Feel free to share your general thoughts and opinions on the book - the plot, the characters, the style of writing, the setting, whatever strikes you. Also, you're invited to reference any scenes or passages you found memorable (for whatever reason).
If you'd prefer to answer questions rather than write freestyle, here are some:
1. Did you like the book? Why or why not?
2. Would you read it again or recommend it to a friend?
3. Who was your favorite character, and why?
4. Did it make you think? What about?
5. Did it make you happy or sad, afraid or hopeful...what did it make you feel, was there an overall impression when you finished it?

My New Dawn
In the spirit of Easter (Resurrection...New Life...), I'm going to catch up on the Bloggy Book Club!!! I know, as if Easter weren't miracle enough!!! :o)
Again, my apologies for falling behind. I've been a wee bit busy trying to sort out my plans for the future, after being let go from the job I held for the past twelve years. Needless to say, some major thinking has been required of me, not an easy task for a bear of little brain. Alas, I'm back and without further ado will now comment on the past two books (Revolutionary Road & Practicing the Presence of God) and the current one: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (by the way, we WILL be getting together to watch the movie version of this book, because it was such a cute flick and the inspiration for my adding this book to the list. Such fun!!!).
If you are still around and reading, please leave a comment! I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts on the books or just that you're alive and well. Of course, if you're still miffed about my slackness (understandable, mind you), you can always heave a virtual tomato my direction. :o)
