Acutally, I liked the book! Rarely do I get through a book, or does one grab my attention. It was one of the few books I read this year that I really couldn’t put down. It comes highly recommended from me!

At first I thought you were sharing the plot for your own bestseller, and I was like, “Dude! Somebody’s going to steal it! Shhh!” but then I know you wouldn’t make a basic error on page one. Still, you seem to be on the right track, here.

books these days are mostly like TV, from what I can tell (and remember).

I haven’t read it, but it was recommended to me by a friend I generally trust. Mostly, though, I just had to comment because I liked this quote: “I always start every book I finish ….” Naturally I misread that at first, assuming you meant you finish every book you start, but then you did say *that*. I wonder if this is a little-known fact about some sort of fish, too: They always start anything they finish. If so, what sort of fish might that be?

Well… actually I did (read it, and like it – sort of). Having lived in South America for a few years, I was curious about the political and social aspects. Admittedly, the plot collapsed towards the end, almost as if the author couldn’t decide how to bring it all to a close, so an editor slammed something together to meet the publisher’s deadline.
