But after I read it to the end, there was this 'something' that made the book special. <br />And I think it's becuz the book almost resembled our usual, daily life. <br /><br />If somebody's reading this, and ecspecially someone planning to read this book, this book is personally recommended by me! :) So don't hesitate reading it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1156546427595919702006-08-25T17:53:00.000-05:002006-08-25T17:53:00.000-05:00I have read this book and might just read it again...I have read this book and might just read it again after I finish the one on Tom Jefferson that I am reading over. <BR/><BR/>Betty is working, Helen, and will never post...soon ...again...always late.Galla Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765021266883258286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1156047214765386212006-08-19T23:13:00.000-05:002006-08-19T23:13:00.000-05:00Noel, I'm glad to see you back from your trip.

That's the first thing I could relate to, and then there's cruelty, deception, alcoholism, bigamy, and attempted child molestation...and all of that is tempered by compassion, honesty, industriousness, loyalty and love. Sigh.
