I can't wait! Are you also, by any chance, a Rex Stout fan? Also, I'll leave the link so that it comes to this blog. But, I'm happy to change it back and forth if that works for you. :)Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678698296265168217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-54688747904148550482009-09-03T08:46:52.240-05:002009-09-03T08:46:52.240-05:00Cullen - Thanks for the props.

As I went along, however, I really got into it. <br /><br />Jenn - It's hard to read/like a book when you don't care about the characters. And the father/son dynamic is now more interesting as I am both.<br /><br />Charles - Here, the dynamics makes you slap your forehead at some parts and cheer at others. Just like real life.<br /><br />Patti - Pelecanos has yet to truly disappoint me. <br /><br />Barrie - Thanks for the link change. I think I'll keep all the book review club entries here at this blog so you don't have to change the link on your end. BTW, enjoyed the Perry Mason review. Up next for me is Perry Mason #2: The Case of the Sulky(?) Girl.Scott D.

There aren''t traditional delineations of "good" and "bad," or "hero" and "villain." Everyone is just a piece of a much bigger puzzle.Cullen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236957954996740924noreply@blogger.com
