Caucaia

My first thoughts on Caucasia. Well, for starters it is definitely a very different book from anything that I have ever really read. Usually I read mystery/thrillers, so yeah it's different. I do like it though. I think that it is very well put together and as a lot of insight on certain things.

I also think that even though it isn't a fast paced read it still leaves enough answers unquestioned to make you want to keep reading.

I think that it is a little easier for me to relate to and kind of know where some things are coming from because it has two sisters in it. So, because I have some sisters too some things make more sense to me and I an able to relate to somethings that other people may not be able to. So, that may be part of the reason why this book holds me interested to it.

I like how you mention the sibling connection as being important in drawing you into the novel. Finding bits of our selves in the books we read is always a good feeling. I think the end of the book, in particular, will have some resonance with you..

I agree with you that it isn't fast paced at first. Also I totally agree with you about all the unanswered questions because now I'm a little sucked in to see what is going to happen.

It definitely is not a fast paced book at all; however, I do think at times it picks up slightly. Usually, these parts are uber-sketchy though like the part where Birdie/Jesse is with Nicholas on his bed... <.<

Otherwise, I can also see how you could relate to this book on a sister aspect. It was neat of you to point that out in your blog post.

I agree with you. I also find this book to be interesting. I also relate to the book. I have one younger sister sibling and an older half sister. And I find myself being able to connect to other bits and pieces of the book. I agree with Mr. Kunkle's comment in the fact that being able to connect to the book, does help one to become more drawn to it.
Good Post!
