I love it. Infact, I've got most of the people I work with reading it. And everyone I can tell about it on Facebook. I loved it. Like alot. I get all excited talking with people about it. One friend read it, and she said its one of her top faves. And she reads. Alot (me, not so much). Confirmed, I'm not just biased. =) But I'm glad you didn't add certain things and showed that a good book doesn't have to have X, Y, Z to make it worth reading.Kenton and Marianne Ogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04105582939747756517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-7767589026477972122012-02-11T20:58:57.382-08:002012-02-11T20:58:57.382-08:00Interesting.

Been meaning to post a comment and tell you how much I LOVED loved loved your power point at the launch party. You had me in stitches. I wish Doug could have come. And I wanted to stay so you could sign me book, but I had to get home to relieve my babysitters. Anyhow, I have a list of people wanting to borrow my copy. I keep telling them to buy their own! Have a good time at the Conference. And will you sign my book one day while you're cruising by? ;)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266580814892668109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-84677322359977444452012-02-10T10:18:40.390-08:002012-02-10T10:18:40.390-08:00Why did you not decide to name one of the characte...Why did you not decide to name one of the characters after me?

All kids...I think it's English Class syndrome. All kids were taught to dissect a book and look for intent while in highschool. While this can be a useful skill sometimes the students aren't taught to enjoy a book or that a story can exist just for the story's sake. <br /><br />If authors push agendas rather than listening to the characters it can come off as flat and insipid. Glad you listened to the story.S.P.

She did have an agenda when writing her book after all and a well known agenda at that Maybe now readers think all authors have one?<br /><br />Or maybe I'm just a touch cynical...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
