I liked the book because it has a page that reads "zzzzz". I like that sound. The pictures are also really nice.

It wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm not sure if I can quantify why--perhaps it's because I felt the romance was a bit all over the place; as a reader I was rooting for Tian Bai, partially because it felt like that was who Li lan wanted to be with for a majority of the novel. Intellectually, I recognized/knew that Er Lang made more sense for Li lan, but I had not yet fully switched to rooting for Er Lang before the novel ended. The writing also at times felt a bit distanced (emotionally) but that was a smaller concern for me.

As always King does not disappoint. I was frustrated with Arnie the whole time as I watched the grip Christine/LeBay’s ghost had on him grow and he alienated everyone and destroyed his entire life. The part at the end where the police try to crush the car into a little cube and one swears it but him...and you are left imagining the cube slowly popping back, growing bigger, and Christine putting herself back together. Also made me not want to eat burgers in a car for a long time.

it was fun

This is a fantastic book of Bertrice Small. It follows the titular character through multiple adventures and multiple marriages. No one can write romance like thr late Bertrice Small.

I like big foot in the story.

It's cool that the statue is so big.

My favorite part was when the space shuttle docked at the international space station.

This is about Maria having a Christmas celebration with family. She has a new cousin named Ruben. At church she sees a lonely Mr. Liuez so they invite him to their party.

Cool! They dropped the flag so early.
