I think I will read that one and pass on Made in the USA. With that many bad reviews I am not so tempted to read it. There are too many other books to read!<BR/>*smiles*<BR/>Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-48443299469306274492008-07-07T19:00:00.000-07:002008-07-07T19:00:00.000-07:00Lesa - I didn't care about the young girl, but Fat...Lesa - I didn't care about the young girl, but Fate tugged at my heartstrings. Maybe it was his passion for learning. Have you read any of her others?<BR/><BR/>Linda - Boy, from the sounds of it, everyone's been disappointed with this book. Like you, though, I really liked the young boy. But his sister continued to get into trouble and I just couldn't feel any sympathy for her at all. You said exactly what I was trying to say. There's a lot of ugliness in this book. Too bad.<BR/><BR/>Jill - Wow. I guess I should've given up at the 50 page mark, too. Both you and Lesa were smarter than me and didn't waste your time on this one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting. I'm enjoying your blog!<BR/><BR/>Lesley - If you only read one book by Letts, I highly recommend The Honk and Holler Opening Soon. It's got a great cast of characters. <BR/><BR/>We had a lovely, albeit cool, 4th. Strange weather this summer!<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth - I was really looking forward to it, too. Have a fun time in Victoria!<BR/><BR/>Laura - I loved them, too. The third was good, but not nearly as good as the first two. This one isn't even in the same league!<BR/><BR/>I have The Friday Night Knitting Club in my stacks, thanks to my wonderful mom who brought me over a dozen books last week. I need to move it to my nightstand so I get to it quickly. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>Andi - I would've forgotten, too, if I hadn't seen it on the new release shelf at work. I got sucked in by the cover, as well as the author's reputation.

I...Les,<BR/><BR/>I felt the same way as you about this book! I was so disappointed. I did like the characters - especially the young boy. However, the situations the girl got herself into and some of the things she did just upset me. If they had been in another book, I might have dealt with it. But not in a book by Letts. It just seemed alien to her way of writing - the ugliness of it all. I just didn't expect a book like this from her for some reason.<BR/><BR/>Linda in VALindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533063136544231663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-77774058410348432532008-07-03T13:12:00.000-07:002008-07-03T13:12:00.000-07:00Lesley,You validated what I thought.

Like you, I was disappointed.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.com
