Thank you dfn8tly,
Your post is so funny. And I can tell from just those words of yours about the words that you would have loved the conversation at my house last night about this book. The person explaining to me why I should read it was an English major undergrad with a masters in tech writing. Just retired from tech writing. And yes, even she was at a loss for words.
She told me that there is one paragraph that she goes back to and reads again and again because it is so perfect. I will have to find out where it is. She also said that it is a book she will read again. That is something she seldom does. She said that there is a little stuff written from a dog viewpoint and that even that is perfectly done. And she is a dog lover so she would know.
I will buy this soon. I can't get my nose out of
American Wife for right now.
How funny is this. A bunch of word people with no words to describe a perfect book written by a computer guy.
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is sure going to be interesting for book clubs to do. Nobody will know what to say.
And about that one book in an author.
To Kill A Mockingbird -- perfect. And it is the one movie from a book that worked fine for me.
