And 12 days later I finally finished “Fellowship Point!” My excuse is my 95 1/2 year old father’s health issues and all my driving back and forth to my hometown to see him.
I’ve skimmed through everyone’s comments above and don’t have a lot to add. I enjoyed the book a lot, in spite of several slow parts, varying writing styles and characters who disappeared long enough for me to scratch my head when they popped back into the story. My rating settled at 4 stars – 5 stars was just too generous.
I realized early on that there would be some major revelation in the book. For a while I thought it would be about Maud (which, in a way it was) but after the storyline put Heidi in the hospital outside of Philly with that list of words, I figured it was her. I also realized there were bad things coming when Agnes closed the window in the cabin where Virgil and Nan were living.
As others have noted, Dick was very aptly named – I couldn’t muster much sympathy for him, even in his decline. And Seela? What a witch!! Why did Robert just accept the charges against him instead of fighting them? Oh, and add James to the list of “not at all nice” characters.
As always, I’m good with the next selection. (I’m also OK with it being shorter than this one!)
