of the dialogue in this book suffered when translated from Polish to English  but at times I thought the language was strange.  Also, the premise of a prosecutor joining forces with vigilantes somehow did not quite ring true to me. However, this book is certainly very different from American or even British crime procedurals.  It provides the reader with a new and different aspect of how, in some ways, crimes are investigated and solved in Poland.

This is a much different book than I thought it was going to be; that's not to say it was bad, it was just different. I was expecting something like a tale of forbidden m/m love, an affair carried out in secret and shadows and whispers in part due to its early 1900s setting in the hallowed halls of Yale. Instead, what we really have here is a tale of mystery and unworldliness with a touch of suspense. There are m/m...intentions is really the best word I can come up with...but the details aren't really expressed all that overtly or strongly; more like sly hints of 'soulmates' and possessiveness. (I'm trying not to be spoilerish, I really hate that in reviews!)

It ended a bit abruptly, I thought, and the unnamed decades-later epilogue, while giving some additional information, was also a bit vague and open-ended in some respects. I thought I was getting a wrap-up but on second thought, without reading it again, realized it didn't really give me as much information as I first thought. I would have liked a bit more closure in some respects, but I'm a little picky that way.

The idea of wrapping a story around an old vintage photo/painting is really intriguing, though, and the author did a good job of working into this story a scene that would tie to the photo used on the front (a larger/uncropped version of which is included in the Kindle version and presumably the print version as well).

Overall, this was an interesting read, just not one I can neatly peg into a specific box...and there's nothing wrong with that.

I only read this as it was one of the books assigned to my daughter to read over the summer.  It was a short book and she challenged me to read it. It was quite different than my usual selection of light romance books, but I did manage to finish it. There were quite a few descriptive words that are no longer used everyday which caused me to highlight the word and look it up on google- this got annoying at times.  I enjoyed how he described the countryside however and it was interesting to read about society norms in this time period. It's so different from the "anything goes" society we have today.  All that being said, would I have selected this book had it not been an assignment for my daughter? No I wouldn't have, but am I glad I read it? Yes, because we can discuss the book together, and we both learned from it. This was actually my first "historical" book and all in all it wasn't bad.

This was different from what I would usually read and I'm glad that I read it! It was a good read and I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us to read next!

I have several colored pencil books and I took a chance that this would be a little different so I was really surprised at how different it is. Very unique!
