Oh I can't wait to read... thanks for the heads up....

Just put it on my list with my library.

I would like to read this as well.

I will check with my library in November.

Please provide a review if you read it.

It just showed up as a Facebook ad for me…looking forward to it!

It's 900+ pages. And I've not heard great things... Hope I don't agree
It's going to be a library book for me

 

[Bookworm]

Edited to add: most booksellers are not skiers, so there's that.

Aww I was also hoping to read it. What were the bad reviews based on?

 

[santacruz skier]

A good read - takes place in the french alps. "One by one" by Ruth Ware. Psychological thriller but there is skiing. I enjoyed it!

One by One - coming soon from Ruth Ware

A luxury chalet. An opportunity of a lifetime. Until guests start to disappear...

I've stayed in chalets both in Tignes and Chamonix and it was really fun (and scary) reading this book!

I’m intrigued!

Haven't read anything by Irving since The Cider House Rules, but judging from that and Garp, this could be a pretty wild ride!

In my experience, John Irving can be very, very good, -- or very, very bad. One of my all time favorite books is "A Prayer for Owen Meany." (If you haven't read it, you should.)

I'll definitely give "The Last Chairlift" a try.

In my experience, John Irving can be very, very good, -- or very, very bad.

I'm remembering the very very bad one I most recently tried to read.

I'll consider giving this one a try. Library, not purchase, since I'm not sure how it will go.

I was curious if we knew what they didn't like about it.

 

[Bookworm]

Not sure - I'll ask, but I bet it needed editing. Like Ski Diva said, sometimes he's brilliant and sometimes awful. PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANIE is one of my all time favorites as well

 

[liquidfeet]

I just read some of the reviews. They are mixed.
And it's over 900 pages. Not sure I'm up for that.
I've put my request in at the library.
