This book intricately weaved several stories into one. One part was Ellie's - her past, her present, her failures, her successes. Her character reminds me a little bit of myself: an avid reader with a love for coffee (in the book she's a cupper, she travels the world to find new coffees, something I...

Good read, but kind of sad.

I really enjoyed this book. It really flowed from start to finish. I usually find myself making up possible endings about halfway through a book like this but not with this one. I found I just wanted to hear the story. I wanted to know who did it but that seemed to lose importance at the end.I loved...

Jakoś nie bardzo mnie wciągnęła. Napisana trochę "topornie", za dużo opisów, za dużo wstawek z przeszłości, które tylko odbiegały od tematu. Chociaż nie można zaprzeczyć, że autorka potrafi trzymać w napięciu. Gdyby nie to już na samym początku odłożyłabym książkę na bok.

I enjoyed this enormously. The past-as-mystery element, the interwoven stories being told, the mathematics stories, the coffee.

I'd give this book 3.5 stars. There were things I loved and hated. It was a little too wordy at times, but there were parts that I didn't want to stop listening to. The narrator did a really great job. And I don't think I could have ever actually 'read' the book - it was better on CD. I hated t...
