But then I got to a point where I didn't WANT to read anything else, and that's when it really took off.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293316104653990391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574842610528359160.post-56341665954809344522011-12-09T19:30:29.842-08:002011-12-09T19:30:29.842-08:00Cat- Thanks for mentioning how long it took you to...Cat- Thanks for mentioning how long it took you to get into the story.

(Actually, I'm always more interested in films that feature more than one or two interesting characters. Somewhat like LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and a French film called 8 WOMEN ...) I haven't read stories on NDE yet, so maybe this will be my first. =)Claudinehttp://www.carryusoffbooks.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574842610528359160.post-51400488945625200342011-12-08T17:38:54.313-08:002011-12-08T17:38:54.313-08:00Anne, I think you'd really like it.
