Just not my crater of tea
By Darlene
This is not my normal read. If we demeanour during my bookshelves practical and genuine we would see that a infancy of my reads are about and/or created by womyn. Strong womyn not upheld by men.
That said, a thing we adore about Kindle and GoodReads is that we have a possibility to enhance my horizons. The Antique Hunters is a amiable distraction. This is a light read. It did keep my seductiveness all a approach to a end. The characters are good grown and flawed. The commencement of a books points out a flaws. we didn't like any of a characters. we kept reading to find their saving values. And L. H. Thomson did give them middle strength to lift them to their improved selves.
I desired a entrance of antiques and a vacation tour a categorical characters were on. A hunt for adore and passion for life (joie de vie?) brings a reader to a place full of antiques and secrets.
The descriptions of dishes was many amazing. we wish everybody has had an knowledge with dishes that move such romantic catharsis.
Oh, we only remembered a angst describing a many horrible commute. Thanks for reminding me. Living in Southern California meant a lot of those jams. we had a invert that taken after 10 P.M. could be a discerning 20 notation jaunt. But there were jams that could take some-more than dual hours with highway fury vivid off of everybody on a road. Everyone indispensable to get to work dual hours ago and there didn't seem to be a let up. we indispensable someone to take me to France!
Speaking of France... The hardest thing for me to get by were a passages in French. Especially those with no translations in a context. Had they been in German or Spanish or even Latin, we competence have had some-more luck. Luckily, they didn't confuse from a story. If we examination with text-to-speech on as we have to, even a accents were difficult. Even then, a story was clever adequate that it pulled me through.
It's value a read. we did suffer it.

It's a gentle, relaxing read...
By Pamela aka Scottieluvr

The Antique Hunters' an beguiling examination sprinkled with sarcastic humor. The healthy contemporary tract moves fluidly while a detailed dialog stays transparent and purify via a read. Overall it's a gentle, relaxing read.
The characters are charming, genuine and loyal to a story. Instantly a reader comprehends any impression and their purpose within a story. we never did rivet with Delphinium, mostly since of her typecast abounding [read: snooty] persona. In fact we depreciate her. However, her husband, Burton is likeable, in an loser kind of way. Born middle-class and lacking any good ambition, Burton appears easy going and simplistic. Secondary and repugnant characters are believable, interesting as they minister some-more ambiance and credentials story into this softly comedic read.
I do adore this line from a story; Burton is referring to his father-in-law: "He has a amiability of a fish stick." - quoted: Thomson, L.H. (2012-02-12). The Antique Hunters (Kindle Locations 526-527). J.I. Loome. Kindle Edition. I'll be regulating that line when a event arises.
