I lived there for several years, so I&#39;ll have to check this out out. My husband and I renovated an old house when we lived in Ann Arbor, and believe me, renovations add stress to even the best of marriages :-).<br /><br />Seriously, though, looks like an interesting book and I&#39;m taking note of it.Valeriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10401551604933163595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023247700886618342.post-82509309077459498312010-02-25T03:04:37.689-04:002010-02-25T03:04:37.689-04:00Gosh!

I would have been perfectly happy if our house had kept that secret forever.softdrinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14228292413339353925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023247700886618342.post-63861694756218269232010-02-24T19:39:28.836-04:002010-02-24T19:39:28.836-04:00I have seen a few review of this around and I think from reading your review that I can safely add this to books that I wan to read. I like that it has a slightly spooky quality to it too.Nicole (Linus's Blanket)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12473607646939202824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023247700886618342.post-1896082424196364492010-02-24T15:41:26.985-04:002010-02-24T15:41:26.985-04:00When we were house hunting one time, I walked into a house that really gave me the creeps and I don&#39;t know why. I was barely in the front door and I told the realtor that I wanted to leave. I always wondered if something awful had happened there. Because of my experience, this book sounds good to me.bermudaonionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023247700886618342.post-8907747527716457942010-02-24T14:35:23.758-04:002010-02-24T14:35:23.758-04:00I have heard mixed things about this book, and your review seems to capture the good points of the book as well as some of the less desirable points very clearly. I am still interested in reading it, but it has dropped a bit on my list. I am glad that it turned out to be a pretty good read for you. I liked hearing your thoughts on it.Zibileehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023247700886618342.post-82097565759368456872010-02-24T13:18:48.259-04:002010-02-24T13:18:48.259-04:00Interesting how a house can be many things to different people. I&#39;m glad you enjoyed the story overall. Few stories work perfectly for me, so I understand why part of this book didn&#39;t work for you. <br /><br />Great review...very balanced! Thanks for being on the tour!trishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10688001590373132381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023247700886618342.post-24073085424475126452010-02-24T13:13:51.341-04:002010-02-24T13:13:51.341-04:00The idea of renovating a house as a project to repair a marriage just does NOT make sense to me - I would think it would only make things worse. Call me a cynic. And I always think of that Tom Hanks movie, the Money Pit.<br />Great review.Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06478474870247729611noreply@blogger.com
