Hope you've all enjoyed the book as much as I have!

A clever time-travel story, "To Say Nothing of the Dog" is one of the most thoroughly entertaining novels I've read in recent memory. Connie Willis has done a first-rate job of juggling well-drawn characters, multiple plot strands (that come together beautifully at the end), period winks-and-nods, and speculative theory into a whole that far transcends any genre. And she has made it amusing throughout. I smiled and chuckled the entire way through this one, right up to the very end. The author's light-touch is perfectly suited here, and makes for one for one of the best books of the nineties!
ReplyDeleteI particularly enjoyed it because we had read Three Men in a Boat. Now I want to go back and reread it to see how connected the two books are.
