I can't imagine how anyone thought to make humor of the death of a child. Frankly, there is plenty of ridiculousness in everyday lives to write about - you don't need to make stuff up!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-55529115074163365672016-02-09T18:47:17.956-05:002016-02-09T18:47:17.956-05:00I'm glad u enjoyed this one.

It was incredibly hyped up. I was at my local bookseller and initially was wary of buying it until a bookseller saw it in my hands and said she just couldn't stop laughing while reading the second one (the one in email format). I appreciate your post, and look forward to others.The Bibliophile Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200900423545502839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-22900714636285935252016-02-09T08:46:56.350-05:002016-02-09T08:46:56.350-05:00Yes, the reviews are mixed for sure.Yes, the reviews are mixed for sure.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-16307627282011004462016-02-09T08:46:29.235-05:002016-02-09T08:46:29.235-05:00Different stokes for us readers LOLDifferent stokes for us readers LOL(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-39961591708145800732016-02-09T08:45:42.043-05:002016-02-09T08:45:42.043-05:00Just not my kind of stories.Just not my kind of stories.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-38024261042053324812016-02-09T08:45:07.038-05:002016-02-09T08:45:07.038-05:00I do like the 50's cover as well - just expect...I do like the 50's cover as well - just expecting different storylines.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-84787461613758140072016-02-09T08:43:29.156-05:002016-02-09T08:43:29.156-05:00The blurb appeals to me, but most of the reviews s...The blurb appeals to me, but most of the reviews seem lukewarm at best.
