FEB

2008

My daughter gave me this book for Christmas and said I would love it. After I finished it I asked her if she had actually read it and she just laughed and said no - that the person at the book store said it was good. It is long and drawn out - it seems to skip around and it's kind of hard to follow - probably because I just wasn't in to it. I have since seen the musical - someone gave me a ticket because I sure wasn't going to pay for it after the book and I absolutely love it! Much better on stage and not hard to follow at all. Whoever did the re-write for stage did a great job!
