Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-07 00:00:00 Belinda Robinson Had this novel only provided this magnificent sentence ( ), well, "dayenu," as our people say. But it offers so much more. I'm glad to have read it, albeit belatedly.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-09-22 00:00:00 Richard Obrien I bought this book because I loved "Tolstoy Lied" by the same author. In "Tolstoy" the characters were very well developed and I truly cared for each of them. "Tolstoy Lied" was released a year after this one, but I figured "Who changes a lot in one year?" I was very wrong. "From a Sealed Room" was very slow. The characters were kind of thrown into your face at the beginning and I had a hard time keeping them straight in my mind as I continued on to the second, third chapters. I didn't care for the characters either. I felt no connections. I didn't believe they each were very well developed. If one of them suddenly died, it really wouldn't've affected me. I got half way through the book in a matter of weeks, and have since put it down. This is a very sad moment when I cannot finish a book. (cue funeral music) I bought this book three months ago and have yet to finish it. That is not typical of me. I read books in from one to four days... for me to not finish a book speaks volumes (haha). "Tolstoy Lied" is still one of my favorites, but "From a Sealed Room" will be passed down the line to make room for more greats on my book shelf. Sorry Rachel.
