Very very good book. I enjoyed the characters and really wanted to follow their story even more. The story has stuck with me and I'm actually very interested to see how they did the movie now that I've read the book.

Reading this series for me is like eating popcorn--addictive but not especially filling. I'm not sure I'll persist after No. 2, though it is clever, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. (I liked Polyphemus wearing a "World Sheep Expo" T-shirt.) The heavy-handed cliffhanger ending annoyed me, though, and did not make me want to rush out and read the next story. I imagine it would have a different effect on a 12-year-old.

the closest faulkner gets to popular fiction. This book is such strange "whodonit" you wonder what compelled him to write. nonetheless faulkner brings another powerful story about the tragedy that befalls those who sympathize with blacks in a still all too segragated south and the sorts of misbegotten perceptions of race relations.

It was a book by Elizabeth Berg; if you know me, I don't need to say anything more. Often when a novel ends there's a pull of wishing there was more to it. I don't necessarily feel that way with a collection of short stories but here I turned the last page hoping there was just one more story.

A good story, and one I'd especially recommend for teachers. My full review is here: http://imponderabilia.blogspot.com/20...
