Lord knows I wanted to love it and stay with it - there were moments of fun and hilarity, but they were too few and far between. It is my very first Pratchett and I came out feeling horribly underwhelmed or too dense to not have caught on what was going on - or is the point to confuse the reader and to just take the reader for a ride and go with it and enjoy it? I am honestly confused. A few of my book club members (it was universally loathed by the way) even suggested sending the first two chapters of the book to a publisher - using a different obscure name - just to see whether there would even be any take-up, if at all. That would be an interesting experiment. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-1153948610034241212015-04-28T09:25:46.109-05:002015-04-28T09:25:46.109-05:00Good for you!

She came to talk to my class about it-powerful visit. The Palazzo Inverso looks and sounds amazing. Escher's works are fascinating. Thanks for so much, I appreciate hearing about all these diverse books.

They are such amazing women! If you read their novels, Fatty Legs and A Stranger at Home, you will learn more. We had a conversation today about bullying and it seems like Wings is the kind of book that would be helpful.
