The Jack the Ripper mystery is a fascinating one.<br />Great review. <br /><br /><a href="http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/</a>The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-61755318368226375932010-09-24T17:50:19.784-03:002010-09-24T17:50:19.784-03:00I felt very similarly about this book.

It was interesting enough, but I had absolutely nothing to say about it at all, which is why it was one of my shorter reviews lately.Jen - devourer of bookshttp://www.devourerofbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-49483445738366720052010-09-24T15:50:42.411-03:002010-09-24T15:50:42.411-03:00I haven't read it yet, but I'm planning on...I haven't read it yet, but I'm planning on it.

I finally got Bitten and will read it and I rembered something from my childhood, I am French, I don't know if you knew, anyway, my grandmother was from Brittany and all our family firmly believed in werewolves, so did I. They all do in Brittany. Why did I forget this? Odd. And that is why I loved the movie The Company of Wolves, maybe you would like it.Carolinehttp://beautyisasleepingcat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-83341105959808787892010-09-24T13:59:35.003-03:002010-09-24T13:59:35.003-03:00I haven't read it but have it on my wish list....I haven't read it but have it on my wish list.
