This is your previous post, but it caught my eye. I read the review of Kathi's book. It sounds interesting and I intend to look it up. And I'm glad you pointed out what bothered you at the beginning of it; sometimes I think we're reluctant to point out "flaws" in our friends' work. But if we're not honest in our critiques, then what good IS a critique?<br /><a href="http://ann-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann</i></a>Ann Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628616245339887301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803047425232683562.post-3268903882478636742010-09-23T11:59:47.961-07:002010-09-23T11:59:47.961-07:00Thanks for your review, Lori.

I work with that age group. The word choices weaken him as a tough guy, and ultimately steal from the edge his transformation could have had. I think a combination of getting used to the way he talks, and the author getting more comfortable in his head as the book progresses, lends to my overall acceptance of him as a teen by the end of the novel. <br /><br />Thanks for the great comment!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919434639446724942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803047425232683562.post-27295317371610647622010-09-18T10:23:33.208-07:002010-09-18T10:23:33.208-07:00Flsongbyrd, I'm glad you enjoyed the review.
