I have a passion for music, and the musical description was lovely. I had also never realized that Sirius was the dog star (adds another layer of understand to J.K. Rowling’s character Sirius in the Harry Potter books). The writing seems beautiful from the quotes listed here.

Okay, you got me at “giveaway” but having read the review, this book is now on my Amazon wishlist because I will either get it for myself or as a gift. As a nature lover, I fear losing my eyesight, and yet this story shows that the visual is but one dimension of nature, just a eyesight is but one sense. The excerpts show the writing to be very fine–crisp and clean and rich. Plus it takes place in Scotland, and if you didn’t get me at “giveaway” you would’ve got me at “Skye.”

Sometimes I forget that a book doesn’t have to be written in the 1800s be the kind of book I like…thanks.

I’d love to read this book; it sounds great. I love the comparison of Keir’s voice to chocolate (especially since I can totally relate to the “serious chocolate” part — I’m a chocolate snob too!). I’d also love to revisit Skye with Marianne and Keir (I was there years ago and it’s a beautiful spot). Great review, by the way!

I really love your review. I am very intrigued by the POV. The description of Keir’s voice has me wanting to know more about him. The way Keir describes the Stars quote has made me curious about their interaction with one another…he is very descriptive.
Those are just a few reasons as to why I want to read Star Gazing.
