When I found this out, it removed a lot of my WTF reaction to the second half. The first half is really good; the second half, relative pap and felt like a betrayal of the first half.<br /><br />Everyone knows that the formal sequels were written to spec; I hate that LW is published as if it were one "continuous" work.

Just about everyone in the world has asked me if I named my cat after the character in this book. Well everyone 20+ years older than myself. Apparently it was required reading once. The answer btw is no.<br /><br />Thanks for the Classics Club acknowledgment, Amanda. Your contribution is fantastic.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602307806784416609noreply@blogger.com
