However, I completely agree that this was a captivating read, it's one of my most memorable of 2010.

I know, how could I even say it. But like Nick Hornby, I found his relationships too unrealtistic in an over-the-tope-cheesy-romantic-comedy kind of way (irritating mostly), and that's just not my cup of tea. But I'll trust your review, as I feel our literary taste is very similar. I'm always looking forward to the review of your next book!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-235373488397345502010-11-23T20:13:41.673-06:002010-11-23T20:13:41.673-06:00Avid Reader, I know Dexter really upset me through...Avid Reader, I know Dexter really upset me throughout the book.
