The premise put me off to the point that I didn't try very hard. BUT, after seeing lots of reviews like yours, I'm tempted to try again.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-25999708084060816692012-02-10T15:44:09.111-06:002012-02-10T15:44:09.111-06:00It is!

As Picky said, humor can be hard to pull off so ti's always good to hear when it works out.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-61265464315482567472012-02-08T16:09:41.059-06:002012-02-08T16:09:41.059-06:00That was a good subplot.

Humor is, in my opinion, very difficult to get right, and this book worked for me. <br /><br />As you say, it could have been really trite, but I felt, instead, that it was fresh and engaging.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it.pickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906861942472773405noreply@blogger.com
