This is one of my all-time favorite books! I loved it in high school and have read it several times since then. I even chose it for my book club a few years back.

I'll have to keep in mind that the story gets a little better during the second half and to stick with it. I have seen the movie and wasn't quite impressed--but I'm not sure that means anything (especially with a TV movie...which I am usually underwhelmed by anyway).Trishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734477124047219201.post-72353996320447078162008-07-22T18:05:00.000-07:002008-07-22T18:05:00.000-07:00I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this one.
