I read sister's keeper a while back. I also found it really good but really disturbing.
I'll have to go get that gnomes book. It sounds very educational and informative. ;)
Putz, you are definitely the Ebert & Siskel of the book world. Both Ebert and Siskel.
Hey! You're back!
I've read this book; it was very well written and a good read, but kind of like a bad train wreck. You want to look away, but you just can't. Good book, but very sad and disturbing.
Thanks for the review!
I have read Digital Fortress as well as Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons and the other one in the Arctic that I can't remember at the moment. I did enjoy reading it but Angels and Demon was my favourite.
Not sure I would want to read Sisters Keeper, but as you said I would probably find it compelling.
I have almost finished reading 'Dublin' by Edward Rutherfurd - my favourite author!If you want to find out more about Ireland and it's history you must read Ireland the Awakening as well as Dublin.
Glad to see you are back and normal again! lol
What does your hair look like now?
I am interested in reading My Sister's Keeper. It sounds good but that gnome book. You can give that a boot for me. I am afraid, very afraid of gnomes. They are ugly little creepy looking things that my children love to torture me with. I have posted about them on a blog I write with my sisters (Fuzi Sisters). They upset me, sort of. Well maybe they just creep me out.
I will be waiting with baited breath for your haircut.
Putz you have to keep writing. There is always something new....even if it is your haircut. I was just reading about your chicken grease incident. I had to laugh out loud as I could just picture you standing there pondering how you were going to snatch those keys and then tipping, running in and grabbing the keys and jumping in your car, pealing out and driving off never to be seen around those parts again. Ha ha!
I read Sister's Keeper and loved it. Have you read any of her other nooks? They are very good.
I am in the process of finishing the fourth book of the Twilight series - recommend that as well!
I will take you challenge and read Mr Murder. I will let you know what I think :)
My Sister's Keeper sounds interesting. I was wondering if it was true, but I see it's a novel. I remember reading about a family who did have another child to use for bone marrow, etc, for their daughter who had leukemia.
There actually was a couple that decided to give birth to another child because of a kidney problem with their older daughter. They had the baby with the intention of donating her kidney at a later date. It was sad but they decided that they loved the second child anyway.......
There was actually a family that was on the news that had another baby just so they could give their daughter a bone marrow transplant I think. The older daughter lived long enough and they did take the donation from the younger daughter. I found that to be disturbing myself.
Hope you are doing well Putz. I am and things are continuing to be busy but at least I'm not stuck in the house or in my rocker now, so that's good.
Glad you like my preachin. Let me know if you get tried of it - I'll try to change it up some.
