I mean, it is written in the exact same format (pen-pal letters), and yet the plot is completely original! (Of course, it was written first, so I guess I should really say that this one is original).<BR/><BR/>And I'm so jealous that you got a review copy of <I>The Spell Book of Listen Taylor</I>!!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236078821945648813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610366091004609539.post-90678434156922869332007-08-07T15:06:00.000-04:002007-08-07T15:06:00.000-04:00I think that this novel is brilliant.

You have to re-evaluate everthing and you find out that it isn't such a light read after all - there's considerable depth. I was just so darned impressed. I became an immediate fan.Jackie Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142876691306805769noreply@blogger.com
