That was a very fun, short read. I may even listen again sometime.
Listened again but with my son this time. Still feel the same about it. He enjoyed it a lot.
Trying to get my wife into audio books and thought this would be a good pick for her. She liked it quite a bit. Score!
Close reading skills to teach you how to be a better writer. Better organized follow up from Francine Prose - Reading Like a Writer.
But there is no Faulkner :(
I loved this short glimpse into the author's experiences with her mother's passing. I do a more complete review on C-Spot Reviews but suffice it to say that I was caught up in it from the first few sentences and never even contemplated stopping until the final word.
I definitely recommend it and I immediately bought a copy for a friend once I was done reading it.
quick, cute, and fun.
