So far, a hard read. I enjoy it when I read it, but when I set it down, it might be a few days before I pick it back up again. That's how I know I'm having trouble getting into a book-when I don't want to immediately pick it back up once I set it down! I'm trying to motor my way through it, but it is slow going! Updated 3/19/11: Just finished Moby Dick last night. What a hard read! I found a lot of it to be kind of boring and extraneous to the real story. For example, there might be one chapter focusing on the Pequod (the ship) and the events happening, and then the next two or three chapters are about how one specific rope on the ship functions, or how whales have been portrayed in art, or a story of some other random whaling ship and what happened to it. And then back to another chapter about the Pequod, then back to random other details. If they would edit it to take those chapters out, the book would be half as long and flow a lot better. The actual battle with Moby Dick was about 10-15 pages of a chase and then one page of the final showdown, so it felt anticlimactic to me. Plus, I think I approached it with the wrong frame of mind. Ahab is clearly the villain, and poor Moby Dick was just defending his territory! I didn't feel sorry for the whalers at all. So-maybe I'll give this book another try in a few years, but for me right now, it was just ok. Sorry, Melville!

** spoiler alert ** Truthfully, I was rather disappointed with this book. I've read and enjoyed the other books in this series, which, while not the best time travel romances I've ever read, were at least light and fun. Like the others, "Must Love Kilts" had a great premise, but in my opinion it fell flat in its execution. The hero, Magnus, and heroine, Margo, don't even meet for the first time until about halfway through the book, although they do have dreams/fantasies about each other before that. The first half of the book drags in a lot of places, with the author spending too much time on Margo's obsession with all things Scottish, her desperation to win the trip, and her disappointment with the tour's fast-paced itinerary when she arrives. After Magnus and Margo finally meet, they rush into a relationship. Magnus thinks she's a witch for about five seconds after she appears on the beach, but he quickly comes to believe that she is an innocent victim of Donata's curse and can't wait to get her into bed. Margo obviously reciprocates his feelings because she becomes practically incoherent with lust if he so much as stands too close to her. Basically, the only thing she can say is "O-o-oh," which became incredibly annoying as the book progressed. (By the way, is that supposed to be an "oo" as in "moo" or an "oh" as in "Joe"? Either way, if I never see an "o-o-oh" in another book again, it will be too soon.) Their relationship turns steamy very quickly, and Margo falls in love with Magnus and worries about whether or not she'll be able to stay with him in his time. I really had a hard time believing that Margo could fall in love with Magnus so quickly because they barely even talked to each other. How could she possibly know enough about him to be in love? All they seem to think about is getting each other into bed. I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if Magnus and Margo's relationship had been better developed. It would have been nice to see them spend some time together without tearing their clothes off. While I found Margo to be somewhat annoying, I did like Magnus as a hero. His character's history was well developed, and his motivation for turning into the "Viking Slayer" was clear. Some of the secondary characters were entertaining as well, especially Orosius, Ewan, and Margo's group of friends in the present. Overall, I would not recommend reading this book unless you have read the others in the series and really want to find out what happens to Margo. She is the sister of Mindy Menlove, who was the heroine of the fourth book, "Some Like It Kilted." I think Mindy's book was a lot better than Margo's.
