Sometimes I really hate google. (it's not the first time I type a very witty comment, click publish, and it goes to some internet neverland<br /><br />Anyway, what I was going to say is that it is such a shame because I was looking forward to this book because the premise looked really interesting. The writing sounds awful, though. However, occasionally the writer convinces me to his peculiar writing and once I get into his rhythm after a few pages, I sail just fine, so I might still possibly try it.<br /><br />I'm copying this comment before I click publish!Kingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670888226156369655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-13835378884345928132013-02-17T06:32:19.363+00:002013-02-17T06:32:19.363+00:00LOL!
