Read through my review (I think it is virtually spoiler-free apart from a few details I may have given away inadvertently) and we'll discuss it from there. How does that sound? In the meantime, stay the course and don't give up on the novel! :)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-17815002458626721972006-11-17T16:07:00.000-05:002006-11-17T16:07:00.000-05:00Would be glad to share, Cereal Girl, not sure when...Would be glad to share, Cereal Girl, not sure when I'll get to the Penelopiad, but get to it I will! ;)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-69764879047178995182006-11-16T12:52:00.000-05:002006-11-16T12:52:00.000-05:00Hey Lotus,
