I appreciate that you are able to give a fair and impartial review on a book you did not necessarily care for. I also like that you still give the author kudos and encourage your audience to look up prior works from the author that you did like. <br />Great review, I am a fan.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425011656130107207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-71354760939703984952010-09-19T09:16:07.480-07:002010-09-19T09:16:07.480-07:00This is a new to me author.
