In Armageddon Summer, it bugged me more and more as the book went on because it was just so weirdly intrusive and unrealistic.<br /><br />Angela - See! That would have made sense and maybe it wouldn't have bothered me so much if that had been explored as an issue! But instead it was annoyingly implausible and inexplicable.<br /><br />Sophia - I loved Coville's Aliens series as well as his Magic Shop and Into the Land of the Unicorn series. And I loved Yolen's Pit Dragon trilogy-that's-now-got-four-books. That's why I was so excited to read this and was not disappointed (despite the Dickinson thing).Alzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550309817891415328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-69455591425810934942011-03-18T02:01:06.440-07:002011-03-18T02:01:06.440-07:00That's kind of a hilarious thing to have happe...That's kind of a hilarious thing to have happen. And weird.<br /><br />Coville and Yolen? Dang...those are heavyweights. The Alien teacher series scared the crap out of me as a kid. But everything scared the crap out of me then. And now.<br /><br />Hmn...maybe I need to pick this book up.Sophia Changhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946233873722107937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-10435669992958399852011-03-17T06:37:17.941-07:002011-03-17T06:37:17.941-07:00Fabulous review.

Maybe the main female character had aspergers and Dickinson was her special interest.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399082789777816445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-82120641355964754842011-03-16T18:30:27.872-07:002011-03-16T18:30:27.872-07:00Ooh, very good review.

I've thought of incorporating a book into the thoughts of a character, and this is making me think about how it could be done well, and not so well.<br />Another great one!Lydia Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484415427764822386noreply@blogger.com
