To give this a start, this will be the place to discuss The Moonstone Chapters 1-5. Let the book club discussion ensue!
Thank you for the recommendation, AGBF.AGBF said:I was afraid someone had already started reading the book and posting about it! Since I do not, yet, have my copy it was making me feel woefully inadequate! I have to admit that it was a relief to open this thread and see that no one had, yet, launched an in-depth analysis of the book! I finished The Glow Stone today; for those who like "young adult fiction" or who teach teenagers, I recommend it. It isn't really very deep, but it is a cute book. (This comment probably doesn't belong in this thread. Sorry.)

Glad to hear mine isn't the only one restarting haha. I really liked it though, I feel much more familiar with the narrator because of it.
Tuckins1 said:I have read the first 8 chapters so far... I am definitely enjoying the story, but it's kind of hard for me to read too much of it at a time. I think it's because it's written in an old english fashion, and tends to go on and on at times. Kind of like reading Tolkein, the language sometimes requires a lot of focus and concentration and I don't always have the patience. I do like it though. I really want to find out more about just what the three Indians are doing with that "ink"....

Oh Deb, I loved The Help! I just finished it a few weeks ago, and I couldn't put it down! It's such a great book.
