I was a little skeptical of a mother's ability to write such a long, coherent, letter when your daughter is missing. I was thrilled to see your review of it! The book sounds very interesting. I always seem to like books by male authors who are able to write female characters well.<br><br>Thank you for a wonderful review!<br><br>~ AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215390260586048055.post-30266795207586318632010-05-25T00:16:29.716-07:002010-05-25T00:16:29.716-07:00I read your review as it was posted and located th...I read your review as it was posted and located the book inthe library and read it. Yes I think that some of us fall into the category of not being entirely truthful with our children and being a big over protective maybe. It was an eye opener for me personally.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215390260586048055.post-84037683036714621792010-05-24T18:41:49.470-07:002010-05-24T18:41:49.470-07:00I like to think that the things I'm now saying...I like to think that the things I'm now saying that my mom said aren't just parroted phrases. I think I would believe that the way she taught me to treat other people and the way that I teach my kids is "right." I also like to believe that "because I said so" is a perfectly legitimate thing for a mom to say!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215390260586048055.post-77158201989088559022010-05-24T15:35:46.821-07:002010-05-24T15:35:46.821-07:00I always find it fascinating when men can write li...I always find it fascinating when men can write like women.

I do like the fact that the author writes so convincingly, but other aspects of the plot don't sound like things that I would really like that much. I am not sure if this would be a good choice for me or not, but luckily the tour is going on, so I can get some more info and try to decide. Thanks for the great review!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215390260586048055.post-79656380826736925972010-05-24T06:28:48.919-07:002010-05-24T06:28:48.919-07:00I found this thought-provoking: "I think, fe...I found this thought-provoking: "I think, feel like the things we are saying to our children are for their own good and are universal. And, maybe, that all of us fear that we are turning into our mothers when we say certain things. Which, of course, means that maybe our moms were right." I have often wondered - does it really mean they were "objectively" "right" or does it mean we inculcated their words and values and now parrot them subconsciously?rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
