Complicated families interest me, especially when they're raw and confused like that.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968663054236997827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901280574734511274.post-23399438263502036702010-06-26T18:43:28.086-04:002010-06-26T18:43:28.086-04:00Well, let me know what you think about The Lonely ...Well, let me know what you think about The Lonely Polygamist. I read about 10 pages before chucking it across the room. I just can't summon any empathy for a man with a bunch of wives who is starting to feel 'overwhelmed by it all.'<br />I liked what you said about the ending of Lemon Cake--a nice roundness to it. I totally get what you mean. You can believe or not believe.<br />And I did love When You Reach Me. My favorite middle reader since Castle in the Attic.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673723802210727847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901280574734511274.post-15740751681683128632010-06-25T14:17:21.597-04:002010-06-25T14:17:21.597-04:00So.

I haven't felt that way about a book in ages (although When You Reach Me came close). I loved it. Bender's prose is miraculous. I could feel every word. I liked the twist, it gave the story a nice roundness to it, rather than a sharp focus. Anthropology got moved over for The Lonely Polygamist, but it's still on the list!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968663054236997827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901280574734511274.post-22389559992949646272010-06-22T10:32:24.816-04:002010-06-22T10:32:24.816-04:00Ooh I loved that one too!
