I absolutely hated it though. It was a wonderfully written fast past/make you up want to stay up all night finishing the book, but I can't stand movies or books that even a hint of animal cruelty in them. My book club just loved it though.Alex Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567976812466320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-23695646611294785752008-02-21T18:24:00.000-05:002008-02-21T18:24:00.000-05:00I haven't been able to keep up with blog reading l...I haven't been able to keep up with blog reading let alone crack open a new book.

My amazon wishlist is long enough as it is!!<BR/><BR/>I classify romance into a couple of categories - contemporary-crack-me-ups and bodice rippers.
