 More Pleasure December 30, 2008
How fun to continue the saga of Father Tim. A whole new cast of characters is introduced with slight references to the old familiar ones from Mitford and brief update on Dooley & Lace.
 Causes Wrinkles December 21, 2008
Mitford series made me smile while I read and when I put them down. This book made me frown. I think I have a new wrinkle because of it.
 Much too long. Could have been said in half the number of pages November 30, 2008
Very disappointed in this book. I have been a Karon fan since her first book and think this is the first time I
almost didn't finish the book. The last part was ok but much too much dialogue that was not interesting enough
to hold my interest for very long. I think it is time to go back to Mitford where the people are interesting and
sometimes funny but seem true to life. Guess I will have to end my review by saying 'BORING' for the most
part.

Disappointing November 19, 2008
I loved the first four Mitford series books. However, I have to believe that this book is written by a different author. The writing style is amateur and difficult to follow. I found this book to be extremely aggravating. I was constantly trying to figure out who was speaking in the dialog and who was who. For example, there are TWO Peggys. Couldn't the author have simplified things by creating a different name? Flashbacks are poorly delineated leaving the reader to sort out orientation in time. Finally, the constant attempt at writing dialog in a dialect is tiring and poorly executed. I was so irritated by the book, that I was compelled to write this review; and I never take the time to write a review. I'd be very surprised if this is truly Jan Karon's work. Usually her writing is clear and inviting. This one missed by a long shot.
