Just goes to show ya...one (wo)man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure: I absolutely LOVEDTumbling, although it was a slow start in the beginning. Because of that book, as well as her other novels (although I didn't like them quite as much), I rank her as one of my favorite authors.
Books I just didn't like very much: "Maintenance Man" by (Michael Basiden)--just thought it was horribly written; "Snow Falling on Cedars" by (can't recall)-- I know lots of people thought this was the best book, and while compelling at times, it just took me TOO LONG to mush through it. "The Moaner's Bench" by Mars Hill just didn't do it for me either. I haven't been able to finish any Tina Ansa or more than one Toni Morrison novel, but I'll reserve judgement.
A final note: the worst offense an author can do: have an incredibly strong novel and then short change the ending--very disappointing. I'd rather you just make the entire novel bad.
