This book was very British and very boring! It was just too wordy for me. Everything was desribed in much detail and the wordiness took away from the plot. The descriptions of the gardens were very visual but not exciting enough to make up for the dry plot.

I enjoyed this book, and found it worth reading. It wasn't a "great" book, but still it kept my attention and I read it fairly quickly.

This is a pretty good book. The garden itself was described in some detail, but the pitcture helped the most. Has some intrique in it. Overall reall good book.

I tried to get into this book I really did. Usually I am able to work though a book but after 100 pages I couldn't do it anymore. For me there wasn't any kind of flow to the book the language was choppy and the story didn't flow at all. I was disappointed I couldn't make it though because the blurb I read about the book made it sound very intersting but for me there wasn't enough happening in the first 100 pages to kept me intrested.

Fantastic read! The mythology and garden descriptios alone make this book worthwhile, but it actually had a nice plot with a few twists that caught me off guard. Well written and engaging language kept me drawn to each chapter as the plot unfolded. Nicely done.
