The Luminaries

I just finished reading my first novel of the year, which is a bit surprising since we're already two weeks into 2014. However, there is a good reason for this. The book is over 800 pages long! What book was good enough to hold my interest for over 800 pages? The Luminaries, written by Eleanor Catton and winner of the Man Booker Prize.

When I first heard a review of this book on NPR after it was announced that it had won the Man Booker, I knew I had to read it. I was not disappointed.  

If you are looking for a long, yet very engaging book, to get you through this cold, grey winter, I highly recommend The Luminaries.

OK..I put that book on my list to read. I'm reading a lot at night before bed. I'm into Amish murders/mysteries. Not sure how I got into it but I just keep reading them. The Luminaries sounds like a good book. I went to Amazon and read the reviews plus yours. Cool now another book to read. Thanks,,,
