    JE, it sounds like I'm going to climb up on that horse again, even though it threw me the first time. It also sounds like I may be interviewing you a second time.


    That might be neat. The first time we were strangers.

    I noticed that a fringe political blog put up a grossly distorted version of my Signal review and left my initials on it. Boy, that is really mean-spirited and underhanded. And they blocked comments so I can't repudiate the phony version. Welcome to the wild world of blogging, DH. The wildness is acceptable but being unethical is not.

    Wanted to love it because of what you said about it. Found myself disliking this book very much. If I had to read Vonnie say 'Mister' one more time....


    I'm so sad that I don't like it. sigh. I've NEVER not liked a book you guys have recommended.

    Gosh Nancy, I'm sorry that you didn't like the book. I liked it as a stretch for myself since I am the opposite of an outdoor type.


    I think the whole story rides on the lead character...if you don't like him then you don't like the book. I found him interesting...and the setting was exotic for me since I have only been out west a couple of times.
