The characters and family drew me in with each page. I picked it up to read every chance that I got, and it stayed with me for weeks after I read it.Ελλάδαhttp://ucanbewhatuwant.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-89159691031575518872011-05-31T07:45:16.087-07:002011-05-31T07:45:16.087-07:00I have been hearing so many great things about thi...I have been hearing so many great things about this book - it is already on my TBR but it must go closer to the top.<br /><br />Thank for being on this tour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-82843933373627988372011-05-27T18:44:31.990-07:002011-05-27T18:44:31.990-07:00I am intrigued by this but worried that subject ma...I am intrigued by this but worried that subject matter would get me upset/angered about the whole real life situation.

I too was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school and think so much of how this was handled is just wrong wrong wrong. I suspect I will end up reading this even though I'm a lapsed Catholic now.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-31835769342082958672011-05-24T08:40:54.109-07:002011-05-24T08:40:54.109-07:00I think the author made a good decision telling th...I think the author made a good decision telling the story through the eyes of Art's sister. Adds a little buffer for the reader because of the subject matter.

I was raised Catholic as well. My brief thoughts are scheduled to post tomorrow.<br /><br />BTW, in the comment form Blogger showed my name as anonymous even though I'm signed into my acct.

I'm not Catholic, but I think everyone has been saddened by some of the things that have been revealed and the decisions made by the people in charge. I keep remembering that there was only one perfect person that ever lived and everyone else is only human and, therefore, flawed in many ways. <br /><br />I liked the way you described how this family reacted and I'm going to try to read this one very soon.Kayhttp://myrandomactsofreading.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-49792169148820190102011-05-24T06:05:08.177-07:002011-05-24T06:05:08.177-07:00I'm really looking forward to getting this boo...I'm really looking forward to getting this book sometime.
