That's why reading is such a personal experience I guess.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-57986123553049034432014-08-19T05:37:43.484+10:002014-08-19T05:37:43.484+10:00I loved reading your review, I can't imagine t...I loved reading your review, I can't imagine trying the book and now, I think I can safely say, 'pass'. Did you know it looks like Australia is going to be home to the next 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea remake? At one point David Fincher was going to direct but I think he's out. Apparently they're gearing up to start filming in 2015. Maybe we'll all enjoy the film better than you did the book???Sim Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07069681571808073102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-23279301702436878212014-08-19T03:07:17.986+10:002014-08-19T03:07:17.986+10:00I remember trying to read this novel when I was a ...I remember trying to read this novel when I was a child and not getting very far. I didn't remember why, however. Now, having read your review, I wonder if I didn't become bored early. Pages of catalogs of fish?

Funny thing is I have toured the church and do not remember the clam being mentioned---no the tour did not focus on the Da Vinci Code either. <br /><br />PS the strawberry mousse was long before I would snap shots of food-but it was delicious.Esmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558695355351437784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-16377646226244095952014-08-18T23:42:25.937+10:002014-08-18T23:42:25.937+10:00Great detail on the clam shell.

I wish I'd noticed the shells, but it was all geared more to Dan Brown than Verne!skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.com
