I could only find the latter as a kids story, so decided to go with this. Sorry it was a little over the top, but I think it's a great expression of a violent, totalitarian world where nothing makes sense anymore. There is something amazing about the bizarre, but I bet it starts to wear on a person.Justin Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374349810819495863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707705635661641870.post-58495575264230694852012-11-07T11:35:05.191-07:002012-11-07T11:35:05.191-07:00Wow.

Especially if they didn't do what they did to the "Narnia" books and actually stayed true to the story. Anyway, I'm so glad you finally joined the fan club. I used to fantasize about having my own little car to explore another world in.

Far from persuading the reader to believe in the Trinity (I know, I know---that wasn't the narrator's intention), it just made the idea even more unbelievable. There were some warm and fuzzy parts but mostly this book just made me want to thwack something with it.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970332989449814000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707705635661641870.post-71161838414811418722009-06-28T20:29:13.511-06:002009-06-28T20:29:13.511-06:00Keep shrugging and shuffling.Keep shrugging and shuffling.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970332989449814000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707705635661641870.post-41450986257153045632009-06-28T20:27:30.810-06:002009-06-28T20:27:30.810-06:00I would like to know what it takes to be a wealthy...I would like to know what it takes to be a wealthy person.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970332989449814000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707705635661641870.post-44452226629882302312009-06-28T20:25:51.900-06:002009-06-28T20:25:51.900-06:00It's gotta be better than the movie.

I read this for my sociology class and found that Saunders' main purpose is to make a social commentary. It's a criticism on a general lack of willingness to undergo social change, but I never would have thought it judging from the juvenile facade.naceylayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409392996499283259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707705635661641870.post-66492747261553964172009-03-22T11:56:00.000-06:002009-03-22T11:56:00.000-06:00Yup.Yup.Philosophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112392257280309488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4707705635661641870.post-62808941788353786602009-01-07T12:15:00.000-07:002009-01-07T12:15:00.000-07:00I was going to leave a pithy comment but I'm too d...I was going to leave a pithy comment but I'm too distressed by your "whose opinion I USUALLY trust" (caps mine) remark.
