When I started this book I was entranced by it. I couldn't stop reading because I loved the stories indside of the larger story.
By the time I got to the middle of the book I was over the whole idea of the book.
As I started getting towards the end of the book I count wait for it to be over so I could move on.
Kat's notebook entries were aggravating to read, she seemed like an intelligent young woman until her inner monologue. Then she just seemed like a ditz.
Erin Morgenstern has an amazing way of bringing life and character to inanimate objects. She can give something like the wind a personality that makes you want to be friends with it.
But her actual characters seem kind of generic and bland. They lack personality and dimension.
It's sad that the ginger cat is more memorable than the main character.. or characters.
Who was this story really about? The bees?

It's hard for me to properly rate this book at this time. It's been over 20 years since I read this book, but I do remember the story and I enjoyed it when I did read it. "I wish he would settle down and plant roots". May not be verbatim, but that's how I remember it.
I did not fully read this book. While reading, I felt like I might have caught something between dyslexia and ADHD. Perhaps after a palette cleaner and some time with mediation I can get back to this book, but I have no desire to twist my brain in knots right now, trying to understand where this story is going. It is a story right?
I feel like the end of the book was rushed. It ended with a big let down. I think Andrew should scrap the final few chapters and re think the ending.
